Styx appreciation
ehra:
Throughout my 19 years of life there have been plenty of bands that I got really into at one point and now I either can't even remember them or I absolutely hate them. A few of them I'll still enjoy listening to, but they just won't wow me like they did when I first got into them. Strangely enough, however, Styx still manages to get that effect from me just as much as it did back when I was watching The Little Mermaid four times a day.
I decided to give Equinox a listen today just for shits and giggles, and Suite Madame Blue still kicks my ass as much as it did when I was 8. I think it's amazing how even a lot of Dio stuff sounds ridiculously dated to me, someone I have a huge amount of respect for as an artist, yet Styx, a band that I really haven't given much attention for the past five or so years, still sounds as great as I remember them sounding.
So I figured I'd make an appreciation thread. This may also double as a Damn Yankees appreciation thread if you want, because they're awesome and I say so.

*appreciates* I've seen them 3 times and they have wowed me each time. Tommy Shaw is my dude.

Been a fan of Styx for over 20 years, and still love 'em. They are one of those bands I burned out on a long time ago from listening to them so much, but I still go through phases where I listen to them a lot.
And hell yeah to Damn Yankees! Both cds are good, especially the second one, which rocks pretty hard. "The Silence Is Broken" is just a killer tune. :coolio

First saw Styx in 1982(Kilroy tour). I've seen then 4 times since. Can't say enough of the music, songsmenship & harmonies. I wish they do a new album with this line up they have now. BTW, I saw Tommy Shaw solo in 1983-84? backing up The Kinks
