And actually, if you think about it, Tommy owed Dennis one, for Dennis sticking his neck out for him back in 1983 at the end of the Kilroy tour, when Tommy Shaw quit. J.Y. and the Panozzo brothers wanted to just plug someone in Shaw's place and go on, but Dennis was completely against it, because he felt that the era from Crystal Ball-Kilroy was Here was the prime of Styx, he felt that plugging someone in Tommy Shaw's place was a mistake.

@mrroboto5785 Exactly. When Tommy left, Glen Burtnik came in and was a fantastic filler for them on the Edge Of The Century album, but the second Tommy wanted back in there was a place reserved with his name on it.

Aku Aku could go on for another ten minutes longer, and i would love every second of it! Beautiful Instrumental.

I would just like to point out that 100 Years from Now is NOT a concept album, it is straight up rock and it more than proves the mistake Tommy and James made by kicking Dennis out, this would have made an AWESOME Styx album.

Over the decades that followed the 1970's music (including rock n roll) was slowly dumbed down until its miserable death in the 00's. We got used to "three-chord monty" bands to the point where it numbed us. True, the corporate controlled state has killed much of the passion and creativity that's needed to produce great and enduring music, and we tend to fall in line with the status quo. However, for those of us old enough, we know what it was like when there was still the magic in music.

@duhzzzz Thanks!!!!!

@gdasher We know you're a Family Guy watching Atheist who buys what Seth MacFarlane says about Dennis DeYoung. You're a KISS Army loving sheep. Dennis was Styx. Lawrence Gowan replacing Dennis was reminiscent to Ray Wilson replacing Phil Collins in Genesis. Thank Christ that Genesis stopped when the fans spoke up and hated Calling All Stations. Gowan sounds like a bastardized Chris De Burgh and acts like the bastard child of David Coverdale and Keith Emerson. You also said you are Atheist.
