OT - The "best" 5 consecutive albums by an artist

[classicstyxfan]

I'm not a big enough fan to be able to name them, but I bet Elton Johns Albums between 1972 and 1976 probably deserve some mention here.

He ruled the world during that period....

[NealIsGod]

Billy Joel

Turnstiles (1976)
The Stranger (1977)
52nd Street (1980)
Glass Houses (1980)
Songs in the Attic (1981)

[classicstyxfan]

were there really no Albums released by Billy Joel in 1978 or 1979 ?

seems odd, considering the roll he was on. BUT, if he waited so he could put out a higher quality release, then God Bless him !

on the other hand, perhaps he was busy attending to Christie Brinkleys needs, in which case, I salute him !

Not hiding under anonymous identities..No offense, but your paranoia is quite odd..

Of course you aren't. I should have just asked all those who know you in the first place.

Huh...you've always been *obsessed*, Zan, when did you turn paranoid?!

Seems Miss AnonymousO is confusing a simple matter of not being fooled with being paranoid. Sort of like Balin confusing me wanting to bash his teeth in with wanting to see him naked. lol

Accept - Good choices Ek

Thanks! I thought they might catch your eye - LOL!!!

I really don't understand you or where you are coming from. Did you forget to take your medication?

No I am not confused at all. I just think you are a bit odd. Aren't you the one who just got married? Maybe if you invest a little more time in that and not trying to put others down, we'd all have a better day.

[Zan]

Actually, I have the flu, so I've taken my meds for the week, rest assured. But kudos for your originality. lol

I'm curious,

What board/boards have you frequented, and how long have you been lurking online?

Who do you remember from those places?

What is your name?

What do you do for a living?

Who in our cyber world has met you or spoken to you directly?

What's your favorite Styx song?

What annoys you most about the current line up of Styx?

Boy that fever must really be kicking in for you to give me this type of interragation? Who do you think you are? And why must I answer to you? I might ask you the same thing as well. Most of the answers to these questions are none of your damn business, but here are a few of them.

My name is Ann and I am married with 2 sons and live most of the year in Australia. Am an Australian native. And no less than 8 people have written me privately and told me what a character you are (by the way "character" is not the word they used) and to not get involved with your petty charades - which is exactly what I am unfortunately now doing. So, again I would request that this be dropped or taken off the public boards.

Hope you feel better.

My goodness, is there a medication for a stick up someone's butt?

Suite,

Can you please tell me why Zan and Angie have decided to gang up on me? And as moderator of this forum, can you please do something about it?

Thanks so much!

LMAO..."Ganging up". My, who is paranoid now? I'm simply giving my friend Zan a little support against a rude person with a chip on their shoulder for some reason. Hate to break it to you, this thread isn't about YOU. YOU are the one long ago who could have taken this private if you truly have a problem with Zan. Might be a good time to do so. No one wants to hear your whining.

[Zan]

And no less than 8 people have written me privately and told me what a character you are

And oddly enough, not one person has validated your existance to me privately or on this board (yet). Well, one *sorta* did, but it wasn't favorable either. Trust me, Annie, I'm aware there are people who don't agree with/like me or what I write here, but I guarantee you, most people can vouch that I'm a real person.

Again, I'm not surprised that you would answer the way you did. Trolls always get defensive when they're asked who they are.

[DerriD]

Hey,

How come I never got my --'welcome to the board and watch out for that "character" Zan'-- letter?

[Zan]

I tried to send it, but it kept bouncing back.

Thanks for the laugh, Derri!

Wow, you really must not have anything to do to be going around trying to validate my existence. That is pretty pathetic. If you would like my husband's e-mail, I am sure he could validate my existence. Or my two sons, I think they could validate my existence. Or my mum or my younger brother. Would you like me to send you an e-mail address for all of them so that they can validate my existence? Or would you like me to hop on a plane and pay you a personal visit so that you can see me in the flesh. What exactly will satisfy this morbid curiosity of yours?

You really are an oddity. Lets make an agreement. Please, stop trying to involve me in your petty little games. I have tried to remain civil with you, but you try my patience. Will you please just stop and move on?

Trust me on this, Annie, it's not morbid curiousity at all. In fact, if given the choice, I would opt never to cross paths with you. Perhaps you are a victim of mistaken "identity," but it is VERY coincidental, if that's the case. Suffice it to say that I've known an AnnieO of sorts for years on these Styxworld message boards with a very similar rap as you (in the beginning). Coincidental on the name, the points of view, the obsession with me and my evil DeYoung bashing throughout the years (years, by which, you weren't even present for, I might add), and even comparing Burtnik to Brian Adams, ingenius!

Like I said, it could just be a terrible case of mistaken identity, but I'm skeptical. Call me odd. lol

For now, I will stop. if you are who you say you are, it'll be easy to tell before too long, and I'll apologize.

I *am* odd, but not for the reason you may think.

Well color the feeling mutual.

So, let me get this straight because I am really trying to understand this hypothesis of yours (hypothesis by the way means belief). You think that I am some person who was on the Styxworld message board named AnnieO? Is that your belief? So, then why did you call me "Raj"? Who is that? See, that is where I get confused and that is where you stop making sense.

Obsession with you and your evil DeYoung bashing? Wow. We do think highly of ourselves, don't we? Nah, I am not obsessed with you. If anything it seems that you keep trying to bring me into these petty fights and I keep saying, "just drop it". I guess that in your mind my obsession refers to a response I made to a post where you called DeYoung a hypocrite. Guess what? That was a low blow. If you had called Tommy Shaw a hypocrite I would have called you on it too.

Finally, I don't understand how saying that Glen Burtnik sounds like Bryan Adams has anything to do with the price of tea in China. I bet a lot of people think Glen Burtnik sounds like Bryan Adams. Guess what, I also think that Glen Burtnik sounds like Joe Elliot of Def Leppard. Does that prove some vast consipiracy too?

My mum once told me that if you keep feeding snakes that will keep coming back. So, I am done speaking about any of this with you. I would ask that you do the same and we just try to coexist here, if that is not too much to ask.

Best wishes

Are these rhetorical questions, or do you genuinely want me to answer them? I ask because you made the question, then said to leave you alone and stop speaking about this with you.

OK< maybe not obsessed, more like fixated. It was the way you called me on it, not THAT you called me on it. You seem to have a lot of preconceived ideas about me for a newbie. Of course, I'm forgetting the 8 emails you received from all those who know and love me - and all that time you spent lurking and stuff.

I do appreciate you spelling hypocrite correctly, however.

No, that's just callled being tone deaf. He does have a great rock n roll scream, but it's not really Elliot's style.

But, "Raj," as you may or may not know, was a well-known troll who used many screen names and always mentioned that Glen was a Brian Adams wannabe. One of his trademarks. One of his screen names was AnnieO. Another was Dan_the_man. Surely, the others must have told you this in the emails. LOL

Very true (about the snakes). What I find most incredible about them is how easily they are able to hide.

Contrary to what it might seem, I'm not angry or bitter or delusional. I'm just not convinced of you based on what I have seen here and in the past. Call it experience. I realize there's a remote possibility I'm wrong, there always is when dealing with Internet people. As I said before, I'll leave it for now, and I certainly won't attack you without provocation.

[shaka]

And I thought Glen sounded like Joe Cocker.

(ducking and running)



And no, I don't really think that.

[NealIsGod]

Now the Journey board is getting along, and the Styx one has wars in each thread. Maybe you should look to the Journey board as an example on how to get along?
