Just looking at the list of "The Worst American Late 70s Band" brings a smile to my face!
Because just taking the very best album imo by each artist gives me the following: Kansas- The Point of Know Return Journey- Frontiers Boston- Boston Styx- Pieces of Eight Foreigner- Foreigner 4 Now as far as I'm concerned, those albums rank amongst some of the very best American AOR/Prog albums recorded from the late 1970s to early 1980s. I own all five of them and would put all of them with the exception of the Foreigner album in a greatest albums ever list. In fact I could easily add another couple of Styx, Kansas and Boston albums to that list as well.

His first solo album is an absolute classic.

I had the Foreigner argument the other day and I started naming off songs and people were amazed how huge their discography was and how many great songs were written by Foreigner. Boston really only touched me with a few songs but More then a feeling and Peace of Mind are epic 70's stadium rock. With regards to Kansas I think I agree with Howard Wayward son and Dust are about it for what I can listen to and only after a few beers at a bbq or party. Styx was never my thing. They certainly had talent but it isn;t my kind of talent I prefer to listen to. Mr Roboto? ****ing horrible. I think I like Best of Times and a few off that album, but I could never get past their over use of dynamics. So yeah Styx is definitely worst on this list by a longshot. |

Mr.Roboto was the song that got me mad on Styx in the first place.

I've often wondered if you're really "machine or mannequin" and I know you're really made up of "parts from Japan"

I love these polls, Styx are top of the poll and proving that they're the best band here.
