OK........here's a new twist on our favorite topics Since the 2 sides split up , list 5 things ( songs, interviews, holding their tongue....could be whatever you think fits ) each side can be most proud of.........

If you prefer to start a flame war, you could also go with the 5 things each side should be ashamed of.......I prefer to remain positive.


Here's my lists:

2. These are the Times
3. Raw Stamina
4. Playing the Superbowl
5. I am The Walrus


Dennis

1. Black Wall
2. Soundstage

[bugsymalone]

Classic, I really cannot help you here. I am just not versed enough in Current Styx to think of anything I truly like. There was one song on Cyclo that I liked, maybe One with Everything, and I sorta like Tommy's singing and the guitar work on Can't Find My Way Back Home.

Two positives there from my perspective.

Oh and I have a copy of the Cyclo medley and it really is quite good except for the Gowan parts.
