I listened to my first Styx song today. My review to follow

Velvet paintings with a hint of neon leg warmers.

1. fuck the haters, I liked Styx

[Forkboy]

2. I actually saw them in a place called the Paradise Theatre.

It was one of the first half dozen shows I ever saw. Boston, '78 or '79. Fucking Renegade motherfuckers!

11. I saw them in 1977 with Peter Frampton, The Steve Miller Band and Rick Derringer..

It was at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City and it was the MOST amazing concert.

[Forkboy]

15. I honestly can't remember who they played with.

I would have remembered Frampton, but the SMB and Derringer were right on that cusp of bands I was into for my age (born in '67). Part of me wants to say it was Supertramp, but that's a wild guess. :)

3. Me too.

To hell with the brain-damaged sycophants who can't pick good music out of a police lineup. (Now where the hell did THAT one come from???)

Styx rox.

4. Didnt say I hate it

That was just a review. The velvet painting isn't so much my thing, but I feel very at home with neon leg warmers.

[Skittles]

10. aw I know

just, er, anticipating the haters......I thought Styx was very talented but they get a lot of grief :D

[Alexander]

5. Styx rules! That band's almost as good as Rush!

[Arugula Latte]

6. Styx makes me want to plunge ice picks into my eardrums.

LAAAAAAAAAY-DEEE! When you're with me I'm smiiiiiiiling ....


:puke:

[Aristus]

7. If everybody in the world hated Styx, I'd still love "Babe". A lovely song,

that makes warm memories for me, and includes the best use of the electric piano in all of music.

[Fumesucker]

8. Nope, The Doors' Rider on the Storm is the best use of the electric piano..

Although a Rhodes isn't exactly an electric piano.. The sound is actually produced acoustically.

[Aristus]

9. Can't argue with that. I'm actually a bigger fan of The Doors than of Styx.

I'm too young for "ROTS" to create nostalgia for me, though, whereas "Babe reminds me of an important and pivotal time in my life...

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

12. Babe I'm leaving this thread. I must be on my way.

:yoiks:

[madrchsod]

13. 70`-80`s chicago pop groups sucked....really sucked

[Sebastian Doyle]

14. I liked Styx back in the 70's

The whole Mr. Roboto thing pretty much killed it though. As did Tommy Shaw being in a band with that piece of shit Nugent, and then "reforming" Styx with a bunch of guys he found in the Labor Ready parking lot. They're a complete joke now, just like "Journey" and "Foreigner". You couldn't find enough original band members in all three of those groups combined to form one real band.
