Both Man in the Wilderness (what a brilliant display by Tommy Shaw on that song) and Castle Walls are the very best two, I love the lyrics on Castle Walls as well. Of the early Styx albums I think The Serpent is Rising is the best but I still love the song "A Day" off the Styx II album with the long forgotten John Curulewski on vocals.
You scored a bunch here. Nobody remembers Styx I:) Me either.

Masque was a great as well. Two-cents, Icarus, Pinnacle, trying to remember the others.....oh well. Questions of my Childhood, Mystery and Mayhem.....:)

Kerry Livgren could write some epics. He was definitely aware, but, not aware as it goes.

It makes me wonder what kind, and, how much dope were all these great lyrics derived.

Kerry went away to church, and, that was the end of one of my favorites. Styx II....Father OSA. And, always loved 'You'd Better Ask'

peace

Three of the great songs off the B-side of the Grand Illusion, with each of Styx`s three vocalists James, Tommy and Dennis. The album cover was great as well.

I`m a geek and I remeber albums like Styx I really well;)

Kerry was special and I I always preferred his song writing to that of Steve Walsh (Steve was still a great writer though)

Kerry did go to church and as you say that really was the end of Kansas, they did put out one more great album though In the Spirit of Things in 1988 a concept album.

Maybe this thread should be renamed "The American Pomp Rock Thread"

I used to have Styx I, but, I don't remember it, and I gave all my LP's to my son! Kansas put out another album I really liked, but, I forget that too. Let me check:)

Somewhere to Elsewhere. I have it. I've listened to it maybe twice, but, I remember thinking it was back to their old sound. Was Kerry back on that album? It sounded like it I believe.

I listen to more newer stuff now. I just have to dust every now and then:)

The first four Styx albums are very much for Styx fans anyway, of which I think The Serpent is Rising easily the best of the first four albums.

I never thought Somewhere to Elsewhere to be any good despite the return to their classic 1970s line-up, but I last heard it about 5 years ago, I may think differently if I heard it again.

What is "logos"? I know what a logo is, but you seem to be using it in a different context.
