STYX lead singer


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.

Lawrence Gowan was also a front man for Styx.

I played The Grand Illusion and Pieces of Eight more than any other of the Styx albums.

Nando.
 
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.

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.
 
Carrie Newcomer's Geography of Light on the reconfigured digital side of the system. Booked her for my opening show the last weekend of October this fall. Sort of mystical singer/songwriter from Wisconsin or Minnesota, I can't remember which. The Dean likes her and, with two of her CDs in my collection, I didn't put up a fight. She's really good in that quiet, unpretentious mid-western way.

Apple got the best of me on the laptop I have at work; had to step up to OS 11-something, which forced me to pull out the iMac to play the digital files. Yet another screen to clutter up the office.

A lifelong friend, fellow college-age DJ, best man at our wedding, heir to the Bobby Jones golf name, and no-nonsense pschycologist in Atlanta, came up to visit before I went in for surgery and about fell over when he saw the dbx box. Always nice to have someone besides yourself who knows what's going on.
