    I've been a huge Styx fan since 1977. They have such a wide variety of song and music styles, and with 3 lead singers/songwriters(in each lineup) it multiplies that.
    I really enjoyed your reaction to Boston's first album, and I agree with an earlier commenter that the album "THE GRAND ILLUSION" is worth listening/reacting to start to finish. Back in 1977 that's what we did for Album Oriented Rock. The last song (except the summary track) on The Grand Illusion album is a deep track but one of many fans favorites, "CASTLE WALLS" (as you can tell by my handle I think it's great).
    Styx has such a deep catalog from hits to deep cut great songs - here are my suggestions for you to start with:
    "Prelude 12/Suite: Madame Blue" - Dennis DeYoung, John Curulewski.
    "Fooling Yourself" - Tommy Shaw.
    "Come Sail Away" (Album version or live from 1996's Return To Paradise tour - NOT the Official Video which is short for MTV) - Dennis.
    "Blue Collar Man" - Tommy.
    "CASTLE WALLS" - Dennis.
    "Man In The Wilderness" - Tommy.
    "Queen Of Spades" - Dennis.
    "Lady" - Dennis.
    "Snowblind" - James "JY" Young and Tommy.
    "Crystal Ball" - Tommy.
    "A Day" - John Curulewski.
    "Born For Adventure" - Dennis.
    "Young Man" - JY.
    "Pieces Of Eight" - Dennis.
    "Lorelei" - JY and Dennis.

    This band is a wild ride, Silas. Prepare yourself if you dive deeper! Don't just stick to the commercial hits either...they have plenty of material which is at least as good as their "greatest hits".
    That being said, this IS one of their greatest commercial releases that charted.

  • @VidiotSavante
    @VidiotSavante Před rokem +12

    Glad you discovered Styx, Silas! They put out some amazing tracks! 😎 Tommy Shaw (guitarist) sang lead on "Renegade" and I think you'll enjoy "Blue Collar Man (Long Nights)" from the same album, also featuring Tommy on lead vocals. Then check out "I'm O.K.", "The Grand Illusion" and "Come Sail Away" featuring and Dennis DeYoung (keyboards) singing lead.

  • @wompa70

    Many a speeding ticket has been issued while this song played. Styx had so many member and they all wrote songs of different styles. Check out “Blue Collar Man (Long Nights)” from the same album. Then check out the album "The Grand Illusion" as others have said. Styx is an incredible band with a huge catalog.

    • @stevedahlberg8680
      @stevedahlberg8680 Před rokem +2

      I would say the three biggest hits were Come Sail Away, Lady, Lorelei or whatever that song is called, and this one. I like a lot of their other stuff though, and Suite Madam Blue was a favorite of mine in junior high.

  • @chrisbricky7331
    @chrisbricky7331 Před rokem +25

    Great reaction and thanks for sharing. Styx had three lead singers. Tommy Shaw (this song), Dennis DeYoung and James Young. Tommy and James sing rockers and Dennis sings the ballads and pop songs. They have decades worth of music all worth checking out. This band is worth giving the Boston Treatment, meaning start with their early music and work your way forward. Lady was their first single and it was released independently and without a record company pushed by local radio dj's. Enjoy the ride. Chris

      Dennis wrote and sang plenty of "Rockers" too. VH-1's "Behind The Music" did a grave disservice to Styx and perpetuated this unfortunate myth. Dennis is the one that turned "Renegade" from a slow, brooding, bluesy song (when Tommy first presented it to the band) into one of their best "Rockers", not Tommy, not JY.

    • @chrisbricky7331
      @chrisbricky7331 Před rokem

      Not knocking Dennis, but personally I prefer the songs Tommy wrote and sung. Its still ice cream. Chocolate or Vanilla are an opinion, neither is wrong or right. :) I have seen Styx every decade since the 70's with pretty much every line up except the original one. Great band. But once again, I prefer the Tommy songs. :) Chris

      Actually, their first 4 albums were released by Wooden Nickel Records which was founded in 1971. In 2005 they released "The Complete Wooden Nickel Recordings", a 2 CD set that included Styx, Styx II, The Serpent Is Rising, and Man Of Miracles. Lady is on Styx II. Great deep cuts on all 4 albums, but The Serpent Is Rising is my all time favorite!

    One of Styx's strengths is their variety and musical depth. They have 3 guys that can sing lead vocals, and 2 guys who can play lead guitar. The third vocalist plays keyboards, and then the Panozzo brothers are the rhythm section (drums and bass). They have some great ballads ("Lady" would be my first choice). Hit some of Grand Illusion next - great album, though this album is nearly tied for their best.

    Check out the entire ''Equinox'' album. Killer cool...

    We had the most amazing music in the 70s. Unlike today where most bands all try to sound the same, back then originality and artistry were the rule rather than the exception. They also reportedly introduced the rock power ballad with the following song.
    The sound is a bit tinny, it’s from ‘78.

    Nice Choice - This one and The Grand Illusion are on my side-to-side list of LP's from back-in-the-day! I also LOVE parts of Cornerstone & Paradise Theatre. Not too much on Kilroy.
