Styx is a great rabbit hole to dive down! I think 4 guys from Chicago and 1 guy from Alabama! Where to begin! “Lady”, “Best of Times”, “Babe”, “The Grand Illusion”, “Crystal Ball”, “Long Nights (Blue Collar Man)”, “Show Me The Way”, “Rockin’ The Paradise”, “Too Much Time On My Hands”, “Lorelei”, “Renegade”, “Fooling Yourself (The Angry Young Man)” just to name a few!! Love what you ladies do and keep rockin!! 🤟🤟🤟
I was 11 when this song came out. So for 43 years I too have thought I heard whale sounds. Thanks girls for taking me back to when I first heard and immediately fell in love with this song.
Being in my early fifties, I recall this song when it came out in the mid Seventies. I listen to it and it takes me right back to that period with my friends and like it says, the dreams we had. Some of them have passed. Some have struggled and some have made good for themselves. Those lyrics REALLY hit home
Great song. It reminds me of Junior high school dances. I remember, we started out dancing slow and then sooner or later everyone began to rock out. Great memories. Keep up the good work and Rock on ladies rock on🤘🏻👍🏻🔥🎵😀
Styx is a great band. Check out Blue collar man, Too much time on my hands, Renegade, Miss America, Mr. roboto, Best of times, Babe, Lady, Rock'n the Paradise and more. A rabbit hole.
Welcome aboard, youngsters! Styx, is another great band from the 70's and 80's, my teenage years. Styx, has many great songs from some great albums. Styx, were blessed with two great lead singers.
Love your reactions, you two! And Mia, I love your transformation in just about a year and a half. You went from: "I'm really shy in front of the camera" To Singing freely in front of the camera. Lol! Rock on! Love ya, girls!
This is one of my favorite Styx songs. It goes through many changes and is so well constructed! I enjoyed your reaction (as I do all your reactions, but in particular, this one)! This song was a great choice for your introduction to Styx.
I saw Styx at the Iowa State Fair in August. They still got it! Tommy Shaw is in his early 70's and still sounds like he did, in his 20's. Phenomenal group. Please do more Styx! You won't regret
Great reaction! Styx is an amazing band. The song is so catchy, to see the two of you singing along is evidence of how addictive the chorus is! Loved it!
You girls are on a roll. "Come Sail Away" and "Carry On My Wayward Son" back to back. Both are great selections. Juliet, I'm sure the members of Styx would be very flattered that this song moved you so much. Some other great Styx songs include: "Lady" (their first hit) "Lorelei" "Rocking The Paradise" "Crystal Ball" "Suite Madame Blue" "Fooling Yourself" "Blue Collar Man" "Renegade" & others
@@danasfaith5738 You're very welcome girls. Keep those classic rock songs coming. You're both becoming such beautiful young girls right before our very eyes.
Please check out Renegade with Tommy Shaw singing. Both guitarists and the keyboardist take the lead singing on different songs. I grew up with Styx! Great band, lots of variety.
I have seen Styx LIVE 9 times and will keep going back as long as they tour (which has been for decades). They are even better LIVE. So much talent and energy for a bunch of old guys. This song never gets old. You should see the audience sing along LIVE. Check out some of their more recent stage performances. There is so much to explore.
This is progressive rock and it was huge in the late 70's. A lot of bands were doing this besides Styx, like Kansas, APP, Journey, ELO, ELP and others that don't immediately spring to mind. The sound of my youth.
You young ladies are joy to watch! Very insightful comment about the dolphins. The smiles on your faces demonstrated the joy you can feel from a well-written song!
Yeah that's always the problem when people request songs for those unfamiliar with the song. They often pick the shortened version, which in many cases destroys the whole vibe of the song.
I've heard this song hundreds of times, and it's still special.. Love the soulful beginning, mixing with the synth later on, and then the dynamic chorus.. lots of great guitar, synth, drumming action throughout... yes, a very special song indeed... It must really be special to hear for the first time.. I think you will enjoy for many years, moving forward... Thanks for the react.. G
Yes, I was blown away the first time I heard the song. It is indeed special. Maybe the only other songs from that era I would place in such rarified company might be Magic Man by Heart ❤️ and Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody. Styx Grand Illusion was an awesome concept album. So glad to see someone truly get this song and enjoy it so much. The song Lady by Styx has a beautiful piano as well so I think you would like that one also. Space Intro + Fly Like An Eagle by Steve Miller has some pretty synthesizer sounds like this too.
You two have a rare opportunity, first time hearing these bands. I often wish I'd never heard Rush so I could hear them for the first time {again} and be awed again like with Styx, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath and so many others. You both have a lot more great music to get to. Rock On!
Thank you Timithie! Mia and I agree, we are very lucky to be able to hear these incredible songs for the first time and share our first-time reactions with you!
Man I’ve seen this guy’s so many times! They where a great Chicago band! They where huge in the 70s early 80s! The band is not the same anymore since they lost their original drummer and one of their original guitarist, and then they got rid of their main frontman! Dennis DeYoung! After that shenanigan the band never regained their popularity again! Great reaction young ladies!👌😎👍♥️🙏
YEE GIRLS 😍 absolutely great job... Okay sweet little future madam president. Play that piano LoL. Queen Joliet you got me emotional watching you get emotional. Great singing by the way
Another song by Styx to check out is "Suite Madam Blue". It's very similar to this song, starting out slow then kicking into high gear. For pure hard rock from Styx, try "Miss America".
Mia, the piano you loved so much is courtesy of Dennis DeYoung! If you enjoyed that you should check out "Babe" and "Lady"! They also have about a zillion other tracks to check out!!!
Really a great song. First time I heard it it just caught my attention. I may be crazy (I've heard that before) but a REALLY good band called Styx played at my high school in Dallas in 1970 or 1971, the year before the group put out their first album. As a lot of people at my high school had a LOT of money, this could have been true but I am trying to check it out.
YES! I love it. You're listening to songs I've heard a thousand times for the first time and I feel like I'm listening to them for the first time through you. Cheers 🍻🥂
First time I heard this was at a Farming Frontiers meeting. It was an annual John Deere show dealers hosted in the winter. They used this song in a short snowmobile film. It was simply epic to my young self. It still has that affect on. It is just a great piece of music.
I suggest “Crystal Ball” for your next Styx reaction. Mia, maybe you can learn the piano 🎹 part on this. Lovely whale image. And as always I love your singing along! Thanks a lot, sisters!
The song is really about longing to be in a better place then where you are now. Thus the sad, melancholic beauty of the beginning and then the powerful soaring emotion STYX is known for that really can and does make you want to cry. My favorite band by far and I'm thrilled to see the two of you react to STYX. You certainly chose the perfect song to start with. I also recommend "Renegade", "The Best of Times", "Lady", "Show Me The Way" or "Crystal Ball" for your next reaction.
Mine too The Grand Illusion Tour, which I think was 79.....Was up in the nose bleed seats in an enclosed arena.. I sure had the munchies after that concert!!!
Hey Mia & Juliet, I am old enough to be your grandfather but I love music reaction videos and I think you guys are FANTASTIC!!! If I may, I have a list of other songs you may like to do that I have not seen many other channels do. I also suggest doing the studio versions of these, not live versions. Dragon Attack - Queen Like a Hurricane - Neil Young Jungleland - Bruce Springsteen Jane - Jefferson Starship Save Your Love - Jefferson Starship Ten Years Gone - Led Zeppelin Since I've Been Loving You - Led Zeppelin Green Grass and High Tides - The Outlaws Too Rollin' Stoned - Robin Trower Roundabout - Yes And You and I - Yes Siberian Khatru - Yes Just a few Thanks!!!!!
Thank you so much Matthew! Thank you as well for requesting the specific version of the songs, lol! They all look like great suggestions! I'll give your list to our dad! :)
Come Sail Away is actually Styx's Tour de Force song that everyone attending the concert wants this song played. If you listen real closely your will hear channel switching throughout the song.
This is such a great song by Styx and one of my favorite songs by them. Although I was never a huge fan of the band, they did have a unique sound and a few songs I do enjoy listening to. Great comments by the two of you once again. I enjoy watching both of you get into the music and feeling it as well. You never disappoint! I love it when you both sing! Love & Blessings! 💖
Very good. I was lucky enough to see Styx in London in 1983. They were completely on point. Every note. Unlike so many popular bands who get too loose with their songs in concert and really does not sound that great.
This is a band I suggest you look into more. The piano player started the band, and came up with the early, primarily love songs. The "younger" guitarist wanted the band to go more hard core with songs like "Renagade". They did one album about this old theater called " The Paradise" and their acted closed the theater. That whole album ties together like the Beatles "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band."
If you want to hear a different side to Styx, listen to "Renegade" or "Too much time on my hands". They are kind if like The Eagles in that they go back and firth in their music style because of the different musicians having different input on how a song will go. The unfortunate aspect if that is that they tend to have bad break ups. They want to go solo with their sound.

Hi Girls, I was in the backup band for Styx in the 70s when I was a wild teenager playing Keyboards to about 5000 people in memorial hall in Wisconsin

I was 11 when this song came out. So for 43 years I too have thought I heard whale sounds. Thanks girls for taking me back to when I first heard and immediately fell in love with this song.
I have heard this song thousands of times and never heard an orca in it...but now I am going to hear that every time.
Yup : )

Thank you for sharing your story with us Rene! It makes this song that much special!
This is a song you automatically crank the car radio to when you hear it.
I definitely agree with you all the way on this one!👋😎👍
Styx Come sail away is a song I will always remeber thanks Dana's Faith.
Great song. It reminds me of Junior high school dances. I remember, we started out dancing slow and then sooner or later everyone began to rock out. Great memories. Keep up the good work and Rock on ladies rock on🤘🏻👍🏻🔥🎵😀

No there was only ONE! And that was Dennis DeYoung! The other one doesn’t count! The band will never be the same without their original frontman!
STYX "SUITE MADAME BLUE" & "LADY"..BOTH TRUE CLASSICS.
Love your reactions, you two!
And Mia, I love your transformation in just about a year and a half. You went from:
"I'm really shy in front of the camera"
To
Singing freely in front of the camera.
Lol! Rock on! Love ya, girls!
LOL! Thank you so much!
@@danasfaith5738 You're very welcome!
Their BEST song EVER....👍👍👍👍

You girls are reacting to my teenage years of Styx. Thank you!
I saw Styx at the Iowa State Fair in August. They still got it! Tommy Shaw is in his early 70's and still sounds like he did, in his 20's. Phenomenal group. Please do more Styx! You won't regret
He's 67
I mean 68
There is nothing, nothing like an entire arena filled with Styx fans all singing this song together!!!!
Great reaction! Styx is an amazing band. The song is so catchy, to see the two of you singing along is evidence of how addictive the chorus is! Loved it!
You girls are on a roll. "Come Sail Away" and "Carry On My Wayward Son" back to back. Both are great selections.

This was my 1983 graduation song suggested by me and accepted by my class. Forever a special memory.
This is another song that you wouldn't regret watching them do it live! FABULOUS reaction girls!
You young ladies are joy to watch! Very insightful comment about the dolphins. The smiles on your faces demonstrated the joy you can feel from a well-written song!
I'm so glad you guy's reacted to the FULL version and not the silly "edited" one that's out there that cuts out the entire middle spacey part.
Yeah that's always the problem when people request songs for those unfamiliar with the song. They often pick the shortened version, which in many cases destroys the whole vibe of the song.
@@centuryrox I've watched a few CSA reaction vids and it breaks my heart to see them watching the edited version I cringe.
@@Chrisdrumz Yes you and I both cringe! So sad!

Thank you John!
That takes me back. Styx was my first favorite band when I was a kid. I made the same faces you did.
If you can find the pilot for the TV show Freaks and Geeks, this song is used at the end of the episode and it is a perfect scene…..
Saludos desde Argentina chicas. Son divinas.
Muchas gracias Matias! :)

Another great reaction ladies!!🌹🌹YEEEE!!
YEE!
Can garuntee.that you girls will absolutely love, love, love the song, "Babe", by Styx. ✌️❤️🌹
My favorite band of all time
Thx! You guys played the right one! Thx!
"This is our first time reacting to.." Greatest 7 words ever spoken. Dana's Faith Karaoke bomb! Wanted ta say 'Dope' but it's already been taken.
LOL! Thank you for always making us laugh Shawn!
Great reaction girls. My favorite group ever. The old Styx
a loss for words is tribute to the power of music and song!
This song was my Senior class graduation song in 1979
More Styx! You'll love it.
That's Dennis DeYoung on the synthesizer and piano. Also singing lead. James Young and Tommy Shaw share guitar solos.
Really a great song. First time I heard it it just caught my attention.

Muy buena cancion chicas me emocione abrazo desde Buenos Aires
Great vocals great keyboard overall great 🎵 🎶 🎵
I feel your sadness and your joy great great song! 🙏🏽✌🏽❤️
I saw Styx in Concert this last summer, that was my 44th time seeing them live.These guys Rock in Concert !
44th Time?! Wow! To go that many times, they must be INCREDIBLE on stage!
Styx is a great band to see in Concert. They still tour , you should go see them. I live in Oklahoma and they Come every year.
Excellent! Loved it. :)
Awesome video reaction! Hilarious ending of the video with how you two looked at each other!
LOL! Thank you!
Yes! I was in the navy when this came out so it was an anthem!
YES! I love it. You're listening to songs I've heard a thousand times for the first time and I feel like I'm listening to them for the first time through you. Cheers 🍻🥂
The more I listened to this song, the more I attached to it. I love it so much
First time I heard this was at a Farming Frontiers meeting. It was an annual John Deere show dealers hosted in the winter. They used this song in a short snowmobile film. It was simply epic to my young self. It still has that affect on. It is just a great piece of music.
Styx deserve to be in the Hall of fame
They're not?
If I remembered how I felt when I first heard this; I’d be glad to tell you; but that was a lifetime ago-and a half.
Best of times!! One of myStix's favorites!!
Yeah this song was pretty cool when it first hit the radio. Of course they played it to death, but now years later I can still hear it and smile.
The true power of Styx! LOL!
Styx, especially Dennis DeYoung are incredible!
Try Tommy Shaw "Blue Collar Man"(sing for the day). He sings with CYO and it is soooo good! The kids are freaking amazing!!!
Listen to this many times when I was young. Always loved it.
I suggest “Crystal Ball” for your next Styx reaction. Mia, maybe you can learn the piano 🎹 part on this. Lovely whale image. And as always I love your singing along! Thanks a lot, sisters!
Thank you Michael!

We can agree that this song was extremely powerful! Mia and I felt incredibly moved!
We can't help but sing to it once you know it and they have been great in concert!
Love Styx and so many great songs to react to!!
Dope 🎵🎵
They were my first concert back in 1978.
Mine too The Grand Illusion Tour, which I think was 79.....Was up in the nose bleed seats in an enclosed arena.. I sure had the munchies after that concert!!!
This song is truly one of Rock n roles greatest Classics. With the epic sounds and on point transitions, it really "Styx" in your head. :)
Thanks so much for doing Styx!!! I won't tell you what do next by them.. others will... this band is special... just climb aboard... and join us!!!
Hey Mia & Juliet,
I am old enough to be your grandfather but I love music reaction videos and I think you guys are FANTASTIC!!!
If I may, I have a list of other songs you may like to do that I have not seen many other channels do. I also suggest doing the studio versions of these, not live versions.
Dragon Attack - Queen
Like a Hurricane - Neil Young
Jungleland - Bruce Springsteen
Jane - Jefferson Starship
Save Your Love - Jefferson Starship
Ten Years Gone - Led Zeppelin
Since I've Been Loving You - Led Zeppelin
Green Grass and High Tides - The Outlaws

Thanks!!!!!
Thank you so much Matthew! Thank you as well for requesting the specific version of the songs, lol! They all look like great suggestions! I'll give your list to our dad! :)
writting down,
They played this song at my senior prom
Boys my Boy The guys are my all time favorite group and this is my All Time Favorite Song!!!!
I got to see them in concert three times!
Woohoo! Everyone is sharing their experience on how Styx is spectacular live! I'm glad you got to see them three times!
This was an awesome graduation song around the time.
The song was featured (to great effect!) in a Prom dance scene in the great TV-series "Freaks and geeks".
I was going to point that out. I can't separate the two from each other now (such a great show cancelled long before its time)
Come Sail Away is actually Styx's Tour de Force song that everyone attending the concert wants this song played. If you listen real closely your will hear channel switching throughout the song.
My favorite Styx song is "Blue Collar Man". This was very good too, and you did a great review.
If you want one of their best songs from that album listen to 'Castle Walls'. It's incredible!
When you realize you're not leaving with angels but extraterrestrials....
SUITE MADAM BLUE, SNOWBLIND, NOTHING EVER GOES AS PLANNED, BLUE COLLAR MAN, QUEEN OF SPADES, are some of their best songs.
This is such a great song by Styx and one of my favorite songs by them. Although I was never a huge fan of the band, they did have a unique sound and a few songs I do enjoy listening to. Great comments by the two of you once again. I enjoy watching both of you get into the music and feeling it as well. You never disappoint! I love it when you both sing! Love & Blessings! 💖
On a scale from 1 to 10 your show is a perfect 100 and climbing!
Thank you so much John! LOL! :)
I was lucky enough to get to see Dennis DeYoung (Styx) live on the "Grand Illusion" tour a few years ago. I have some footage of it on my channel.
Very good. I was lucky enough to see Styx in London in 1983. They were completely on point. Every note. Unlike so many popular bands who get too loose with their songs in concert and really does not sound that great.
@@watchmanonthewall14 that would've been something to see...! In their prime.
@@greaserman95 Exactly!
Great song love it
This is a band I suggest you look into more. The piano player started the band, and came up with the early, primarily love songs. The "younger" guitarist wanted the band to go more hard core with songs like "Renagade". They did one album about this old theater called " The Paradise" and their acted closed the theater. That whole album ties together like the Beatles "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band."
This song is AWESOME!
Cool reaction. I just had STYX vocalist Lawrence Gowan on my Podcast show. The band is still writing new music and touring :)
Thank you for playing the long version
PS. If you like this song, you must check out Eric Cartman’s, from South Park, cover. It is awesome.
LOL... doesn't he have some OCD thing were has ta keep singing it over and over if somebody starts it? Hilarious!
If you want to hear a different side to Styx, listen to "Renegade" or "Too much time on my hands". They are kind if like The Eagles in that they go back and firth in their music style because of the different musicians having different input on how a song will go. The unfortunate aspect if that is that they tend to have bad break ups. They want to go solo with their sound.
Heard this song as an early teen
Always loved them since the 70s Dennis deyoung's voice sounds kind of theatrical great band The synthesizers are awesome
I love this song and I really liked how you two were really into it at the end
