How about playing one of the songs from the mission in the rotation? Nope, they play the same 250 songs over and over and over. they are just as bad as Fm radio.

Nope. Verifiable fact. Anything to the contrary is just delusion

This is called playing semantics. Sure the band's name never changed. But the bands personnel has. Over 50%. I don't count CP since his participation is so limited at this point.

Looking at it from a correct language perspective, there's no "version." Just the name Styx. Sam Walton is dead, but Walmart is still Walmart, right?

Well of course you don't subscribe to JY's "line of thinking", because it goes directly against your position. Nice try. But his position is more credible. I'll take the point from someone who is part of what we are talking about over a bystander. As far as your Walmart reference, Walmart isn't a musical act. You want to compare apples to oranges to support your position.

Thank you for pointing out that less then 50% of what comprised Styx through the majority of it's existence remains. Artists make up a band. The name itself doesn't. Again JY stated that this is a VERSION of Styx. That in itself implies this is NOT the same band and that an another one existed. It's straight from "the horses mouth" and you still debate the point.

If DeYoung had won the rights to the band name and was touring as Styx and JY and Tommy were touring as "the TS and JY band," would you then argue that Dennis DeYoung's band was Styx?

3 of the 4 surviving members play with Styx.
IMO Dennis is the TRUE superstar of the band BUT he is no longer with them. Also you can add that the ONLY two members to appear on EVERY Styx album are JY and Chuck. To my knowledge JY is the ONLY member to play live at EVERY Styx concert.
The Mission is an album that is 100% true to the Styx sound and name. Its a really good album performed by Styx.
Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera no longer play for the New York Yankees yet the Yankees are still playing tonight. Some say when they played it was the best rendition of the Yankees ever. Mickey Mantle & Lou Gerig may argue against that statement.
