Really a twist on other threads, and yes we have done this before but its been awhile

Which of Dennis solo work would have made it to a Styx album?

Black Wall
Harry's Hands
100 Years From Now
Rain
Save Me
Crossing the Rubicon
Turn Off CNN

Disagree with Harry's Hands. Good solo song, but not a Styx song, especially for that time period.

I would add to your list

Dear Darling
Call Me
Southbound Ryan - still undecided on. Could be wrong time period though for when it was written.

and not sure if CNN would have made it.

to me is a "follow-up" to Father O.S.A. and This Old Man. The bombast..the chorus...all say "Styx" to me.

"CNN" is VERY similar, IMHO, in song structure to "Rockin' the Paradise."

It depends what year it is. If between the years 1982 and 1997 then any of it could have been on a Styx record because he was basically calling all of the shots. Prior to that...unknown.

Crossing the Rubicon!!

Come on, first ten seconds you hear STYX-STYX-STYX.

I see it as a sequel to Boat on the River

Crossing The Rubicon may be the BEST song Styx or any of it's members have EVER done!!!!!

OMG...you cannot be serious. What are you hearing that I am not. I love Suite Madame Blue, Come Sail Away, Grand Illusion, etc....I hear very little of that with Crossing The Rubicon....how can someone else hear the BEST song Styx or any of it's members have ever done? What am I missing?

It is BETTER than Suite Madame Blue.

The songs are very similiar, but I like Rubicon better.

I will ALWAYS think that Equinox was Styx's best album. I love the song Suite Madame Blue. With that said, Rubicon is better.

You cant compare it to The Grand Illusion. It is a different type of song. Rubicon blows it completely out of the water.


The only Styx song that may be as good in my opinion is Come Sail Away.

Wow..I just don't know what to say..better than SMB or Grand Illusion...hmmm. Do others feel the same way?

Different songs. Different inspiration for writing them. VERY different subject matter covered in each one. All great songs in my view.

I always though Harry's HAnds would have been a great Styx song-ERIC

Harry's HAnds
Beneath The Moon
This is the Time (Styx doing back up against DDY lead)
Desert Moon
Fire (could have been on BBT)
I'll get Lucky
Don't Wait for Heores (middle of song would have been more rocked up)
Boom Child
It's in Everyone of US
Who will Love this Child
Crossing the Rubicon
100 Years
plus a couple more from the new one0ERIC
