Now why would you bother to post about setlists of a band you won't go see? You're not going to change our opinion that we enjoy this version of Styx, and we're not going to change yours about not wanting to see them without DDY. Let those that enjoy this music to do so without pi**ing all over it.

Why not ?

Pssst, let me let you in on a little secret. Styx has always been a joke to the masses. That's what's so funny about your idiocy.

It actually started more or less with Kilroy.

Except that everyone liked that album - and it still stands the test of time. Its just become convenient to hate it because that was the last real one.

Styx was uncool way before Kilroy. Go read reviews of GI or POE. No critic love there.

Not to get in the argument...but the critics...like Rolling Stone are pieces of shit. Who cares what they say or said. They can have their opinion, but they were always much different than mine.

In a round about way that is my point also. Styx fans have been taking grief for years. We're good at it. Most of us have had to defend our love or liking of Styx music at one time or the other. I have no illusions that my dislike of Styx's ballads will change the opinions of those that like them. But when someone says they love Babe, I don't tell them they are pieces of s*** and that it sucks to be them. That's the main point. Like what you like and let others like what they like.

Not everybody liked that album...that is VERY far from the truth.

Not that I would defend any music critic or have them affect what I choose to listen to but, Styx and it's management at the time didn't really handle critics as well as they could have. Not that I am saying it is 100% their fault but I think that they made some errors that got them on the bad side of some critics.

Actually Styx has always been a joke to critics, while the masses are the ones that supported the band.

Which brings up an interesting question: isn't it better to be loved by real fans than critics?

True enough, but critics also hated Zeppelin, Journey, the Eagles, Black Sabbath, Rush, Queen, ELP, Jethro Tull . . . and in fact, almost every successful band of that era. That means absolutely nothing. Critics were pushing a very specific agenda that had nothing in the world to do with what normal people like. Let's face it, critics liked the Ramones . . . but most real people hate them, which is why they failed miserably in the real-life marketplace. There are a few exceptions like U2 or Springsteen, but for the most part critical acceptance is the consolation prize for real-life failure.

The irony is this: Styx was uncool in the eyes of critics . . . who are some of the uncoolest people ever to walk the planet. Seriously, we're going to let a massive geek like Dave Marsh tell us what's cool? I think I'll just stick with listening to what makes me happy, and those people can continue to go fuck themselves, as always.

Amen! Styx' problems with the press were self-inflicted to no small degree, that's for sure. Not that critics would have otherwise liked the band, but the band's extreme defensiveness did not - and still does not - serve it well in that regard.

You got that right! Bands would get nowhere if it was up to just the critics.

Wrong! The few assholes that contol the media didn't like Styx because they didn't create them. They are NOT the masses. Just the Asses!

Yes! My point exactly. Don't let the friggin media tell you what to think. The masses have always loved Styx. This Band had ZERO help from the Media and several asshole critics. And they still did well.
