Sorry, I don't get out to play a lot anymore like I used to but every once in a while I'm able to sneak out of a while. I even had a Styx website back in the day which I think is still around. http://web.archive.org/web/200503082243 ... index.html I'm sure there a few out there who might remember me.

It's not a Styx thing, it is a Universal thing.
SANTA MONICA, Calif., Aug. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- A new series of albums featuring the greatest hits, signature tunes and fan favorites of the most popular artists in music history will offer unprecedented value to consumers.

Each album, at a great price, includes 12 hit tracks. Noteworthy among the releases are the first-ever retrospectives from neo-soul queen Erykah Badu and alt-rock heroes Hoobastank. Several artists--Patsy Cline, Marvin Gaye, KISS, Styx, The Temptations and Don Williams--are spotlighted with additional 2-CD versions filled with 24 selections.

More rewriting of history...love how Best of Times is relegated as an "Album Track" and is designated on "Icon 2"...

Uh idiots....Best of Times was your third biggest hit single OF ALL TIME and the lead single off your ONLY #1 album. Hardly an "album track"

Get over yourselves TS and JY and just acknowledge your history and quit trying to erase it.

This just gets to be funny. Another compilation that intentionally excludes DDY songs...

Where is...
Don't Let It End (#6 Pop, 1983)
Rockin The Paradise (#8 Rock, 1981)
Love At First Sight (#25 Pop, #13 AC, 1991)
Why ME (#24 Pop, 1980)


Instead we have
Snowblind on the "hits" CD (CD1)?
Mademoiselle on the "hits" CD (CD1)?
Love Is the Ritual (how did that make it?)
Shooz?!?!?!
Man In The Wilderness?

Its fine if you want to have these songs on a compilation CD, but only after you fit the other songs on before.

Clearly, we have the influence of JY/TS as the songs that are left out are DDY songs and the questionable songs that are added are TS/JY songs...notice a pattern here?

[Ash]

I didn't think much about some of those omissions, but the inclusion of Shooz was a bit puzzling - given it is likely the worst Styx song outside of Plexiglas Toilet.

[LtVanish]

Shooz was on the "Rockers" cd also, kinda strange it is all of a sudden included on a couple of complilations. I could understand if it was a song that the band played live all the time, but they have never played it really outside of the medley.

DLIE, Why Me, and LAFS are not on the Gold/CSA 2CD collection, either. This release is just a shortened (and probably cheaper) version of the the Gold/CSA 2CD set. Just saying ...
