Styx must have had a crystal ball.

those lyrics are semi-crappy

by that I mean, I've seen worse

DNRTFA, but laughed at the headline.

I'm KILLROY!

/not Ziggy, dammit!

Domo Arigato Mr SubbyBoto

I guess he really couldn't stop this feeling anymore.

dennis, you jealous douche.

I've always wanted to hear the lyrics of Mr. Roboto recited by Werner Herzog.

I don't know who is the bigger douche frontman, Dennis DeYoung or Billy Corgan

I love this thread SO MUCH.

I was kinda feeling like a man in the wilderness while reading that grand illusion of his in TFA, but he was a man of miracles once, and if he wants to take a midnight ride back to the grove of eglantine, then hey, everything is cool. Half-penny, two-penny and all that. But DDY, you're fooling yourself if you don't let it end. Haven't we been here before?

And now if you'll excuse me, Jennifer's gotta go put on her rock and roll shooz and look for some love in the midnight.

I'm pretty sure DDY just had that hair. Or did Corgan perm his once?

/Corgan's a douche
//DDY is just misguided and sad, really, someone to be pitied

bobby_fischer's_fork: I guess he really couldn't stop this feeling anymore.

Valiant effort, but you're wrong in two places. First it's "fight", not "stop". Second, that was REO Speedwagon - who admittedly are a lot LIKE Styx, but were actually still a band in 1985 when that came out.

I saw an interview once with Dennis, and after watching it, I had zero pity for him. Dennis basically took the credit for everything, discovering Tommy Shaw in a bowling alley, bragging about how the band's label would give the DJ's tons of coke to play their music, about how he fought with the band to become more theatrical.

Then he just seemed mad and bitter about the band moving on and reuniting without him. Also the way he talked about drummer John Panozzo was disheartening as well, like "Oh, he ended up being a washed up hobo so we don't bother with him anymore".

Ah Styx, my first concert. $6.50 general admission ticket. Concerts were fun back then.

I think I saw that interview too. "I was the soul of that band" or something. He's a tool, through and through - the only reason to pity him is really that he will never, ever understand that he's as reprehensible as he is.

But the Panozzo part ... I can't make that mesh with the rest of the timeline. They reunited without him in like 2000, and JP had been dead for like 4 years by then. Of course they weren't bothering with him at that point? I are confuse.

Sorry, I was trying to recall the interview. Dennis was talking about after they broke up, and Tommy went with Damn Yankees. John was washed up by that time. IRRC, they were talking about reuniting at that point and didn't even bother with John at that point because of his condition.

PainInTheASP: jj325: Too bad he wasn't able to foresee what a disaster "Kilroy Was Here" turned out to be. He could have spared us all

Or "Desert Moon"....

What he did to Hendrix's "Fire"on that album...words can't...

The answer is Noel Gallagher. Thank you for playing.

I dated a girl named Lorelei. She loved Styx. She farked like a Equinox machine. I miss the 80's.

Secret secret? He had a secret?

Valiant effort, but you're wrong in two places. First it's "fight", not "stop". Second, that was REO Speedwagon - who admittedly are a lot LIKE Styx, but were actually still a band in 1985 when that came out.

I think you've got your 80s music confused. "REO Speedwagon" was the big car-themed hit single off Prince's "1999" album. You're thinking of Air Supply, who did "Can't Fight This Feeling" on their "Breakfast In America" album.

I'm not going to lie, I have a soft spot for Dennis-era Styx, they played my high school once for like a five dollar ticket price. So did Cheap Trick, another time, before these bands became superstars, obviously.

I don't care if Dennis wants to claim he's prescient about the song "The Best Of Times" or anything in "Paradise Theatre". I've leaned on that song many a time when feeling like there was nowhere left to go and things were turning to shiat. It helped(s) me get thru the bad time and remember to appreciate the person that means something special to me, that we go thru these trials together, and we draw strength to continue, as partners, as man and wife. Ain't nothing wrong with a song that achieves all that. No sir.

I'm sure he's a supreme douche, but I tend to forgive him. Still, I wish I could play keyboards like him. And while I totally get that the rest of the band didn't like his theatrical direction, it's those unique creative choices, when well-executed, that distinguish one band among many and lead to pop/rock immortality. Look at Queen, for crying out loud; would they have been as big if they didn't push theatricality? I think with his rock-opera kick, Dennis was reaching for something intangible he couldn't quite realize in a practical way, but I admire his vision and creativity in the effort.

LittleSmitty: Ah Styx, my first concert. $6.50 general admission ticket. Concerts were fun back then.

Mine too. At the Minnesota State Fair in 1979 or 1980. I had never smelled burning marijuana before, and I remember thinking "man, these Styx fans smoke the nastiest smelling cigarettes."

Krieghund: Mr Roboto was my favorite song ever when I was 10.

I still have a soft spot for Styx.

My first rock album. My preferences will go to Don't Let it End (this way) and Get Through This Night

You're close, but the worst meme ever is the one where the guy from Jersey Shore says "I'm not saying it was aliens... but it's aliens" when referring to the reason Anne Frank went missing while flying around the world.

No, you're thinking about Chuck Yeager who broke the sound barrier as the first black beisbol player for the Dodgers.

You could not be more wrong. Jackie O was the album by The Cars that had "Shake It Up" on it -- you remember, it's the song that was playing when Jamie Gertz took her bikini top off in "Degrassi Junior High."
