Tommy has enough well known songs that he sang lead on, Styx can pull it off. Crystal Ball, Too Much Time on My Hands, Renegade, Blue Collar Man, Fooling Yourself, Boat On The River, etc. I had Lights on the B-Side of my "Best Of Times" 45 and Played it more than the A-side.

saw them in '91 on the edge of the century tour.the one time that tommy shaw was not in styx unfortunately.i think glen burtnik was in tommy shaw's place.it was in july of '91 and styx had a top ten single with 'show me the way'.i think styx was one of the few rock bands to have a top ten single in the 70's,80's and 90's.

Styx is still really good.. dunno if I'd say they miss nothing without DDY though. Ideally, I'd love to see DDY come back as a frontman and have Gowan play keyboards... hell, Dennis as a solo act employs a hired gun to play most of the keyboard parts nowadays, so I mean, what's the harm? I'm sure Gowan would go along with it.

70's--either dream on or walk this way
80's-walk this way with run dmc or angel
90's-a ballad off of get a grip or don't want to miss a thing
00's--jaded?

70's are right, both of them
80's are both right, just add two more, Love In An Elevator and Janie's Got A Gun
90's What It Takes along with DWTMAT. Cryin' off of Get A Grip came in at #12
00's right

22 Top 40's
9 Top 10's
1 #1
2 # 1 Albums
4 Grammy Awards

And one fugly lead singer.

You may feel LG is not great at the singing But others do.Love DDY and love to see them with him.But that will never happen again.Gowan is great at whatever he wants to do. I loved Styx for years but when DDY left not so hot.But then i saw this same concert and feel all again in love with Styx.They still kick major ass and even more with LG.You bet your ass i am a fan of LG. :D :wink: And when Styx comes close by i will be going to see them.TS is a Ala boy. :D :D
Styx & Gowan fan forever

DDY is one of the best vocalists in rock history. His voice today is a benchmark for other singers younger or older. He still sounds incredible. He has never struck me as being gay at all. (Is he gay? Doesn't he have a son?) ? ?

In any event, DDY is just an incredible singer. Has been for...ever.

Dennis is far from gay... he has been married to his high school sweetheart forever. And I truly think we will see Styx w/ DDY again before they all hang 'em up. I think that's a far more likely reunion than SP w/ Journey, especially since Tommy and Dennis have expressed sentiments of reuniting in interviews over the last few years. It's mostly between JY and DDY I think, at this point.

Cyclorama was an awesome album and so was 100 Years From Now (DDY's latest solo offering). I can't imagine how good an album would be at this point if they put their heads together one or two last times.

Yeah, and a very good keys player to boot. I think everyone wins if DDY comes back as mostly the singer/frontman and Gowan remains on the keys spinning around and doing crazy shit.

Actually, the only one who wins is Dennis. They would be touring a LOT less and making a lot less money...and Dennis would be back in control of everything. They both seem happy doing what they are doing so why mess with it?

This concert is a from a few years ago. It is also available on CD/DVd/Blu-ray.

I was at that concert... it was a disastrous night... it kept pouring on us. The actual live mix was terrible too, you couldn't hear the guitars or keyboards at all over the orchestra. Lead vox were weird too. And the kicker was stopping the show for 30 minutes while we were getting rained on to set up Christmas stage decorations in July to launch into two Christmas songs... very bizarre indeed, the DVD filming notwithstanding. Luckily, the DVD turned out great. You have a point regarding the sporadic touring. It would have to be done once TS, JY and co. finally burn themselves out on the road, probably as either once-off shows or one final, small tour with an orchestra.

Perry would have to put out something new for this to be a statement that can be argued...you can't compare the two....voice to voice currently.....hopefully that will change :wink:
