===''Greatest Hits'' and ''Corporate America'' (1997–2006)===
Boston released a compilation album in 1997, titled simply ''[[Greatest Hits (Boston album)|Boston: Greatest Hits]]''. The album featured all of the band's hit singles except "We're Ready", "Can'tcha Say (You Believe In Me)/Still In Love", and "I Need Your Love", but included three new songs, "Higher Power", "Tell Me", and an instrumental version of the "[[Star Spangled Banner]]". Smith and Sikes left the band in late 1997 and recorded an album together.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.bandboston.com/html/ds_html.html |title=Official Boston Website – David Sikes | website=bandboston.com | access-date=September 11, 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091217214436/http://www.bandboston.com/html/ds_html.html |archive-date=December 17, 2009 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

Scholz headed back to the studio in 1998 to begin work on a fifth album, which eventually turned out to be ''[[Corporate America (album)|Corporate America]]''. The title track of "Corporate America" was uploaded by Tom Scholz to [[MP3.com]] under the pseudonym of "Downer's Revenge" in early 2002 in order to test the album's appeal to a younger demographic.<ref name="yahoo">{{cite web |url=http://new.music.yahoo.com/boston/news/bostons-new-song-popular--just-not-under-the-bands-name--12056773 |date=September 18, 2002 |publisher=Yahoo! |last=Simon |first=Bruce |title=Boston's New Song Popular—Just Not Under The Band's Name |access-date=September 11, 2009}}</ref> The song reached No.&nbsp;2 on the progressive rock charts on the website for two weeks.<ref name="yahoo"/>

November 2002 marked the release of ''[[Corporate America (album)|Corporate America]]'' on the independent label Artemis Records.<ref>{{Cite magazine|title=Boston Attacks 'Corporate America'|url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/73328/boston-attacks-corporate-america|access-date=2021-04-24|magazine=Billboard|language=en}}</ref> This album featured the largest Boston lineup ever; returning members included Delp and Cosmo on rhythm guitar and lead vocals, Scholz on lead guitar and keyboards, and Gary Pihl on guitar, along with new members Anthony Cosmo on rhythm guitar, Jeff Neal on drums, and [[Kimberley Dahme]] on bass, acoustic guitar, and vocals. Dahme, Delp, and Cosmo all contributed lead vocals to the album. Due to lack of promotion on Artemis Records part, Tom Scholz sued Artemis. Artemis settled and subsequently went out of business but with that took that album with them. The album has been out of print for 20 years. The group embarked on a national tour in support of the album in 2003 and 2004.<ref name="bostonorghistory"/> In 2006, the first two Boston albums appeared in remastered form.
