Best of 21st Century- aka 100 Cycloramic years from now...?

[classicstyxfan]

OK, this thread is proof positive I have too much time on my hands.......

Your Mission, if you choose to accept it, is to put together a release featuring new ( 21st century )music made by Styx/DDY to be sent back in a time machine to be released after POE but before Cornerstone.....

Ideally, your release will have a balance of DDY/TS/and JY compositions roughly equal to the ratio that would be consistant with what a Styx release in that time period would have......or tweak it in whatever manner you wish.

what tracks would you include to ensure it would be multi platinum, as were the releases of that Era ?

Here's mine

1. One Hundred Years From Now
2. Waiting for our time
3. Save Me
4. Kiss your ass Goodbye
5. These are the times
6. Rain
7. Crossing the Rubicon
8. Killing the thing you love
9. Goodnight my Love
10. Hello God
11.Captain America
12. One with Everything

Nice list,though I would skip 'Hello god' for 'Black Wall'

Nope...but only because the mission states 21st century music. Black Wall is from 20th century.

Yes you have too much time on your hands.

Hmmm...if I were to choose

1. Crossing the Rubicon
2. These are the Times
3. Waiting for Our Time
4. 100 Years Now
5. This Time Next Year
6. One with Everything
7. My God
8. I Don't Believe in Anything
9. Save Me
10. Goodnight My Love

Umm I did that allready.. Copier!

And I did call it Cycloyears as well...

From the "REO Rocked Summerfest" posted by our Biggest DDY Supporter, Thenightbull!!! (He's even a bigger fan of DDY then FROY IS!!!! )



Yeah but you have to admit DDY's new CD has a lot of solid rockers and NO show tunes on it!

There's only like 3 songs that I contstantly skip because well, they are really bad songs (sorry but I did say PASS on three of them) but the other songs on his CD.. A must for all Styx fans of any generation/lineup.

That sounds like another great idea.. mix tunes from this CD and Cyclorama together to get a kick ass Styx CD!

I think I will do just that!

"CycloYears"
1) Rain
2) Kiss Your Ass Goodbye (Cause Well Glen is still kinda in Styx!)
3) One With Everything
4) I Believe In You
5) Save Me
6) These Are The Times
7) This Time Next Year
8. Just Be
9) Fooling Yourself Palm Of Your Hand (Cool intro to CNN)
10) Turn Off CNN
11) I Don't Believe In Anything
12) Together
13) Killing The Thing That You Love (What better way to bury the hatchet with the song supposedly about Dennis!)
14) Yes I Can
15) Crossing The Rubicon

Bonus Tracks:
16) Everything All The Time
17) All For Love
18. 100 Years From Now - English Version (With Tommy or Glen doing the 2nd verse)

Yes I added the other "newer" Styx tracks, but I think they would work with some of the Dennis songs.

You've got a lot here for almost all generations of Styx fans..

Tommy Rockers
Tommy Ballads
Progressive Elements in Killing, One and Crossing
Dennis Rockers
Dennis Pop
Dennis Ballads
JY Rockers

And of course.. Glen Burtnik!

I omitted the two Gowan Styx songs.. but if I were to add them (weirder things have happened in music, look at the Doobies, Yes, Bad Company, etc) I would put "Fields" before These Are The Times and More Love after "Anything".

Flame away lol

I guess every so often topics will be repeated.
I can live with that.It is not as bad as reading the same answers to different questions.
Sometimes the answers do not even have anything to do with the topic.
If you know what I mean.?

9. Goodnight my Love
10. Hello God
11.Captain America
12. One with Everything

To try to get as close in style to "classic" Styx as possible:

1. 100 Years From Now
2. This Time Next Year
3. More Love For The Money
4. Waiting For Our Time
5. Rain
6. One With Everything
7. My God Can Beat Up Your God
8. Yes I Can
9. Killing The Thing That You Love
10. Crossing The Rubicon
11. Talking About The Good Times
12. Goodnight My Love

That's trying to get a cross-section of writers, styles and singers. Looking at the list, I'm struck by how few of the great songs from the past few years are Tommy's, at least in my view. I'd really love to see him re-visit his strengths, and in my opinion his great strength is in writing 3-4 minute pop-rock songs like "Renegade", "Blue Collar Man", and "Too Much Time". We haven't had an "Outsider", "Are You Ready For Me", "Coming of Age", "Come Again", or even "All In How You Say It" in years. For my money Tommy has gotten sidetracked writing these longer, somewhat meandering, mid-tempo quasi-prog things like "Everything All The Time" and "Just Be", when that is not his great strength. Who agrees or disgrees with that? I'm just curious, not trying to start some flame war.

I hope all is well.
