Don't throw Styx

[Joseph Brooks]

Well, I never did hear anyone stick up for Boston. And Motley Crue should be
despised just for stealing BOC's umlaut AND Kiss's makeup.. did they ever do
anything original?

                True, grew up in a neighborhood about 3 miles away from my
wife's old
                neighborhood.  Unless you count Tommy Shaw as a real memeber
of Styx.
                Believe Tommy hails from Alabama..."Go Tide!"

                Ah the conceptual stuff was ok, I like this band and used to
own several
                pieces of vinyl, at least 8, get it?

                Can we all work together and find a band universally
despised on this list?
                We gotta rip somebody...anybody...what about Boston? Motley
Crue?  LA Gunns?
                C'mon folks think about it.
