btw I see some people now say Amozon counts again....what a joke!
No.... You are an embarassment.
JY is a SERIOUS embarassment. Talk about sour grapes/sore loser/jaded asshole. Unlike JY, people WANT to like Dennis... They hear JY talk ABOUT dennis and go "who the hell is this loser?". Why is that? Because people barely know JY's name in relation to Styx. Thats how bad it is for him.
If Styx had been on this show, you would be talking about it legitimized them.
And for the record, I never said Amazon counts - I said "for what it is worth". It's always a positive sign tho.
But frankly, you're a Styx Kool-aid drinker (or bathwater drinker as the case may be) so - it's not like I'm doing anything productive by pointing these things out.
From the bands, they picked THE VOICE that made those bands of what they were during their hey-day or are today. Dennis is THE VOICE of Styx. I love Tommy's music too, but Dennis' songs and songwriting is what made Styx on the map of success. Yes it was a combination of the band, that's a no-brainer, but it was Dennis who took them to the top.
Casual fans only know or can name Dennis and Tommy. Like I mentioned in a few posts, I'm on various music boards and those are the only 2 that are associated with Styx, they don't really know the others.
I still support DDY to a degree. I went to see his free show a few weeks ago. I bought his live CD. I watched him on TV last night. But in my opinion Current Styx is much better then current DDY. I will always be interested in what DDY does only because he was PART of what I liked about Styx. His tastes obviously have changed over the years and mine have not. I want new Styx songs that sound like the Styx I grew up on. DDY no longer is providing that where as JY and Tommy along with the other current members of Styx are! You can keep your 10 from Broadway. I’ll keep Cyclorama and the other new CDs to come.
