As Styx would say,
you're fooling yourself if you don't believe it.

I liked a couple of older Styx songs but they lost me around '79 with Cornerstone, then it was all downhill from there. Paradise Theater was awful, with the exception of Snowblind, which I like.

Well, comparing Styx to Rush is just asking for it. I have an idea for the next face off:

Well, most folks don't get as worked up about it as you. Neither band was as awful as some of you think at one time, but Rush should win in a landslide, but that is just my opinion.

Rush plays Styx covers when they get too drunk.

A friend of mine once said of "jazz": if you can't hum along with it, it ain't a song. I can hum along to a lot more Styx songs than Rush songs, though I never really cared for either band.
By coincidence, I recently spent a little time "You Tubing" songs by both bands, mainly LP tunes that did not get radio play. I did so because I wanted to see if I could figure out why each had rabid fan bases. I discovered that both bands are better than I gave them credit for, especially Styx.
However, I think Rush could have been an even greater superpower if they rocked straight out instead of meandering around. I was given a copy of Rush's first LP way back when the band was brand new. It's a pretty solid rock LP.

Seems to be the consensus opinion. And I agree.
