Written by Tom Scholz
Billboard Chart: #5
the band
Tom Scholz - acoustic guitar, lead guitar, bass guitar
Brad Delp - vocals
Sib Hashian - drums
VH1 has it as their 39th best hard rock song of all time. Never mind that the group did at least 30 other songs that
sounded just like it. This was the original sound, fresh at the time. Their debut single from their debut album. An
instant success. This song's main riff is referenced in the Nirvana single "Smells Like Teen Spirit". Didn't know
that little tidbit did you? See, isn't this fun? And how about according to Tom Scholz, this song is about "The
thrill one gets while driving fast cars". And here I thought it was about love. The album went to #3 in the U.S. and
#11 in the U.K. and has sold over 17 million copies. This song kicked it off.
