EQUINOX
CRYSTAL BALL
GRAND ILLUSION

These guys should already be in. NOT the freakshow they've become, either. Their classic lineup when most vocals were done by Dennis DeYoung and less Tommy Shaw.

Ok, I just read the review that said Karma keeps these guys out until Dennis is back in. YES. I AGREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your review made my day!
*************************************************** ***************************
GREAT muscianship, OUTSTANDING vocal performances, and just really talented songwriters. I refer to all albums done prior to Kilroy. Although Kilroy broke ground for it's time....

Their best songs tended to be album tracks, actually. In my mind, Melodic AOR with a progressive edge=Styx, and they were fantastic!

pretty freakin' good band EQUINOX their best LP

James Young should get in, because he straight up rocked. The others, not so much.

  I have seent hem live 3 times, all be it not with the original line-up, but they do not belong in.

They were an average rock band like most arena rock bands of the 70s.  See: Foreigner, Boston, Frampton etc.

styx r 4 kidz

good, not great

Karma will let them in when they let Dennis back in! ! !

Until then, Tommy and crew . . . . NO HALL FOR YOU! ! !

they had A#1 album and single as well as a bunch of either immortal Song(renegade too much time and lady) as well as highly played wtf arent they in

i would support styx being admitted without dennis de young. his contributions to the band simply sucked.

Styx Stynks!

Wow, the band that gave us Mr. Roboto, being inducted.....  They are ok, but they probally won't be in there for quite awhile.

2nd string band, in a league with Kansas, Foreigner.
Won't happen for them.

yeah i guess so

Why the hell are they any where near this list

3 chord band

I contiue to be amazed by the utter ignorance of people who do not feel Styx belongs in the Hall of Fame.

If a group changes the way music is perceived, or introduces a new genre, or is even voted the most popular rock group of a year, or holds the record for 1st rock group to have 4 consecutive double platinum albums... should be in.

I was never ever a big Styx fan. Their music just plainly grated on me. The final straw was Roboto...annoying, petty, bloated, did I mention annoying? I'm sure there are those of you who would defend their right to be in the Hall though. I won't begrudge you that, look at some of the other questionable stuff that has been voted in and that which has never been considered. So how credible is the inductees forum? Not very in my book.

Tuff call, some great momenst and some not great. maybe after Deep Purple are honoured.

Styx quality of music got worse with each new album. If they had stopped recording after the Paradise Theatre album, I'd say they were borderline for the Hall. Now...

Mr Roboto alone should keep them banned for life.

Styx, Journey, Kansas, REO etc -- No, No, No, No . . .

Mr. Roboto, Cleveland called, you are not getting in. WELCOME TO THE GRAND ILLUSION! Actually it was my favorite 8 track of all (Grand Illusion is).

A very professional group with greats songs, always diferent, always with something new, they play an open rock with energy, the music need more groups like STYX. Thanks STYX for the music, we allways with you. Give us more.

The best known line up, Panzo, Panzo, DeYoung, Shaw and Young, is the band that should go into the hall fame. One of the best bands to hear live but I would not go to a show with out Dennis.

This band deserves the world, theyre a group of talented musicians that fit the criteria and love what they do.

Styx is incredible. They may not have been the first (YES I believe was before them), but they were very innovational with the keyboard and synthesizers...they definatley have their part in R&R history.

I've grown to like Too Much Time On My Hands because the jabronies keep playingit on the bar jukebox but overall this band is a Joke! No way!

Good band with above-average vocals and lyrics. Too Much Time on My Hands, Mr. Roboto and Come Sail Away are my top favorites.

Great band. Awesome music. Wonderful performance/concerts. They definately deserve a place in the hall of fame.

This Chicago band sure deserves a place in The Hall. What a band, the combination of vocals (Dennis DeYoung, the ballads - Tommy Shaw, the pop/rock songs & James Young, the rock songs) no wonder that Brian Wilson is a big fan of Styx. The Prog/Symfo/AOR music of Styx is timeless. They deserve their place but I think it's A Grand Illusion.

queen wannabees but still desent don't deserve

Deserving-yes. Will they be inducted-no. Corporate rock bands will never be recognized by the RRHF because the Hall is too political and conservative.

Not a great band in any stretch. They are one of the reasons people don't take music seriously. one of the cheesiest live rock bands. Even Shaw made fun when he left the group. I hope they never make it. And I actually have one of their cd's.

I've always believed that Styx was a band who made music that was ahead of its time. Their music is great, and the shows they put on are awesome! They've more than earned their place in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!

Most underrated bands of all time. Great singers, great song writers and great musicians. Regardless of how you feel about the current line-up, this band still rocks and can actually sing and play real instruments.

They had 4 triple platinum albums in a row and to this day, have one of the most loyal fan bases ever. Just because a few stuffed-shirts don't want to acknowledge Styx's achievements, doesn't mean they don't deserve the recognition.

They've earned it, they deserve it.

thats what made american rock in the 70s and early 80s suck in a big way...yak

Another cheesy band that appealed to mostly adolescent kids thinking they were so cool listening to a rock band. Yeah, I was one of those kids. Luckily I outgrew this trash and developed some taste.

Styx is the stuff of late-night comedians. No way. Lady is simply too awful for words.

Lady, Light Up, Suite Madame Blue, Crystal Ball, Mademoiselle, Fooling Yourself, Come Sail Away, Renegade, Blue Collar Man, Lights, Babe, Borrowed Time, Best of Times, Too Much Time On My Hands, Snowblind, Mr Roboto, Don't Let It End, Show Me The Way, Everything Is Cool, One With Everything!

Styx, like most progressive rock bands, should get their place in the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame anytime in the near and foreseeable future.

They sold 4 platinum albums in a row and are very talented song artists. They deserve to be in the Hall of Fame!

One more band from the 70s who might as well be forgotten.They made one or two good songs,but I can't even remember those very well.
