Space, I want you to know I've never communed with you more deeply than in this thread

Styx fucking slays

No one, and I mean NO ONE, has ever made music better than:

- The intro to "Renegade."
- The first few seconds after the music kicks in after the intro to "Renegade"
- The bridge to "Renegade"
- The synth intro to "Ms. America"
- The main riff of "Ms. America"
- The solo in "Ms. America"
- Pretty much everything in "Lorelai," "Lady," and "Come Sail Away"
- Three words: CRYSTAL. FUCKING. BALL.
- TELL ME TELL ME
- WHERE I'M GOING
- I DON'T KNOW WHERE I'VE BEEN
- MY HEART IS ACHING
- AND MY BODY'S BREAKING
- AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO GO
- IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII'VE JUST GOT TO KNO-O-O-OW
- CRYSTAL...
- BAAAAAAA-AAAAAAAAALL
- The intro to "Too Much Time On My Hands"
- Any synth parts in "Too Much Time On My Hands"

Once when I was 12 I went to get a haircut from my mom's friend Woody. Woody was an elderly gay man who was the bee's fucking knees. He was one of the first adults other than my parents that I remember thinking, "This guy's pretty fucking cool." In retrospect, the fact that he had a roommate in old age, lived up four flights of stairs, and cut hair out of an apartment does NOTHING to tarnish this image. His roommate Jack was also cool and kept a stack of Hustlers under the television that my brothers and I fell on with wild abandon until my mom caught us looking at the glossy full-colour images of vaginas and made us put them back. To console us Jack took us over to his formidable late-'70s hi-fi system and vinyl collection. "Check this out, man," he said, and held up a vinyl copy of The Grand Illusion. He took the record out of the sleeve with an ear-to-ear smile. The sun shone through it onto my face. "Translucent yellow vinyl, dudes." He put on Side B and moved his hands throughout the synth intro to "Ms. America" as though he was conducting it. I was completely torn apart by this. I didn't even know how to react. I cut my hair, I looked at porn, I listened to Styx on yellow translucent vinyl. I like to think it was the day I became a man.

Woody was an elderly gay man

The three of us are now in a queercore band with this name.

Do you guys have a minute to talk about how badass STYX was?

no, no I don't. but Case is making up for my disinterest so it all works out in the end

[pd~]

Styx legitimately isn't even bad.

[popvulture]

Dude. Worst.

I would rather listen to KISS than Styx, and that's saying a whole, whole lot. I also quite enjoy a multitude of total buttrock 70s bands, but I just can't deal with those guys. Renegade and Fooling Yourself in particular make me want to carve out my ears with grapefruit spoons.

I am, however, truly fascinated by Candy's apparently deep, deep devotion to Styx. 0_o

[futuresailors]

I came for the Styx appreciation and stayed for the lulz.

Also, Kiss suck ass. I can't even think of something I wouldn't pick listening to over Kiss.

Saying I'd rather listen to KISS than Styx is the only real way to define my hatred

[futuresailors]

Yeah, you got me on that one.

[SPACERITUAL]

I believe aerosmith to be far worse than kiss, and in fact to be the worst band in the entire world.
