Throughout the month of February, 102.9 WMGK will count down the 20 greatest classic rock singers decided by our listener vote. 

We’ll dedicate daily blocks to one singer who’s made the list every weekday throughout the month.

MGK will celebrate Boston lead vocalist Brad Delp on Wednesday, Feb. 1.

Delp rose to fame as the lead singer of Boston.

Their self-titled debut album Boston blew up almost instantly after its release in 1976 with “More Than A Feeling” as its most popular track. Additional hits like “Peace of Mind” and “Let Me Take You Home Tonight” solidified the album and the band’s status as a Rock & Roll giant.

He passed away tragically in 2007 at the age of 55.

His work earned him the #20 spot on the list in 2023.
