Ratings key: 
10 - One of your very favorite artists of all time.
9 - Killer fucking band.  Or artist.
8 - Great sound, great songs, great albums.
7 - Very good, but not quite great.
6 - Pretty good.  More than a few songs you like.  You'd entertain the thought of seeing them live if they were in the area.  Or still alive.
5 - They're okay, but maybe not something you'll go out of your way to listen to.
4 - Meh.  There may be a song or two, or an album that you dig, but you'd rather listen to other stuff.
3 - Not very good.  You will more likely than not turn the station if they come on the radio.
2 - Not your cup of tea at all.  Some people like this, but you are not one of them.
1 - Horrible in every way.
0 - In the running for worst artist/musician of all time.  You would rather take a cheese grater to your face than listen to this.

7/10. Styx has good music but I don’t listen to them much.

Seen them a few times, Blue Collar Man is a fucking banger. Very solid 7 from me.

Went for a 5. I wouldn't seek them out, but I'll leave the station alone if they come on the radio.

Strangely enough, I prefer Dennis Deyoung's solo stuff.

I voted 7, but in hindsight I probably should have voted 6. They're okay.

I gave em a ten. One of my favorite bands, partially for sentimental reasons. Wife and I used to play em and sing along when we were dating.

Come Sail Away, is the only song I really dig.. Although Mr. Roboto has a certain cheesy charm that makes it fun

The Styx II album was terrific. The rest of their output is kinda spotty, so I gave them a 7.

I voted 8. If people ever select "Silliness", I'd love to hear discussion over The B-52s.

Meh. Def a couple hits but I'll usually change the station. Dude's voice gets on my nerves.

Solid 6-7.

Did somebody mention Ween? (not that they'd do well in this type of polling)

You never know.  I personally didn't think ABBA or Styx would do well *shrug*

People think I'm joking when I say this, but their '12 Golden Country Greats' album is the reason I got into older country music.

If it was just Dennis DeYoung lead songs I'd give them a 5 the Tommy Shaw lead ones are closer to a 7 to me so a 6 overall. I actually saw them in 1999 because my mom got tickets and someone couldn't make it so I got to go instead.



though the opening act of Pat Benitar from that concert I actually liked a bit better.

-------------------------
If you have any GBA signage or kiosk I would be interested. Please send me a PM because I'm only here about once a month now but I'm still VERY interested in large system signage or small playable kiosks related to the GBA.
