Hey!

Someone else who has mentioned Styx.

I'm not alone after all.

Pomp rock at its finest.

Bingley Hall 1981 - great show.

I remember it well: I had broken my ankle in three places playing football and had my leg in a full length cast so me and the boys were allowed to go up on that balcony that ran around the cow shed and watch the gig from there.

Bingley Hall 1981 - great show.

Last saw Styx, supporting Journey (and REO Binwagon) on a cruise out of Miami in 2004 ..... excellent gigs ....

Saw them about three or four years ago supporting Journey and Foreigner at Wembley - most enjoyable.

First time I saw them was actually 1980, two nights at the Hammersmith Odeon; nestled in between four Van Halen gigs. Ah, those were the days.

Good stuff there OB1 ..... LOVE the 'Smiff's Rocks album too ... ditto the Alice, my fave of his/theirs along with From The Inside ..... And great to see Starz!

I copied two of them from your list ;-)

I love Queen II too but it was Sheer Heart Attack that made my subs bench.

From The Inside is a really good album.

Going back to the subs bench, these ten were all contenders:

Sheer Heart Attack - Queen

Crime of the Century - Supertramp
Rising - Rainbow
Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd
Angel - Angel
Grand Illusion - Styx

Love that selection. So uncool it is cool.

I can't believe I did ten, then subs, and still didn't include any Ramones or Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers (Pre-Wilbury shite natch)
