Paradise is a great song as well, but Dear John is more sad than great... though I am not saying it's a bad song at all. I always wondered why Tommy wrote that song instead of DDY. Dennis knew him a lot longer and was in a band with him a lot longer. Maybe it was just too close to home for him to do. Anyways, those a great songs from an awesome souvenir type album. Still, it really bums me out for what might have been.

I also felt that Paradise could have been a top 5 song had it been released back around Styx's primetime. Dear John was also very good. All 3 of Styx's new songs off of Return To Paradise were EXCELLENT. Add Little Suzie, It Takes Love and the song that Dennis & Glen performed together on their tour and you would of had the makings of a #1 album.

My feeling exactly. They could have kept that train rolling, but it seemed recording a new studio album was too much.

What was too much was that Chuck stabbed Dennis in the back. Nice to know that you can count on your partners that were with you from the start.

It is a bit surprising that Chuck would continue with Styx without Dennis. He, John and DDY formed the band for crying out loud. Even JY is technically "not" an original member. They added Curulewski and were Tradewinds and then TW4... meaning four members. It is a stab in the back.

It is a shame since it seems it was Chuck's vote that sealed Dennis' fate. I would think that hurt Dennis more then any other aspect of the break up.

And I'm sure when Dennis tried to prevent Chuck's name from being on BNW because he was so sick at that time he couldn't get through sessions Chuck thought that was cool.

Interesting, I never got to read his book except for some sample pages on line. I could see where that would not sit well with Chuck. But honestly, if he had no involvement with the project then I can somewhat see Dennis' point.

You only retain 20% of what you read. And I believe you are a woman so it's probably about 5%
