***Outback Steak House***"

Actually, Styx was mainly a harmony rock back from the '70s. "Come Sail Away" was from 1977 and they released their last album in their original incarnation in 1983 (Kilroy Was Here). They resurfaced briefly in the '90s and then became a retooled touring band without the heart of the band (Dennis DeYoung)in the 2000s.

Spoken like a true Chicago area guy. :)

Good: Very comfortable, and welcoming after a long day.
Bad: Falling asleep in them when intending to rest just for a second, and have a million other things to do.

****The Moon****

P.S. I like Styx. I thought they wre a pretty decent band.

LOL... didn't mean to interrupt the thread... but Styx was my favorite band in grade school, and the pinnacle of my years as a music critic was when Dennis DeYoung invited me to his house to hear some new material he'd recorded with a reunion of the band.

I'll continue with "Moon" in an appropriate manner:

Good: "Desert Moon" was a promising Top Ten first solo single from Dennis DeYoung in 1984 after Styx broke up.

Bad: It was also his only Top Ten single.

I put Styx in there while listening to Paradise Theater, my fave of theirs. I have a soft spot for them (especially with them being local), but the tunes have not aged well. VERY overly dramatic. But that was DeYoung.

Thanks for the Styx lesson. My husband likes them but I've never cared for them. In high school my band did a performance to "Come Sail Away." Maybe that's why I think they're an '80s band. I had no idea that that song was from the '70s.

Lori, I know you had to mortgage your house to eat at Outback, but it's worth it. I think I love Lonestar better, though. I get the salmon at both places.
