RUSHHEAD666 Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Obviously the original line up of STYX on the A&M releases are the best. I believe Tommy was not on the "Equinox" record which rules. But Tommy was hired for the "Crystal Ball" album and the band never looked back. Without Tommy Styx would have become STYNX in my opinion. Probably why Dennis split. He want to take the band to Pop City and Tommy wanted to fuckking ROCK! I love the current line up minus GOWAN. Although I saw STYX last year in Stockton and for the first time I was very impressed! I'm a Shaw, Young and Todd Sucherman guy. Love those guys. I confess I do see STYX once a year. Looking forward to seeing and hearing "Leftoverture" all they through later on this year too! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crystal Ball is a masterpiece. Few opening tracks have ever topped Put Me On. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluefox4000 Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 http://youtu.be/TuFkavneS60 SUCH A GREAT SONG FROM AN ALBUM I TRULY LOVE!Me too. :) That song seemed okay at first, but it hasn't held up for me. As for the rest of Drastic Measures, I hated it back then, and still do. No Robbie on violin and vocals, and too much of the Elefante brothers' influence. It's just not a Kansas album for me. As for the other album with Elefante, I like about half of Vinyl Confessions (the Kerry songs), and the other half I skip over. yea......i really don't like 80's Kansas in general.

Lorraine Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Useless for me to do a search, so I am relying on your memories. Does anyone here recall if we ever had a Boston vs. Kansas vs. Foreigner poll? Those three bands are a lot alike (at least to me they are) and I was wondering which one would do the best in a poll.

Yeah, JY's vocals are hit or miss, but I find they hit the mark on Put Me On. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluefox4000 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 i still go Kansas......BUT honestly i think i like the Grand illusion more than any Kansas album. i play it far more than Kansas. Mick 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick I probably play the first two Styx albums more than any of the others. I dunno...I am very drawn to their quirky Wooden Nickel era 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wil1972 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Kansas easy. The first 5 is enough to throw styx out the window for me. MickYou obviously haven't heard this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBi61pgDUP8 Doug Henning on lead vocals, ladies and gents. Amazing Henning could split time between Styx and drumming for Rush back then. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wil1972 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 I voted Kansas for their run through Know Return although Equinox, Grand Illusion and Pieces of Eight are killer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cat 3 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 I've said this before, but I've always thought that Dennis DeYoung reminds me of what would happen if Liberace joined a rock band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cat 3 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Styx, for me, has always been about two albums, and two great albums at that, "The Grand Illusion" and "Pieces of Eight". A different Styx altogether but I'd proudly add "The Mission" to that list. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
