OT: My favorite Styx Songs ranked

[MtNittany]

Sort of. Pretty good songs for a band that has never even been nominated for the rrhof one would think. Where am I off? I want to put 2 and 3 both above 1, but I just can't.

Come Sail Away
Renegade
Crystal Ball
Fooling Yourself
Suite Madame Blue
Blue Collar Man
Miss America
Man in the Wilderness
Snowblind
Rocking the Paradise

"Retrieved for a Bounty" sort of screams Philly and Buddy Ryan to me though.

Plexiglass Toilet on Serpent Is Rising is my number one (also might be #2 as well). ;-)

Suite Madame Blue
Blue Collar Man
Miss America

I would add Lady, Pieces of Eight, Grand Illusion, Fooling Yourself, Lorelei and Boat on the River. I would remove Come Sail Away completely, God I hate that song. Best Albums: Grand Illusion and Equinox

 

[MtNittany]

Agree w/ Lorelei. Oversight. Strike Miss America I guess. My problem w/ Lady is that The Little River Band and Kenny Rogers both have better Ladies.

Interesting tidbit is how three bands from the same era had a singular band member change and had a profound improvement to their music and chart success.

Styx swaps guitarists to move on from John Curelewski to Tommy Shaw. Journey needed a lead singer, period, since Greg Rollie was backup level (and a three month trial with Robert Fleishman was a complete bust) and they found Steve Perry on a demo tape. And John Rusty as a drummer was simply limited with Rush and health issues forced a change to Neal Peart.

My thoughts exactly! Babe was the power ballad played in every PA high school gym for dances. Still brings back hazy warm memories of the dances every time I hear Babe being played.

Grand Valley State University in Michigan used Come Sail Away for a lipdub that involved a lot of their campus which was pretty cool to see something that took a lot of cooperation and planning to come together and pull it off. Grand Valley State University's nickname is the Lakers.

Brian Kelly coached at Grand Valley State University from 1991 to 2003. During his tenure, he compiled a 118-35-2 record, which included five conference championship titles and two NCAA Division II Football Championships in 2002 and 2003.

Crystal Ball is my #1 and Renegade #2

after that there’s just a bunch of songs I like

 

[Nittering Nabob]

Styx represented the end of true R&R and a morphage into techno-pop.

Pieces of Eight (the song not the album) is a really good song. Much respect. I played the grooves off of that vinyl.

I understand people love Renegade. Always hated song.

Light Up and Sweet Madam Blue are my faves.
