Some of that is floating around. Other stuff which isn't on that list (and talked about in my interview with DDY - specifically a song called "Lighthouse") and some on that list are not floating around. "Worshipping Heroes" I have doubts if it was recorded by Styx and I'll leave it at that ... someone once played me outtakes from Cornerstone, and there was nothing even remotely indicating that song made it past the demo stage.

The BOTR live from the 12" is the same on the Euro CITA and the later CD single, so that's pretty easy to find. So is the live CB from Roadie. Unfinished Song is easy to hear.

Of the unheard Son of Edge demos, All For Love can be found on the boots of the first two Glen shows with DDY.

The MP3s of Tell Me on a Sunday and Pinball Wizard were floating around years ago.

Tommy's got a bunch of unreleased stuff including covers.

RE: Worshiping Heroes-

I had a magazine once and it was (up to that time) the biggest story on Styx I'd ever seen. Bowie was on the cover and there was a color article on Styx. I believe it was when they were recording Cornerstone. "Worshiping Heroes" was mentioned in that article. I remember it because I've always wondered who's track it was and what happened to it.

I'd say that one's legit.

Remember that may also be a working title for an existing song, too. When I speak to DDY again I'll see if he remembers.

Like maybe "Don't Wait For Heroes"?

Doubt it. Working titles and final titles can have nothing to do with each other, especially if they go through a lyrics change.
