I'm with Shell. I love the 70's and 80's stuff, and I especially like STYX. They are still terrific live. Really nice guys, and they love what they are doing. Can't ask for more than that.

I have the 2-CD set anthology released in 2004. There is not a single song on the compilation that I don't like! my favorite songs are:

Lorelei (1975?)
Grand Illusion (1977)
Fooling Yourself / The Angry Young Man (77) - I love the keyboard solos
Miss America (77)
Sing for the Day (78 )
Precious Lights (79) - my second most favorite
Babe (79) - sappy ballad, but really beautiful
Borrowed Time (79) - I call this the "Yes No" song. If ya heard it ya know what I mean. :lol:
Rockin' the Paradise (81)
Too Much Time on My Hands (81)
Mr. Roboto (83) - my most favorite of all - I like the robot voices that say "Domo!"
Love is the Ritual (90) - my third most favorite - this song really kicks!

In marching band last year, I played arrangements of Mr. Roboto, A.D. 1928/Rockin' the Paradise, Lorelei, and Come Sail Away. That was really fun 8)

...on the Kilroy was Here tour! (Just teasin' on the attitude.) That show was one of the best I've ever seen. I've seen them 2x since Dennis left (or was dismissed depending upon who you ask) and the new guy is just not the same (he's frequently flat in pitch). I wish I could see Dennis with the orchestra he's doing selected dates with these days.

It's so funny how I wasn't a believer then and the Heavy Metal Poisoning song made me so angry. Now it make me just as angry but because they are attacking believers.

Oh well!

www.dennisdeyoung.com is the site I think.
