Great rock band from the 70's-80's. They had so many great songs such as "Lorelei", "Suite Madame Blue", "Lady", "Renegade", "Blue Collar Man (Long Nights)", "Babe", "The Best Of Times", "Mr. Roboto", "Too Much Time On My Hands", "Show Me The Way", "Don't Let It End", "Why Me", "Borrowed Time", "Rockin' The Paradise" etc.
Babe and Lady are ballads...Suite Madam Blue dramatic like this. 'Blue Collar Man', 'Renegade' more rocking.
You can't omit one of their top songs.. 'Fooling Yourself' from The Grand Illusion. T
@@TerryKrysinski but you CAN omit "Mr. Roboto" lol
Crystal Ball!!
Don't forget Light Up !
Hearing live 20, 000 people sing "come sail away" ⛵️, priceless
Hey, if your mom suggested Styx, your mom is COOL! 🙂 My wife and I saw them live as well in Oregon.
I think the same about your mother. I was also lucky to see them live in the Pittsburgh show, PA (1979) high school times when I was in the United States as an exchange student. I am from Argentina and I would like to react to "Fooling Yourself" (The Angry Young Man) of the great Tommy Shaw
Styx was so underrated. Many great hits.
They were not underrated at all. 4 consecutive multi-platinum albums for a start. Look up what underrated means.
Underrated? No, people that know music, know Styx
@@MarkCucchiara Underrated in that many people still don't consider them a top band and the fact that they are still not in the Rock and Roll HOF. They are a great band that is underrated.
For how damn great they were, yes, they are STILL underrated. @@MarkCucchiara
Born in 1960 spent my entire teenage years in the 70s and looking back I feel it was the best decade to be a teenager
1965 for me, the music absolutely peaked when I entered my teens. Boy were we spoiled 😊
1958 for me. Same feeling
Suite Madam Blue !!!
Coming next week!
I first heard Styx when I was 14 years old in 1974. It was their first hit - "Lady" played on the radio (WLS Chicago). I saved my allowance and bought the album Styx II which happened to be my second full album (My first was Pink Floyd's "Dark Side Of The Moon"). I was transitioning from 45's to albums at that point. There are some absolute gems on this LP. "You Need Love" is a great Classic Rock tune as well as "You Better Ask" and "A Day" is Classic Rock mellow song with an upbeat mid section then slows back down, beautiful tune. And pretty much everything else they've released has been great. I'm a huge fan and have been since I first heard their music, I still listen to it even now to this day. I am now 63 and as many my age have said, it makes me happy that today's generation is enjoying this music as much as we did when it first came out. Thank You for the reaction.
Styx were big in the 70's and 80's. My wife saw Styx at her High School before they hit it big. The number of great songs by Styx is long.
Some songs I'd recommend - Renegade, Babe, The Best of Times, Suite Madame Blue, Lady, Blue Collar Man, Crystal Ball, The Grand Illusion, Pieces of Eight, Miss America, Queen of Spades, Castle Walls, Fooling Yourself
Love Styx. Too many to choose from, but try 'The Renegade'.
No "The".
Seen Styx live twice, unfortunately without Dennis Deyoung, but the new singer is good and the band is still awesome. If you haven't heard it yet, listen to their song Crystal Ball, it's a Styx song but it's performed by guitarist Tommy Shaw, and his voice is incredible. Very popular song.
Music from the 70's & 80's was just on another level. Glad that I was able to experience it real time. Rock died in the early 90's. Lastly, Styx was best live.
Rock died when Bonham died. All poor copies thereafter...
This is a lighter tune, but they had some great albums.
so true amazing live!
You got that right. I saw them in the mid 90's, so I went and got their greatest hits, and I was disappointed, they did sound so much better live
Studio Styx is always best.
So many great Styx songs. Renegade is a banger!
Dennis DeYoung, he talked about the meaning behind this song. "'Come Sail Away' is a song about yearning to be in a better place," he said. "How do you get there? You go on a boat, on a ship, angels waving their wings as you ascend to heaven with them. Is there something going on? A starship to the stars? Are they aliens? Is it Captain Kirk?
One of the best rock songs ever written about alien abduction.
Phil also nailed what was a trend in the 70's of a three-tier song. Following in the footsteps of Stairway to Heaven. Beginning with vocals, then adding in a few instruments and the final third with everyone all in including a brass section. And when most songs were wrapping up around three minutes, this one was just getting started. Styx had a lot of early songs that allowed for a closeness on the dance floor.
This one starts that way, but by the time it ends, the dance floor resembled more of a Nirvania mosh. (not quite)
Singer/keyboards Dennis DeYoung wrote this song, supposedly from his youthful days of watching sailboats from the shore in Chicago. Dreaming of being in a better place.
Nice choice on video, as the official video drops the close to two minute futuristic instrumental.
🙌
"Best of Times", "Lady", "Babe" are awesome and a must. Many more great ones.
Love Styx saw then in concern twice...they have a lot of great songs; Renagade, Too Much Time on my Hands, Crystal Ball, Lady, Mr. Roboto, The Best of Times, Babe, Suite Madam Blue, Blue Collar Man, Miss America...to say the least.
This is my favorite song of all time from my favorite band. Tommy, JY, Lawrence, Todd etc... it does not get any better! and they are magnificent even today!
Loved Styx. I, too, saw them at my high school in Illinois😊. Many great songs..Renegade, Too Much Time on My Hands just to mention a few. Thanks for playing this one❣️
Glad you enjoyed as much as we did!
They played Downers Grove South....
Probably their most popular rock song is Renegade. They do have great variety popular music, complex rock songs & rock ballads.
Renegade it’s one of there best songs. This is one of there best rock songs.
You absolutely need to check out their song "Renegade"!
I am glad you both enjoyed this. I am hoping you try a lot more of them. Renegade, Blue Collar Man, Grand Illusion, Lady, and Babe, are all fantastic, but many of the other songs mentioned in the comments are also amazing. 2 amazing singers as well. Just awesome.
Styx actually has three lead singers. Dennis DeYoung sings this song, and his style is more keyboard driven and melodic. Tommy Shaw sings the more pure rock and roll sounding songs. And James Young (JY) sings the heavy stuff. Styx has a very diverse catalog due to their three leads.
Guys I was 17 and now 62 when I saw them..and I saw so many bands but this was the concert you took your girl Friend and it was one of the best shows I ever saw These guys were Pros.
I went to college with these guys and watched them get better and better from they used to be TW4 to Styx.
My daughter is about the same age as you guys. Styx was her first concert because I wanted to make sure she was raised with the right kind of music.
This was the Theme Song for my High School Prom 😊
GOTTA DO studio versions of Suite Madame Blue and original version of Lady !!!
You’ll need to hear quite a few tracks from Styx before you can really “get” their sound. They are unquestionably the most musically diverse band you’ll ever hear, largely because they have 3 songwriters and 3 lead singers with distinctly different musical backgrounds. Because of that, Styx has something for everybody. Prog, hard rock, pop, ballads, folk and techno.
I highly recommend Renegade, A.D. 1928/Rockin’ the Paradise, Blue Collar Man, Castle Walls, Too Much Time On My Hands, Crystal Ball, Miss America…I could go on and on! Truly one of the world’s greatest rock bands. Great vocals, soaring harmonies, brilliant instrumentalists. Enjoy!
Styx-Lady
My personal favorite Styx song ever is "Crystal Ball". But their song "Renegade" was literally the song that made me start listening to rock as a teenager, and the album it was on ("Pieces of Eight") was the first album I every bought.
I heard that live 8 ft from the stage and it was insxanely loud in the late 70s , you know maaan ,,, ... Lorelei is a great rock song from their latter pre fame era , LADY , Miss America , IM OK , just good great wild crazy you cant handle it Styx songs.....
Hi Phil & Sam, Wen I was 17, back in the 1970s, I was in a backup band that opened for them with a crowd of about 5000+ it was an Amazing Gig👍
…….released 1977 off the album “The Grand Illusion” still going strong…..saw them over the summer at Hampton Beach Casino N.H. James Young & Tommy Shaw still rocking ! 🔥🔥🔥
Fooling yourself,
Grand allusion,
Are excellent representations of this incredible band!
Just scratching the surface here.....
Can't wait to see you do Yes.
Grand Illusion and Blue Collar Man 2 great representations of Their music.
Now these guys were an AMAZING band (they still tour, I saw them last year for the 4th time in my life). There were kind of two factions in this band - you just heard Dennis DeYoung sing on this and he was the sort of musical theater minded singer/songwriter vs the more hard rock styles of guitarists/vocalists Tommy Shaw and James Young. The tensions were intense and they ultimately broke up (Dennis left and Tommy/James replaced him and swear they would never work with him again). But although they couldn’t get along that tension dynamic and the unbelievable musicianship of all 3 made for some INCREDIBLE classic songs. To hear Tommy on lead vocals you have got to check out Renegade which is an all time classic rock timeless masterpiece. You’re going to get a lot of song recommendations for this band and they will all be good. Yes, even Mr. Roboto is good despite what some may say. Is it 80’s cheesy? Yes, I was there when it came out. And although I don’t think Tommy and James liked it I know I did. And still do! Check out more from these guys - you will NOT be disappointed.
Renegade is my favorite Styx song, if you haven’t heard it I’m sure you’ll love it
That is my favvorite song all time since i was kid!!!!
Suite Madame Blue ... is so very relevant. If you react, pay attention to the lyrics. In some regards, the music breakdown is similar to Stairway to Heaven ... the breakdown in progression. It's my favorite Styx song, and there are so many great songs.
Grand illusion tour, around 1980...plz listen to more Styx! You won't regret it!
So, as a kid, the first music I ever bought with my own money were 2 albums - Billy Joel's Glass Houses and Styx Paradise Theatre. I have actually travelled to Chicago to see both Billy and Styx and they were both AMAZING. Thank you for the reaction. I'm glad to see you starting your Styx journey and this is a great entry point. You mentioned the change in sound and that was directly linked to Dennis DeYoung. The relevant question with a Styx review is whether DeYoung is there or not. This was DeYoung.
Suite Madame Blue is my favorite. The Grand Illusion has my favorite STYX guitar solos and LADY is the all time Classic STYX!! First Time here, GREAT STUFF!! Peace 🕊️☮️♾️😎
I saw them live. What a performance!
Kudos to mom. First concert I went to was the Grand Illusion tour. Changed my life and took me on a journey which still rocks on. Thanks for the memories.
So many great songs from Styx. Jump down the rabbit hole
Blue Collar Man is a banger. They also have Lady. Dennis DeYoung, Tommy Shaw and James JY Young are the three up front.
Styx Blue Caller Man
"Castle Walls" and "Queen of Spades" are my 2 personal favorites.
Phil, one of the best things about progressive rock is that most progressive rock songs have multiple meanings simultaneously. With this song you have both the actual epic storyline and exactly what you and Sam got out of the song. You definitely hit the nail right on the head when it came to the actual meaning of the song. One of my favorites when it comes to the dual-messages is Witch Hunt by Rush.
My favorite Styx tune, thanks for putting it on your channel 😊
You guys are going to LOVE your journey up the River Styx.
We seen Syyx before they were famous at Moraine Valley Junior College outside of Chicago. They played the theme to the Lone Ranger under strobe lights! I'll never forget how good they sounded!
STYX RULEZ AMAZING GROUP ❤❤
I seen they guys twice and got frisbeed with Tommy's pic in 2014 - Now framed of Couse with a ticket from the show and the CD they currently had out at the time.
My daughter introduced me to Styx with their Paradise Theater album. Wonderful! I recommend it to you.
The first band I saw live that faithfully reproduced their studio sound on stage, with the harmony vocals.
Styx are awesome. Love this song. Love your reactions!
No one seems to mention the song, too much time on my hands! I remember taping that one off the radio onto my cassette!! 🤣
From their Grand Illusion album, “Man In the Wilderness”, “Miss America”, “Fooling Yourself (The Angry Young Man)”, other songs, “Suite Madam Blue”, and “Crystal Ball”. If you play their first big hit, “Lady”, there is an awesome live version where singer/pianist, Dennis De Young, has an extended piano intro. It is amazing!
Miss America, Blue Collar Man, anything with JY or Tommy Shaw on vocals
My favorite band of all Time
Some good Styx songs to give a listen to:
Miss America
Lady
The Grand Illusion
Too Much Time on my Hands
Two lead singers. This is Dennis DeYoung who plays piano and keyboards and one of the main songwriters. Tommy Shaw is the lead guitarist and handles some of the lead vocals like on Too Much Time On My Hands, Renegade, etc. Dennis sang on Babe, Best of Times, etc.
Styx is one of the most successful and prolific ROCK BANDS of all time. I am a life-long Styx fan (well, since High School), and this is arguably their most "classical" song. Most of their other songs will peel your eyeballs with blistering rock guitar solos. Check out Miss America, Blue Collar Man, Snowblind, and all of their "rabbit hole"
This song is in the category of what was known as epic rock songs of the 70s, like Stairway to Heaven; Classical rock. Getting stoned was part of the experience of listening to these songs.
Boat on the River, is an under appreciated tune. Sung by Tommy Shaw, one of their other lead singers. Tommy is also in the band Damn Yankees, another super group you will enjoy
I love Styx. Renegade is one you need to listen too.
Just because of your intro, im giving you a subscription.. i know its not a huge thing... but you guys made me smile today. That doesn't happen often.
Man in the wilderness is my favorite. You guys rock!
STYX ROCKS!!!!!!
They have a great video of Styx performing this on RUclips.
Styx is another awesome group! Lots of great songs!❤
This song is a masterpiece!
My cousin got Styx’ Paradise Theater album for his birthday. It was so awesome!
Styx has many great songs from power ballads to blow the roof off rockers.Here are a few of my favorites that are sure to please you guys "Renegade" "The Grand Illusion" "Too Much Time On My Hands" and "Babe" !!
I saw Styx 7 or 8 times back in '72-'73, when I was 16. They were promoting their first 2 albums on the local Chicago "Wooden Nickel" label. They sold signed copies of the LP's for $5.00 to the crowd when they played at the local, "smoky" non-alcohol teen night club in the Chicago suburbs where my GF (future wife) was the coat check girl (lots of fringed "rawhide" suede jackets to watch). They would do a set from their first album, then a full set of Led Zeppelin covers (they didn't have enough of their own material for 3 sets at the time). Finally, they finished with songs from "Styx II". The crowd always went wild when they played "Lady" as the finale. They'd sit at the old, wood telephone cable spool tables with candle-wax covered Chianti bottles in the center (a staple of club décor at the time) with us "hippy kids" during the breaks between sets. They were just cool locals who eventually made it big. They even played a concert at my high school!
Amazing band you have to find the live version ❤
Like Sam's Mom, I've also seen Van Halen and Styx, twice. The first time in 1978 on their Crystal Ball tour and then again last year. I just love them! Thanks for reviewing them and I hope you'll do a lot more. And keep listening to Sam's Mom!
Such a great song and a great band.
For something different, watch "Tommy Shaw - Fooling Yourself (The Angry Young Man) (Live)" with the Youth Contemporary Orchestra from Cleveland Ohio. Tommy Shaw is one of the singers from Styx, and the Contemporary Youth orchestra is an amazing group of musicians in the middle-high school age range.
One of the 1st concerts I saw live in Seattle starting in 1980 when I was just 13 ! I grew up living close to the Seattle Center Coliseum & saw many bands ! Van Halen too, like your momma also ! Three times ! Do more of them ok ? More Styx also ! Renegade is my Favorite & really Rocking ! 😎👍🙌🤙
i read that deyoung has said that this is a song about yearning to be in a better place whether getting their metaphorically on a boat or guided by angels or flying off on a star ship. starship as in becoming stars no aliens.
Que gran tema el día de hoy
This is amazing live. Saw them twice, in 1978 on their "Grand Illusion" tour and in 1983 for the "Kilroy Was Here" tour.
back in the late 70s this song was the class song for alot of graduations....kinda meant the moving forward into life and kinda meant freedom for alot of high school seniors...pretty cool.
glad y'all listened to the long version 👍
Great reaction STYX is in my top 3 bands from the 70's. Any reaction from their live Return to Paradise concert performance, (1997) because Dennis Deyoung was with them in this one. I would say, "Babe", "Crystal Ball", "Renegade", "Too Much Time on My Hands". Heck, any song from that concert! The best live concert from them that I've seen.
Styx - A.D. 1928, Rockin' The Paradise 1996 Live Video.... Cut and patse and ENJOY!!! Best of all around Styx sounds.
I love the lyrics to this.... Reflections leading to an 3rd Level of Contact with Aliens.
If you’re going down the Styx road, you gotta do Renegade next!!
I've seen Styx 3 times in the 80's....glad I got to see their original lineup before the loss of John Panozzo. Once Tommy Shaw jumped off the stage and ran up the aisle about 30 or 40 rows with his guitar!
You'll love this, one of my very favorites, Tommy Shaw came in as new vocals, couldn't catch up commenting on video earlier was just multitasking Sweet Madem Blue , and Crystal Ball 🔮 oh they can Rock try Renegade " this is awesome Come Sail away, b Blue collar Man,they have catalog great 👍🤘🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
I wish you would have done the live video for this so you could see the band. It is an awesome video. Along with this song my next favorite would be "Babe". They are awesome.
You two HAVE done "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen, yes? I'll have to check.
So, this band is another rabbit hole to go down with so many amazing songs. The album Grand Illusion of which this song is from was considered their masterpiece when they were at the height of their musical powers IMHO.
With that in mind, listen to the previous album Crystal Ball and the following album (of Grand Illusion) Pieces of Eight. All three are just killer and represent Styx's super rich creative era. They were firing on all cylinders.
So many good songs! This is still one of my favorites even though it was overplayed, that actually says a lot!!
From here in Chicago. Love these guys. i saw 2 times. My brother got to be friends with them when they were only playing High Schools before they hit it big.
Check out their song Blue Collar Man, much more heavy rock
That organ is so meaty. I still play it.
