Subject: WBCN Boston montage - can you ID all of these songs?
Written By: ChuckyG on 08/20/10 at 9:40 am
WBCN used to run this Boston montage with tons of old songs that used to mention Boston in them. I finally located a copy of it within the vast expanse of the final four day broadcast of the station and was hoping people might like to chip in and figure out which songs they used. I don't think anyone ever bothered to list them out anywhere, and I've never been able to ID some of them.

I solved these with some help from a former WBCN staffer
