Styx's anthem to the American Worker

1. It's a shame that Dennis split from the band

One thing I always liked about Styx is that you had two distinct yet complimentary creative influences with Tommy and Dennis. And JY made his mark as well. Tommy had the more hard rock edged stuff like Blue Collar Man, Renegade, Too Much Time on My Hands and Dennis had the more pop and theatrical stuff like Come Sail Away, Best of Times, and Show Me the Way. The Kilroy was here/Mr. Roboto theatrical shows were admittedly a little ridiculous and certainly fodder to chuckle at a bit in retrospect, but it was a worthwhile experiment.

Queen was able to have multiple influences simultaneously and it never led to creative or ego differences that caused a split. But for some reason Tommy and Dennis just couldn't share.
