Styx - Mr. Roboto

[bvincent]

Styx's Mr.Roboto is a fantastic track , and if you dont find yourself foot tapping or head banging and singing along your not human , this would be a great band song ... for those who have somehow gone through life without hearing this song , heres the youtube video of the song in question

That song was the beginning of the end and killed the Styx many of us grew up with and loved. I still don't know what Dennis DeYoung was smoking when he came up with that song.

Whatever it was, that is what really made Styx memorable to millions of people. He wanted to try going in this Rock opera direction, but Tommy and James didn't. Guess who was right in what people enjoyed?

This song wouldn't work for RB though, too much piano. Maybe "Renegade", "Sweet Madame Blue", or if you really would like to wait for guitar "Come Sail Away"

Funny how utter crap becomes memorable. A buddy of mine was at concert that Styx was a part of and they went into this "rock opera" if you will and the crowd nearly boo'd them off the stage. Now it was in Philly, the city that threw snowballs at Santa Claus but still.

There are much better candidates for Styx songs in RB than this. Check out the Styx thread for that discussion.
