    Goodness there’s new Styx again? I keep assuming they’re not going to make more and keep being wrong.

     

    yes and the song is AWESOME.  but swear musically it is very Dan like.

     

    which is as you know a band i'm THRILLED they pulled from, lol

     

    but it is random for them.   they have a full album coming don't know a date yet.

    Played the new Styx single it's great.  Musically it literally sounds like Katy Lied Era Steely Dan.  the keyboard riff and shuffle beat was just their song Black Friday.

    .38 Special-Wild Eyed Southern Boys (9/10)

    I'm really trying to think cause i was well versed coming here (not being funny i was) 

     

    But their at least 5  BIGGIE'S that spring forth at the moment

     

    Bruce Springsteen (to be fair this is a bit of an asterisk.  i knew and loved the first 5 albums.  Segue pushed me beyond)

     

    Porcupine Tree/Steven Wilson

    Mastodon

    Blue Oyster Cult

    Opeth

     

    oh and i have a wider appreciation for the Rolling Stones.  I have a hand full of Stones albums i love still not a huge mega fan but i get it more than i did.

    For me the biggest one was Mastodon. I listened to Remission and Leviathan many years ago and wrote them off as not my style, then after I relayed that opinion 2-3 years ago, Mick convinced me to try Crack the Skye and that just opened everything up for me.

     

    I still can't do the first two albums, really. But everything else has so much I enjoy.

     

     

    i don't like the first 2 albums either.  Segue could tell me how loved they are all his wants.  they aren't my style.....they annoy me.  i'm iffy on Blood Mountain as well. i can tolerate more but it still has elements of  the sound i don't like on it.   when they shed those more abrasive elements to me they got so much better.

     

    Glad you took to CTS......it's my fav.

    I’ve been playing iHeartRadio’s Yacht Rock (really just 70s and 80s soft rock in general) station on the TV at work every day for weeks. It’s a goldmine. I hear both of those artists on there all the time, as well as Boz Scaggs, Steely Dan, Little River Band, Doobie Brothers, Michael McDonald, Dan Fogelberg, Christopher Cross, Seals & Crofts, Orleans, England Dan And John Ford Coley, Fleetwood Mac, Eagles, George Benson, Robbie Dupree, Lionel Richie, Hall & Oates, Toto, Kenny Loggins, and Loggins And Messina. It makes work that much more tolerable haha

     

     

    I play that too.  that may be my fav genre/sub genre of music.  every song is like banger after banger.  and yes Poco is all there alll the time.  mostly songs from 1 album of their career but i love it.

    Poco-Legend (10/10)

     

    This album's an interesting case. by this point poco had lost most of it's core Members.  Richie Furay had left YEARS ago.  Timothy B Schmidt (bassist ) had left for the Eagles (which is WILD, lol) George Gratham (longtime Drummer) was let go.  Only Paul Cotton and Rusty young remain here.  This was gonna be released as a Cotton/young album BUT the label wanted a Poco album.

     

    'Surprise of surprises it became a sizable hit. with 2 hit singles in the US.  it really is a perfect pop album.  and my 2nd fav poco album.
