OH MY GOSH!!! I so totally agree!!! I played this cd over and over the last couple of days.

I love "LIGHTS"!! I miss hearing that one in concert live!!!! And then WHY ME!! What a great song!! I love walking around the house wondering "Why Me" - LOL As for "Babe", a lot of memories, school dances, blah blah blah Love "Never Say Never"!!! Love " Boat on a River", wish I could hear that one in concert live again!! "Borrowed Time", OMG to hear that live now and I love watching that old video. I did get use to the "yes" and "no's" LOL And who could forget "First Time" I love that song and I'm so happy that he's adding it to his concerts!!! "Eddie" is okay. And WOW, another new favorite of mine now is "Love in The Midnight"!!!

This is a such a GREAT GREAT GREAT album!!!

Darren, some day you'll really love the song "Music Time" and appreciate it!!

There is more chance of Froy becoming President of Gowans fan club than me liking that song.....

I class that song with the Kung Fu Fighting's of this world.....both horrid songs and whoever wrote Kung Fu Fighting must of been on the same drugs as Dennis when he wrote Music Slime.

I am going to rank the album sides of Styxll, Equinox, Crystal Ball, The Grand Illusion, Pieces Of Eight, Cornerstone,Paradise Theatre, Kilroy Was Here & Edge Of The Century:

I did not rank- Styx, Serpent, Man Of Miracles, Brave New World, &Cyclorama

18. Styx ll- Side- Tails - this is a REAL REAL tough listen for me.
17. Kilroy Was Here - Side 1 - The only song I can stomach is Roboto- Cold War, High Time & Dont Let It End( Its all bad in my book)
** These are the ONLY two album sides that I do NOT like**

16. Paradise Theatre - Side 2
15. Crystal Ball- Side 2
14. Edge Of The Century - Side 2
13. Crystal Ball - Side 1
12. Kilroy Was Here - Side 2
11. Equinox- Side 1
10. Styx ll - Heads
9. The Grand Illusion - Side 2
8. Pieces Of Eight - Side 1
7. Cornerstone- Side 2
6. Paradise Theatre- Side 1
5. Cornerstone - Side 1
4. Edge Of the Century - Side 1
3. Pieces Of Eight- Side 2
2. The Grand Illusion - Side 1- and the winner................

1. EQUINOX- Side2

** As for Music Time, I agree 100% with Darren** The only A&M songs I felt Styx did that were worse than Music Time were Cold War & High Time.

High Time for me was the worst song they EVER did. Still it had an excuse in that it fit into the Kilroy concept. Cold War was damn near as bad of a song, and what made it worse than High Time was, did Cold War actually fit the Kilroy Concept???

For Music Time there was no concept. They just did a damn near perfect horrible song.

Gosh, this is a toughie. It has been SO long since I listened to a vinyl album "side", Yogi. When I first got my Styx albums I listened, but ended up transferring them to cassette tape and so there were no side one or side two for me....just the entire album, for many years.

It is that way now. All of my Styx recordings are on CD, so I listen to the entire album start to finish. I do this with all my Styx recordings. I think this is how the albums were meant to be heard, one song flowing into the next. It sure works for me.

Since some of my original Styx vinyl has disappeared into the Great Unknown Place That is Created When One Moves, I really have a hard time remembering the sides of each one.

I would think both Side 1 and Side 2 of Equinox. I cannot choose with such a great recording.

Definitely Side 1 of both GI and Cornerstone.

Probably Side 2 of POE.

Paradise Theater -- no preference

Not much comment on the others in their ouvre. I like all of Styx II however.

Shutting up now.
