The answer is yes. Do you agree? I don't care if you agree, I'm right.

Renegade is the best song ever. Come Sail Away is classic. Babe, Lorelei, and Too Much Time On My Hands are too.

Styx is a great American rock band, but is dismissed by critics because most critics are cynical *******s.

No, its not.

But it is pretty damn fun to listen to. Just finished the football season here at Texas State, and we (the marching band) played a Rolling Stones + Styx show called Styx and Stones (der). Not sure why we didn't play Come Sail Away, but marching Lorelei and Mr. Roboto is just:

Um......no.
The Eagles, Stones, Chicago, Kansas, Queen; all are better.
They're not even top 10 in my book.
But then again, each person's taste is different, so, it really depends on personal judgement.

I hope you really don't put Chicago up there. They are pop-rock for people that can't listen to anything better. They're not bad, but not tops. And Kansas needs a few more than 2 hits to be a top band, they are about on the level of Styx.

Eh, its not really that, its just that a lot of those bands had like 1 or 2 good songs, and alot of really bad stuff. And alot of them arent really that great musically comparitavely, but like I said, your list.

EDIT: However, thanks for reminding me to look at some of those old videos. I forgot how hilarious some of these old 70s and 80s music videos are.

I own like 23 albums.


I think they are the most underrated band ever. their spectacle and theatrics overshadow their amazing songs.

Their first album and Destroyer are two of the greatest albums ever.


Even 1992's Kiss Revenge was an amazing record.
