i dont think they want me to believe it doesnt exist......i think they believe the song sucks big ole dirty donkey balls and they dont want to play it.....good enough reason for me.

even if DDY were back in the band and they did one last reunion tour i would omit that song from the setlist if i were allowed to put the setlist together......yep, it's the only #1 song but to my ears is not even close to being in their top 25 songs.

To each their own..I could go another 50 years without ever hearing Miss America again and be perfectly happy.

You could add TMTOMH to that list. In my opinion that is.

Babe HAS aged well.

I like it far better now then I did back in 79-80. Its a REALLY good ballad.

Guess thats why it went to #1 and won a Grammy.

Babe won a Grammy? I thought Styx only received Grammy nominations? Wasn't it a People's Choice Award?

Winning a People's Choice is better. Screw the Grammy's.
Styx was popular because they were good, not because some board of elitists (with an agenda) told us they were good.
