I thought about this incident recently and looked for a reference to it online, but, surprisingly, didn’t find one. It is one of the few times I heard Kansas...
I think that Styx was more progressive in their early days. Especially pre Equinox. There still was a touch of it in their later albums but I don't think as...

For what it's worth on the subject, I've met Bill Bruford a couple of times and had nothing but good, very positive experiences. I've heard that he can pull an...

In regards to BNW, I think that the band had intentions of making it like TS had commented. Then the bottom dropped out of the group. As I understand it...

There wasn't much AOR potential on Dennis' three '80s solo albums, particularly the latter two. ... Out of those three releases I think that DM had the best...
In some ways Styx getting signed with CMC was a good thing. After all, it was and is hard for bands like Styx to get record deals. It was also good for CMC...

You make allot of good points here. I think that there was pressure from CMC on the project. Then again since the songs from TS on it had a very 7DZ feel to...
On DM I think that this was a leaning project for DDY. He was trying to produce material that did not sound like Styx. I do like BC but I never thought that...
Ken, I got the new CD last week, and I can't stop listening to it. Dennis has really gone back to his roots... it's all classic Styx as far as I'm concerned...

It's a great album. Not only does it have elements of his style with Styx but his rock solo work as well. All the songs are well crafted and his voice is...
