Styx has always been my favorite band, then I got into prog and questioned whether they were or not.  So it is hard for me to say what my favorite song is by them, but I'll have to go with "Queen of Spades" cause I never get sick of it. Other than that I really like "Suite Madame Blue" and "Mother Dear"


also I cannot believe that this poll exists on Prog Archives! Awesome.....

C'mon guys! Where's "Lady"?LOL

I don't care if it's not proggy at all: my faves are still "The Grand Illusion" and "Come Sail Away" Hug

I voted Serpent is Rising, primarily because I love a good apocalyptic song.  And I was a big Curalewski fan too.  I liked Tommy, but John was just downright bizarre and I think they missed him after Equinox. 
I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

I really like "Mr. Roboto" as well, haha, but I don't have a generation thing to explain that. Embarrassed

Fantastic poll, Styx is a very good band!! ClapClap

My favorite is "Fooling Yourself", but that's a tough decision. Seeing this poll (earlier) actually put me in a Styx mood and I just started listening to Crystal Ball right now. Big%20smile

Yesterday after midnight I started this poll but it was part of the lost material due to a hacker's attack.

So here it goes again, from my favorite song list, I  added an omission and it's "Sing for a Day". If you don't like any of my list, you have the other option.
 
Please explain why.
 
My vote goes again to the fantastic "Lights" due to the excellent vocal work, allso keep Fooling yourself as a close second.
 
Please, the syetem doesn't allow votes to be added so I will have to allow multiple votes so the ones who voted can do it again, PLEASE VOTE ONCE
 
Iván
