Any reports of how it sounded, or even any videos?

Hey kids,

Thanks to everyone who participated in this poll and special thanks to Laurie for taking the time to add all this up. I started to add this myself about a week ago but after 15 minutes of staring at the the votes I developed some nausea, stood up too quickly and stumbled backwards into a giant pile of kitty litter. And we do not own a cat, very peculiar.

The songs that only received a single vote were not counted simply because
we got one for Don't Stop Believing (curse that song) and one for More Than A Feeling. Some folks who lived during the 70's have memory issues. Had pot been invented yet? Like when people with the best intentions will recount a story to me so heartfelt about the first time they saw us at a place we'd never played with another band we never shared a stage with. I do not correct them because all they are really telling me is how much they like your music and what the hell is wrong with that...Nuttin.

Regarding the top five chosen I have played all these songs in the past ten years at least once. This past month both Queen of Spades and Castle Walls have been performed three times each. It might have been more but when giving the audience a choice they will pick Don't Let it End or Show me the Way every time. One night I offered Don't Stop Believing and the crowd cheered...true story no BS. What's a mother to do? The Queen and her Castle will make occasional visits to our set.

The other two, I'm OK and Borrowed Time have been played sparingly although BT is a cool rocker with amazingly high vocals that my band can quite simply, nail. I know this cause we have fooled with at sound check. I think we will give it a whirl. Stay tuned friends.

Others in the top twenty that appeal to me are First Time at number 13 (that song has nothin but bad luck)and Harry's Hands at nine. I have played a verse of First Time solo several times over the years but never as a band and we have played HH once at the Arcada in St Charles Il. These songs are favorites of mine so let's have at it.

What's interesting to me is the scope of music you guys like from ballads to rockers and everything in between, which says to me, Styx because of it's variety was what so many folks liked about the band.

Was anyone shocked that Weird Al loved Plexiglass Toilet more then some of our other hits, I was not. Dr. Dimento played it a lot and immortalized the lyrics "momma says don't belch and fart" who says we couldn't write lyrics.

Thanks again for voting

Cheers Dennis
