Screw it

Shaw had the better voice (IMHO). His voice shines when him and Ted did "Take me High Enough" with Damn Yankees


All those Styx songs were written and sung by the band's co-founder and former lead singer and keyboardist Dennis DeYoung. Styx still tours today but only includes two band members from their 1975 to 1983 golden era — guitarist-singers Tommy Shaw and James "JY" Young.

I wore out a couple of Equinox albums.

I learned to hate Stxy at an early age. In 1980, I was living in the barracks in Wildflicken Germany (The "Top of the Rock" battalion) and a FNG moved in to the room next to mine. He played the Grand Illusion album NONSTOP for the next year and since that day, if it was on the radio, it got turned. I even sacrificed MY copy along with the Peaches and Herb album on Disco Destruction day out in the field when we ran them over along with a BOOM BOX and a 40 of Old English, with a M113 APC while we smoked a chunk of "Choking Red" hash.

No such things as bad days, just bad moments

I ignored Styx, not my idea of rock music.

Then "Come Sail Away", from that Grand Illusion album hit the radio and I detested that song. Therefore I not only ignored Styx, I hated them.
