I like Styx. I don't love them but I do like them. The Grand Illusion is their only album I have though.

Now there's one album that nobody is likely to recommend, and that's Kilroy was Here. It's rather far from being a prog masterpiece, but I still love it. I thnk the 2.06 it got is rather harsh, to me it's closer to 3. I love Mr. Roboto for being a very good prog pop song, High Time is also a good song, and Heavy Metal Poisoning is just mad. Just Get Through This Night is the closest thing to prog, in a rather 80's pop with traces of prog style.
All in all, with an open mind, it's rather nice to listen to it, especially after a real prog concept album's crushing weight.

'Don't Let It End' is miles better than 'Babe'.  And I gave Kilroy a 2 star review coz I thought I'd be banished from the archives if I gave it a 3 Embarrassed..........       A 'guilty pleasure' you may call it, although I think the horn arrangement in 'High Time' is dopey........... oh, I just remembered something - the last 30 secs or so of 'Cold War' reminds me of 'Planets' era Eloy.
