Description: WBCN 104.1 FM went on the air in 1958 as a classical music station in Boston, Massachusetts. In 1968, a new rock format was implemented that would stick around for the next 41 years. WBCN became a legend in the industry for breaking many new bands through an eclectic mix of modern, alternative, and classic rock genres, eventually becoming known as "The Rock of Boston." In addition to rock music, WBCN began supporting non-mainstream investigative reporting and alternative news coverage, including live reports from demonstrations and highly produced montage news reports. The 2000s saw older listeners leaving in droves, and WBCN played its last record shortly after midnight on August 12, 2009, leaving WBCN as a legend of American rock radio.
Description: Released in 1978, Don't Look Back is the second studio album by American rock band Boston. The album reached No. 1 in both the US and Canada, and No. 9 in the UK. The title track helped with the album's success, reaching No. 4 in 1978 on the US Hot 100 and remains one of the band's biggest hits. The album sold over one million copies in the ten days following its release. Don't Look Back was originally to be titled Arrival, however, it was discovered that a Swedish pop group released an album by that name two years prior, so Don't Look Back was chosen. The album received favorable reviews saying that it further refined this group's ability to play hard rock underlined by a sweet, melodic base.
