And your choice is?

Tie between day's work & edge.

What about "It Takes Love," I know he didn't sing it with Styx (except for the very last little whooo at the end) but he did write it

Why don't you just ask me to pick my favorite child while you're at it? lol

It was a toss-up between Ritual and KYAG for me, but I do have a soft spot for "World Tonight." (which Glen hates, btw)

Hates World? Interesting. Love the bridge in that song. One of the Three spots on Edge where they capture the classic Styx sound (other 2 - chorus on SMTW and keyboard solo on Homewrecker)

He hates the lyrics, mostly.

I love every one of those songs but Love is the Ritual kicks SERIOUS ass!

All EXCELLENT - BAM for Glen's solo effort gets my vote.

Especially the Styxworld Live version. Pure Awesome.

Yogi - BAM! is great, but "Another" is my personal favorite off WTH.

'Another 'is GREAT- 'All Thats Yet To Come' is AMAZING also!!!

I like all of Glens stuff with Styx. But Kiss... is my favorite, and the Styx version is better than the Hollywood CD version.
Like the beat to the song and how it is sang. The choirs is pure Styx and the the keyboard part adds the right amount of Styxism to give it a solid punch.

Love "Kiss Your Ass Goodbye"... it's a little Bink 182 for Styx really, but it's a great Glen song.

Love them all but willl go with kiss your ass goodbye

My favorite Glen song

"BAM" is my favorite Glen Solo tune. That whole "Welcome to Hollywood" album is fantastic. One of my all-time top 10 favorite albums.

Love "All in a Day's Work." Such a great song. I am a fan of "World Tonight", too, Zan.

Bugsy

Can't believe there aren't more votes for Killing the Thing That You Love. That song is great, and really captures the classic 70s Styx prog vibe. I particularly love that menacing harmony guitar line set to the marching drums.

I love it too. It's just that there are others I'd have to rank higher. If KTTTYL was matched up against songs like "Snowblind," "Never Say Never," "or "What Has Come Between Us," I'd definitely vote for it - but songs like KYAG and Ritual are just too good.

awesome. I'm pretty much a fan of anything off H&Z, Palookaville, and Retrospectacle. It would be really hard for me to choose a favorite off any of those

The results are pretty piss poor. Killing the Thing... is the clear choice. It's well-written, has a great lead vocal and is excellent in it's production. Nice voting morons.
