Of the other bands mentioned I love Boston and Kansas but not crazy on REO despite having some of their albums. But Styx were the best band of the bunch. |
yeah, you picked my top two anyway. Man in the Wilderness, and Castle Walls. Grand Illusion isn't my favorite. I just picked in for the post. No Equinox, or Styx II. Both were excellent as well.
And Kansas is on the very short list. They were my favorite for a while. Leftovertue is probably still my favorite album of all time
I'm going youtube one for me and you
I'm woven in a fantasy
I can't believe the things I see
The path that I have chosen
Has led me to a wall
And with each passing day
I feel a little more
Like something dear was lost
It rises now before me
A dark and silent barrier between
All I am
And all that I would ever want to be
It's just a travesty
Towering
Marking off the boundaries my spirit
Would erase
To pass beyond is what I seek
I fear that I may be too weak
And those are few
Who've seen it through
To glimpse the other side
The promised land is waiting
Like a maiden
That is soon to be a bride
The moment is a masterpiece
The weight of indecision's in the air
It's standing there
The symbol and the sum of all that's me
It's just a travesty
Towering
Blocking out the light and blinding me
I want to see
Gold and diamonds cast a spell
It's not for me, I know it well
The riches that I seek
Are waiting on the other side
There's more that I can measure
In the treasure of the love that I can find
And though it's always been with me
I must tear down the wall and let it be
All I am
And all that I was ever meant to be
In harmony
Shining true and smiling back
At all who wait to cross
There is no loss
My favorite song of all time
peace
