Old Enough to Forget

Styx is one of my favourite bands ever ... if I was to tick off on my left hand my top bands it would often run something like April Wine, PRISM, Styx, Toto and Cheap Trick. Depending on where I was on the curve, some of them would change, but Styx was pretty constant. I often forget SAGA, and when I remember I just add them to my list and pretend I have more fingers. It's a bit blurry now what I got first - I'm thinking it was the blue vinyl Best of Styx , a compilation of songs for their Wooden Nickel albums. It was a treasure to me, and when I lost it I was pretty bummed out. I've been looking for another copy. In my junior high school the band room had a great stereo and we were allowed to listen to records when on break. I remember hearing Styx's Grand Illusion , and later Pieces of Eight , there. I also remember someone bringing in a John Travolta record and having to sit through Razzamatazz - let's just say it didn't have the same positive impact the Styx...
