STYX

I read the panozzo autobio too, I'm not sure why. When I'm in a certain mood I'll read any rock book. Like sund4r I found it pretty fascinating

That video of half penny two penny up there is the first time I've seen JY singing lead.

Wonder if he ever got frustrated he couldn't do that more and what he thought once Metallica hit the scene.

I'm in O'Hare and "Mademoiselle" is playing over the PA. It sounds great and I appreciate the nod to a great Chicago act.

i had a dream last night that a new band sounded like styx and when the critics made fun of them for not aping the velvet underground / stooges / black sabbath / new york dolls / ramones / joy division instead, there was a mass boycott of rock journalism until the critics apologized

If I ever gave an "I have a dream" speech, this would be the dream, btw

my god is 'kilroy was here' awful on every possible level

embarrassed that my 11yo self bought this

Don't be...the things kids don't forgive themselves for!

My brother was a huge Styx fan because he liked "classical" rock.

I was more "punk" & thought Styx were massively uncool but sometimes I put the records on, even Paradise Theater because the records just sound nice and it's like an escape from myself.

I don't think the songs are great but I like Tommy Shaw's voice and JY's guitar.

Mr Roboto is so fun though! They took themselves less seriously by then.

Styx is so 11 year old kid in the burbs.

My favorite lately is "Lights" which they never play on classic rock radio.

Huh, I never heard that one before. It's pretty good.

"Come Sail Away" is kind of tricky on piano (for me). He varies the figuration of the chords every time he comes back to them, p much. I sort of feel like I can see his accordion background.
