I was a fan of both groups (among others) back in the 70’s and 80’s, but I never saw any similarity at all. Talk about the old cliché, apples and oranges! This most certainly applies to these two groups. Other than having two powerful signature voices, neither of whom sound anything remotely alike, these groups share nothing in common musically.
I always saw (and heard) Journey as a power pop/rock band ; Styx more progressive rock with some pop/rock leanings.
So what is the reason for “comparisons” or saying one band is “better” than the other? I really don’t get it.
There is no argument from me that Journey was the more popular band and, apparently, still is.
Classic Styx fan that I am , this does not bother me in the slightest.
I will add that I wish Steve Perry were out doing what Dennis is doing. The world is currently minus one great rock voice.
OK, I have vented…..and raved a bit, too, I guess.

A few days ago, I said I would lay off of you and your buddy Neal, to give you time to lick your wounds.....which I did publicly, until you crossed over here to start things up. I'll stick to that for a few more days.....
Now scurry back to your board, where you are safe for the time being.

classicstyxfan wrote:OK, For the record, I tried to spare you all from Dogs-i-lean's drivel by taking it private. He evidently needs all the attention he can get by spewing his vocabu-puke in public.
No one can say I didnt try.

And to anyone reading this, go to the journey board for proof positive that I held up to my bet....it's fact, nothing Dogsi can say can change that.
I added some comments about the Greatest franchise over the course of NFL history as they pertained to the current best team in the NFC, and this whiny boy cant handle it.
Nothing I said was untrue, or detracted from the Seattle Seahawks.
Dogsi, you need help......professional help ! you've got issues that cant be resolved here on a music discussuon board. Do yourself a favor and find a profesional to talk it out with.
