Why on earth has Styx not been inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? 250 million albums sold and so many great hits! Amazing vocals and instrumentals. This band deserves it ...long overdue.
Watched you a long time, but inspite of it not being possible, you became much more lovier and sexier watching seeing your reaction to a song I grew up with! Never change!🌹
Seen Styx live a 10 years ago with my teenage son at that time. I pretty much had to drag him to that concert. Luckly they were playing at an amusement park .. Well the concert went on with REO speedwagon. He loved it and as we walked away he turned to me and said. Mom , those old men can rock LOL.. He caught an REO speedwagon drumstick. He still has it now and he is an adult now LOL.. Guess what the next concert at that park was Peter Frampton and he was so happy to go LOL
Old guy speaking here. I use to think of this music as "My music" from my time. But a classic has enduring quality. So it pleases me to see a young person like you enjoying this. It's not "my music" anymore, it's our music.
Wow, you nailed it again girl, bringing back all those wonderful memories, thanks for that, this is one of the most beautiful songs in their collection but all their music has the same high quality.
I look to the sea, Reflections in the waves spark my memories; I picture him as an older man seeing himself as old and he is reminded of fond past memories.
2 lead vocalists, 2 lead guitarists, great band! This one written & sung by Dennis DeYoung. Tommy shaw is the other singer and one of the lead guitarists!
I really liked this album, and this song kind of metaphorically encapsulated the entire album's theme: how they had seemed to achieve their dream of fame and stardom, only to find out it wasn't the terrifically awesome trip they'd expected it to be. This band would know that, only too well, after all the trials they'd gone through - with the producers, with the management, and even with EACH OTHER!
I’ve seen STYX in concert three (3) times. Once at an arena and the other two times (literally) in my backyard (clubhouse tennis court). I saw the band at the golf course parking lot on a golf cart. They waved to me. They still tour and ROCK!
Great band. Great song. Great guitar WORK. Love me some STYX Saw these guy's back in the day. Awesome band to see live. Thank you for sharing this. Rock on 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
One of the few songs that my dad openly stated that he liked as it played on the radio in the early 80's. He's turns 88 on April 14th, 2020 and was a Navy Veteran of the Korean War. Basically just a shout out to my Dad in his twilight years.
Late 70's early 80's music you can tell was geared to headphones, especially when you get that sound coming and going and seeming to swim around in your head! In the day of walkmans, it helped sell the music! I still love listening to some of that music through headphones as opposed to speakers, although surround sound can do some songs some justice.
That's reminded me of "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" (1977) and this song came out on 7/7/77 and 4 months later movie came out on 11/16/77! AMAZING!!!!!
Our HS girls dance class would have a "Jazz Dance" recital each year, and three upper-class girls did an interpretive dance to this song. In blue leotards. I was a freshman working in the sound booth. It was ... educational. I'm basically Sam from Freaks and Geeks. I was class of '84 and so would he have been had the show lasted. This song was four years old when the girls danced to it. It still resonated. Music lasted a lot longer. Movies stayed waaay longer in the theaters too. Star Wars played in some cities for over a year in theaters if I'm not mistaken.
Styx is the Greek goddess that ruled the river of the same name, FYI. I love the song Come Sail Away and think it is one of their best. Beautiful and full of imagery and mood changes.
I have always had a very emotional reaction to this song. Beautiful as it is, it's hard to listen to for me. But thank you for this reaction video. Beautiful reaction from a beautiful lady. :)
My eyes well up at the part about childhood friends..I was extremely introverted as a child and didn't have human friends, and so I think of (childhood dogs)....and since they are gone from this world now, I just cannot listen to this without losing my composure...your caring expression as you listened did help me to smile even though I felt sadness.
As mentioned before. I think you would probably like the song LADY. I would also add a couple more songs for you. FOOLING YOURSELF (Angry young man) and CASTLE WALLS. Fooling Yourself may be my personal favorite from their Grand illusion album.
So many people seem to pass over one of the best ‘story’ albums from the 80’s ... Paradise Theatre. All the songs were written about a theatre and the time period and it’s amazing!
I only knew this song because of Cartman singing it on an episode of South Park that was so funny to me for some reason LOL I love that you always include background info on the songs too - really cool!! Great reactions
Grand Illusion, the album this track is on, is chock FULL of great songs. Some of the best are ones that weren't really played much on the radio. Man in the Wilderness and Castle Walls are so excellent! Thanks for reviewing Styx!
Yes India... Styx, pernouned Stick's. Is named after a river in Hades. This Chicago based band graced us with their presence from 1973 to 1983,. Their first national hit, entitled " Lady" was their claim to fame, catapulting them into the national spotlight. My favorite Styx tune came off their last album in 1981.( Rocking The Paradise.) A song entitled " Half Penny Two Penny." But sometime around November 79, Styx came out with what proved to be one of their greatest hits yet. A love song entitled; " Babe" " Renegade," was one of their songs you heard in all the dance clubs all through the 80s and 90s. Right up there with Led Zeppelin's " Trampled Under Foot." And Eddie Money, " Two Tickets to Paradise." To get more of a feel for their sound that made them famous, I would like to ask you to play the Styx LIVE video. " Lady." LIVE in Los Angeles. March 4th 2006.
The back and forth represents the history of the band members with Dennis De Young wanting to play music like the song started, but the rest of the band wanting to play rock and roll. Finally they weren't able to agree and let Dennis go.
That was talent at its best! Great 70' and 80's!
You don't hear songs like this anymore. Simple, rythmic and an instant classic.
I love the smile it brought you. That was joy right there. :)
Love this song! I love Babe from Styx...nice love song
Why on earth has Styx not been inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? 250 million albums sold and so many great hits! Amazing vocals and instrumentals. This band deserves it ...long overdue.
Watched you a long time, but inspite of it not being possible, you became much more lovier and sexier watching seeing your reaction to a song I grew up with! Never change!🌹
Great song. I like Styx. The mystical river we supposedly takke to the land of the dead.
You can’t go wrong with Styx. The Grand Illusion is my favorite album. 💓
Don't forget Madam Blue, Miss America, Renegade.
Seen Styx live a 10 years ago with my teenage son at that time. I pretty much had to drag him to that concert. Luckly they were playing at an amusement park .. Well the concert went on with REO speedwagon. He loved it and as we walked away he turned to me and said. Mom , those old men can rock LOL.. He caught an REO speedwagon drumstick.

This one and "Paradise Theatre."
I like Crystal Ball the best.
eveytime i here this song it reminds me of time in the navy/god bless you all !
India once again I seen Styx live in concert 3 *and they never disappoint very very good band you have a great night India take care
Old guy speaking here. I use to think of this music as "My music" from my time. But a classic has enduring quality. So it pleases me to see a young person like you enjoying this. It's not "my music" anymore, it's our music.
Don Shaffer well said.
Here is Soviet Russia everything is ours.
this the most iconic song of all time. by one of the greatest bands of all time yep. its Dennis Deyoungs lyrics, just amazing
Wow, you nailed it again girl, bringing back all those wonderful memories, thanks for that, this is one of the most beautiful songs in their collection but all their music has the same high quality.
Looking Good GIRL!
A great classic song
Styx.....Renegade, Queen of Spades, Man in the Wilderness
I look to the sea, Reflections in the waves spark my memories; I picture him as an older man seeing himself as old and he is reminded of fond past memories.
That sound going in one ear and out the other was called an ARP. Pretty new back then but it quickly caught on after this song.
Styx "Suite Madame Blue"...Nuff Said... Happy Out >>>>
Always!
Lorelei
That is a great song.
Great Song, Great Band, Great Era
One of my favorites from Styx 👍💞
Love Styx, you may want to try BABE by Styx. You won't be disappointed!
oh i think she likes it!...its nice to see hope in the reaction ..:) love is written on your face:)
Nice to see people react to this song, since it is in my top 10 songs of all time list.
Yours and mine both!
Great song
2 lead vocalists, 2 lead guitarists, great band! This one written & sung by Dennis DeYoung. Tommy shaw is the other singer and one of the lead guitarists!
Styx was one of my favorite bands in the 70's and 80's.
Mr. Roboto is a must listen to!
I really liked this album, and this song kind of metaphorically encapsulated the entire album's theme: how they had seemed to achieve their dream of fame and stardom, only to find out it wasn't the terrifically awesome trip they'd expected it to be. This band would know that, only too well, after all the trials they'd gone through - with the producers, with the management, and even with EACH OTHER!
They would later revisit this theme with the album, "Pieces of Eight."
I’ve seen STYX in concert three (3) times. Once at an arena and the other two times (literally) in my backyard (clubhouse tennis court). I saw the band at the golf course parking lot on a golf cart. They waved to me. They still tour and ROCK!
AHHHHHHH, the songs of my generation always had meaning
Great band. Great song. Great guitar WORK. Love me some STYX
Saw these guy's back in the day. Awesome band to see live. Thank you for sharing this. Rock on
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Saw them live three times. Just the best!
And never inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame yet! So wrong.
This one of those genius cant be wrtten better songs
One word....One song...."Lady"...
Recent new subscriber....love your channel. Great to see younger generation carrying on with great music. Good luck and thanks!
You need to hear Babe from Styx.
This song brings back memories. @India you have a beautiful smile and you looked very happy and satisfied. Great reaction.
One of the few songs that my dad openly stated that he liked as it played on the radio in the early 80's. He's turns 88 on April 14th, 2020 and was a Navy Veteran of the Korean War. Basically just a shout out to my Dad in his twilight years.
love how clear it sounds - great song

Each year I get older, the more relevant this song becomes. Regret. Sorrow. Longing for youth to start over and make things right.
Our HS girls dance class would have a "Jazz Dance" recital each year, and three upper-class girls did an interpretive dance to this song. In blue leotards. I was a freshman working in the sound booth. It was ... educational. I'm basically Sam from Freaks and Geeks. I was class of '84 and so would he have been had the show lasted.

Excellent song! It was my first album lol
"I think of childhood friends and the dreams we had." ... Chokes me up every time.
Saw this band live in the late 70’s, such a great show
Me too! Then I saw them again in Fort Worth, Texas several years ago. They sounded just like their album...sheer perfection... 40 years later.
Prom circa 1978 or so.....also used in the pilot episode of the TV show Freaks and Geeks at the end perfectly.....such good memories of those times...
This song has been in a lot of classic movies
"boat on the river" will always be my favorite. "Lights" and "why me" are good too.
That moment when you realize this song was talking about aliens.
Lol.. "It's not aliens.. but it's aliens."
"For Real!" with a Z on the end.
Bahahahahaha
@@statesrights01 ... Thanks Georgio.
😄
If you believe this song was talking about aliens .... man you're smoking some weird shit !
I have always had a very emotional reaction to this song. Beautiful as it is, it's hard to listen to for me. But thank you for this reaction video. Beautiful reaction from a beautiful lady. :)
Ah Styx..... Wonderful memories
This was a monster radio hit in the late '70's....
My eyes well up at the part about childhood friends..I was extremely introverted as a child and didn't have human friends, and so I think of (childhood dogs)....and since they are gone from this world now, I just cannot listen to this without losing my composure...your caring expression as you listened did help me to smile even though I felt sadness.
One of the first 45 rpm records i bought. A classic song by a great band.
There seems to be a huge trend on TH-cam of my brothers and sisters of color diving into some serious Anglo rock. It's kind of cool . . .
Because these were the times of clear, meaningful lyrics, great vocals, and amazing instrumentals!
Great music is universal. This Anglo listens to SOME rap/hip hop.
Love Styx!
Nice review. Great song. Maybe my favorite Styx song. Hard to say since they have so many great songs.
😢🤗😀❤️👍 all the feels. This one always gets me.
More Styx: Mr. Roboto;Too Much Time on My Hands; Renegade; The Grand Illusion; Lady; and many more.
And The Best of Times!
I suggested “Lady” for sure! Believe she’ll really feel that one! So many great ones!
One of the best rock anthems period.
Great song! You are beautiful too!!
Hey girl! Styx has MANY great songs/hits! Please react to “Lady” by them! I think you’ll really be feeling that one for sure! 😉. ❤️🤘🏼✌️
As mentioned before. I think you would probably like the song LADY. I would also add a couple more songs for you. FOOLING YOURSELF (Angry young man) and CASTLE WALLS. Fooling Yourself may be my personal favorite from their Grand illusion album.
So many people seem to pass over one of the best ‘story’ albums from the 80’s ... Paradise Theatre. All the songs were written about a theatre and the time period and it’s amazing!
One of my favorite road trip songs, roll down the windows and crank it
I only knew this song because of Cartman singing it on an episode of South Park that was so funny to me for some reason LOL I love that you always include background info on the songs too - really cool!! Great reactions
HorrorGal me too haha!
Grand Illusion, the album this track is on, is chock FULL of great songs. Some of the best are ones that weren't really played much on the radio. Man in the Wilderness and Castle Walls are so excellent! Thanks for reviewing Styx!
This song was my grandpa's favorite song before he died
Crystal Ball, Fooling Yourself, Man in the wilderness, or Sweet Madem Blue are top notch Styx songs.
Amazing 😎
A very talented band. Excellent live shows. ☮️
Oh! No doubt! I saw their Grand Illusion tour about a million years ago.
@@deannacrownover3 excellent tour. ☮️
Brings back memories, Grad 78 theme song.
AYE!...I thought about how this would sound while driving around in a 70s Chevy van
Wonderful artistry...
That's how my generation did it.
Oh! Also “The best of times” as well as “Lady”. Pleease!! You won’t regret! ❤️🤘🏼✌️
Yes India... Styx, pernouned Stick's. Is named after a river in Hades.

I like what you do please continue
Love it!!!
Your hair looks great.
You pronounced it right. Very cool song. Definitely need to do Renegade by Styx.
I love your reactions India...You have the soul of a poet...
Great song. Underated band. Alien road trip
Prom theme song !!
Styx? This truly is Hell!
My favorite band!
One of the best rock songs EVER
Haven’t heard that song in a long time. Good one ☝️
My first love,slow dance and kiss will never forget that summer in my best friends basement.
What a cool tune awesome drumming!! Fantastic!
I love this so much.
A classic song. Great reaction!
I haven't heard that song in a long time.
Reminds me of REO, 'Roll with the Changes' 👍🍰
very cute. good reaction.
Another great song that tells a surprising story is Silent Running by Mike + The Mechanics. I can see everything that happens as the song goes on.
The back and forth represents the history of the band members with Dennis De Young wanting to play music like the song started, but the rest of the band wanting to play rock and roll. Finally they weren't able to agree and let Dennis go.
I love that song, good job!
Very nice reaction, Styx is an amazing group. The next time you react to Styx react to ( Man in the wilderness). Keep bringing the reactions.
Sometimes it makes no sense at all... :D
Another good Styx song would be "Suite Madam Blue"
