As the home of countless concert venues + famous bands like Dropkick Murphys, it's safe to say that Boston has a pretty rockin' music scene. We decided to turn the volume up and make a collaborative playlist for locals, by locals.

In this playlist, you will be able to add your own go-to tracks. We’ve added a few of our favorite Boston-themed tunes to help you get started:
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/42b4NUtZje4aUVrRGKqi5V?si=afe9ea67a1514ad4
🎵 "M.T.A" by The Kingston Trio — Listen to the musical tale of a man named Charlie trapped on our city's subway system (called the Metropolitan Transit Authority when the song dropped in 1949).

🎵 "Dirty Water" by The Standells | The 1965 single paid homage to the infamously polluted Charles River. By the way, that dirty water is much cleaner now.

🎵 "Boston" by Augustana | This one's for anyone who came to our city for a fresh start.

🎵 "Roadrunner" by The Modern Lovers | This love song to Massachusetts mentions Stop 'n' Shop and Route 128 + inspired the name of Brighton's concert venue.

🎵 "Rock & Roll Band" by Boston | We're big fans of this hit from "just another band out of Boston."

Shout out to our readers for providing some amazing song recommendations, including:

"Massachusetts" by the BeeGees — Brendan S.
"Boston" by Kenny Chesney — Holly H.
"The Wellerman" by Nathan Evans — Jan M.

Plus, we couldn't resist adding some of the low-hanging fruit. We're looking at you, "Shipping Up to Boston" and "Sweet Caroline."

Now it’s your turn. Create a free Spotify account(if you haven’t already), open the collaborative playlist, add the playlist to your library, and add songs that make you think of Boston.
