    I’m referring to the clash of fashions at that time, as partially seen in this very music video. This is one of my favorite Styx songs and I love both 70s and 80s music. I was in 5th grade when this came out. Early 80s rock/pop music was the first music that I listened to seriously, and there was a lot of 70s hard rock music still lingering on the radio back then.

    Daniel Katzenjammer My parents bought me plenty of corduroy fashions for school and church wear back then. For some reason, I don’t think those threads made me very popular with my friends back then, and I don’t think they even came back into fashion in later days! 🤷‍♂️ 😄

    Because critics know that youth music tastes, for the most part, are rebellious. If a band is obviously talented, rebellion against critic sells albums by word of mouth more than radio play (but NOT more than Mtv in the 80's). All bands that got big by word of mouth were "hated" by critics (Rush, Iron Maiden, Kiss). All bands that got big by radio play, the critics "loved" AC/DC, Elton John etc...

    ⁠@@bobpierce115, I agree that the RARHOF is very “political”, but it is still an honor to get the nomination and be inducted. Bands like Def Leppard and Journey never thought they’d get in, but the fan vote put them both over the top, and they both accepted, not really for themselves, but for their fans. And I’m pretty sure Styx’s fans would put them over the top as well!

    ‘80s music videos had a way of being quite corny for their time, but I think part of that is because the medium was relatively new and growing in popularity (well, promo films for singles had been around since the 1960s, but it took the rise of MTV in the early 1980s for the music video to become a widely viewed form of promoting a single), so music videos had to be either straightforward or very memorable. This one was more on the fun side in concept, while sticking with the traditional performance video for at least part of the video. It’s really interesting, at least I think so, to study music videos of the late ‘70s and early ‘80s and compare and contrast them with more recent videos.

    I love Styx. They are great rockers. I got to see these guys at Washington Missouri back in 2019 for the first time. Now they are coming back to St Louis in June and I plan on seeing them. One of my favorite albums from them is the Grand Illusion Album. I maybe 34 years old but they have the best damn music in rock history. Keep on rocking Styx. You guys are amazing people. Keep making albums. We want more music from all you guys. You guys rock the stage for everyone around the world

    I feel like everyone has to clap...like you can't fully enjoy the song unless you clap. I even clap when I'm driving. Lol

    My Mom's been a fan of them since the beginning. We'll be seeing them live in just under two hours, alongside John Waite and Foreigner. Can hardly wait!
