MR

There's a local "garage" band that are playing classic rock songs. They want to add a Styx song. Any suggestions? They want a song that most ages would know and it should have a lot of guitar in it.

I don't know if I can handle hearing them practice "Blue Collar Man"- LOL

Any other Classic Styx songs? thanks

How about Blue Collar Man..oops.. Just Kidding...LOL.....

Renegade would be a popular classic song with the guitar work...

Man In The Wilderness, Queen Of Spades, Half Penny-Two Penny, Born For Adventure, Shooz, and Great White Hope would be some good choices.... Not as popular as Renegade, but has a good amount of guitar in them...


DeeJay...

Madame,

I hope they've got a vocalist with chops if they decide to do Renegade.....
The garage band I was in during my formative years had it in our setlist
and I found it VERY challenging.....especially when it was in the middle of a set.

If they have a screamer on vocals, I'd say Miss America might be a good one.

They want guitars?? ' Midnight ride ' fershure.A song that all ages know?Maybe not that one,but people will be asking about it.. which ,who and where it comes from.

Grand Illusion or Rockin the Paradise are better known guitar oriented songs.

Thanks for your suggestions everyone, I appreciate the feedback

"Renegade" and "Blue Collar Man" (UGH!!!) are the ones they're going to work on for now.

I'm going to pass "Rockin' The Paradise" to them too

I enjoy listening to these "young kids" practicing & performing songs that I grew up with.
