Customer Reviews
Average Rating: Rating: - Necessary If you pick up this collection, "Greatest Hits Part II", "The Grand Illusion", "Paradise Theater", "Styx II"(Lady), and "Caught In The Act", you will own all of the Styx albums you will ever need to. As much as I enjoy this group, most of their individual albums have some really, really bad material. This cd is a great place to start. It has all but one of their big hit singles, "Babe" #1, "Mr. Roboto" #3, "The Best Of Times" #3, "Show Me The Way" #3, "Don't Let It End" #6, "Come Sail Away" #8, "Too Much Time On My Hands" #9, and "Renegade" #16. It also features some classic, more minor hits in "Blue Collar Man" #21, "Lorelei" #27, "Fooling Yourself(The Angry Young Man) #29", along with some classic rock and concert favorites "The Grand Illusion", "Suite Madame Blue", "Crystal Ball", and "Miss America". As you can see, this disc is very comprehensive, it doesn't really miss on too much. If only there was room for "Rockin' The Paradise" and "Snowblind", and RCA would have granted permission to use the original version of "Lady", all of the absolutely necessary stuff would be included. Rating: - Styx and stones will.... A lot of memorable songs are on this cd. Too Much Time On My Hands, Renegade, Crystal Ball, etc. I have always liked a couple of their songs having lived through this period of time. I wouldn't call myself a fan, but I can't dis the band either. I think they made well refined commercial music. I have read a lot of totally negative reviews. These people who put down the seventies and all that it stands for. You know at their most commercial I would still take REO and Styx over Nirvana or REM. It's funny how these preprogrammed "intellectuals" of good taste in music, movies, and pop culture in general give the same examples of their "good" music: early REM, early Clash, etc. You know why they stick early in there? Because later in those momentous "intellectual" words they "sold out" like Metallica or Aerosmith. You know why? Because they wanted to be more like Styx or Journey and sell records! Arena rock? What is that? They must have picked up that term from one of those various artist cds sold on television. Pick up this cd if you like this brand of rock. Personally I like quite a few other bands more. Especially "late" Clash. Man, should I stay or should I go? I think I'll go! What lyrics. Rating: - All of the Hits Are Here! This album, along with "Greatest Hits Part II" contains all of the essential tracks by Styx. Styx was the first band to have 3 consecutive triple platinum albums (not even the Beatles accomplished this feat), and one listen to this excellent compilation will show you why they were so successful in the 70s and 80s. They're all here, from Such Tommy Shaw rockers as "Renegade", "Too Much Time on my Hands", and "Fooling Yourself" (One of my favorites) to Dennis DeYoung's "Lorelei" (my favorite Styx song), "Babe", and "Don't Let it End". JY also chimes in with "Miss America". Styx was defined by loud guitars and superior harmony vocals, and this package brings these elements back to life. I grew up a Styx fan and I must say I much prefer the old line up of Dennis DeYoung, Tommy Shaw, JY, and the Pannozzos to the group that is touring today. Simply put, Lawrence Gowan is no Dennis DeYoung. Buy this and the Greatest Hits II disc and enjoy the original Styx.
