Best STYX song?
Posted on 11/22/2020 7:40:42 PM PST by Bigtigermike
I’ve grown an affinity for them over the past few years and feel that while they’re know for decades, they are still greatly undervalued and under appreciated as a band especially with their mixture of different musical styles with synthesizers and organs
I like Renegade

Thank you. These types of competitions are purely subjective.
But there's always a clear winner regardless of the subject. For instance, the greatest rock song of all time is "Stairway To Heaven". As much as I love "Freebird" and "Smoke On The Water", nothing holds a candle to "Stairway".
Another example, the best breakfast cereal is clearly Lucky Charms. The competition is really for what's second best. Whether it be Frosted Flakes or Cap'n Crunchberries or Sugar Smacks.
Nobody can argue against Snickers being the best candy bar. The real argument over what is second best. Heath or 100 Grand or Almond Joy.
The best movie of all time is unquestionably "Casablanca". Too many other movies to list that might be second best.
But these are always fun to participate in.

Oh, Mama, I'm in fear for my life from the long arm of the law
Law man has put an end to my running and I'm so far from my home
Oh, Mama I can hear you a-cryin', you're so scared and all alone
Hangman is comin' down from the gallows and I don't have very long
The jig is up, the news is out
They've finally found me
The renegade who had it made
Retrieved for a bounty
Never more to go astray
This will be the end today
Of the wanted man
Oh, Mama, I've been years on the lam and had a high price on my head
Lawman said, 'Get him dead or alive.' Now it's for sure he'll see me dead
Dear Mama, I can hear you cryin', you're so scared and all alone
Hangman is comin' down from the gallows and I don't have very long
The jig is up, the news is out
They've finally found me
The renegade who had it made
Retrieved for a bounty
Never more to go astray
The judge will have revenge today
On the wanted man
Oh, Mama, I'm in fear for my life from the long arm of the law
Hangman is comin' down from the gallows and I don't have very long
The jig is up, the news is out
They've finally found me
The renegade who had it made
Retrieved for a bounty
Never more to go astray
This will be the end today
Of the wanted man
The wanted man
And I don't wanna go, oh, no
Oh, Mama, don't let them take me
No, no, no, I can't go
Hey, hey

That’s a blessing!!! And You’re not alone. I read a few comments from the YouTube comment section on that song where they said exactly the same thing you just wrote. Very impactful indeed

I had “lady” on a 45 on Wooden nickle records.
Lost interest in them fast after that.

In fact it’s a three-way tie, their cover of “Locomotive Breath” is very good also.

The morning DJ’s at Toledo’s FM104 WIOT got fired for talking naughty and were replaced by a pair from another local station. I knew who the replacements were and that they were out of their music, they weren’t rockers, by any means. I almost spilled my coffee when Staples introed a song—”And now, here’s Renegade...by (pregnant pause) Stikes?”

”And now, here’s Renegade...by (pregnant pause) Stikes?”That sounds so Les Nessman.

Forgot to say, the replacements lasted one day, and were summarily replaced by Bob & Tom, the guys who love to laugh at their own farts. Pass!

One of the more worthwhile non-political links I’ve seen posted on FR, ever.
Thanks!

Reminds me of my high school friend who was the biggest REO Speedwagon fan, until Hi Infidelity came out, and he swore he’d never listen to them again.
