Styx has many better songs, but it's still a good song with some great melodies. Yeah, the robot thing is a bit hokey (or a lot hokey :lol:), but it seems to have held up well enough with the public to where even a Dennis DeYoung-less Styx now plays it every night (after ignoring it for nearly 20 years) because they know fans want to hear it.
 
The sad thing is my ex-father-in-law liked this album (Kilroy Was Here) so I heard it in its entirety several times — this and the other single (Don’t Let It End) are masterpieces compared with the other tracks. What dreck. And I like 1975-81 Styx for the most part.
 
I think the whole "paradise theater" arc they were trying to do would have been interesting if made by a "bigger" band. It was like a "genesis/Pink Floyd" level theme that never got fleshed out and then Mr. Roboto went too far the other way. Denis DeYoung played at a conference I went to (before his wife passed) and I was surprised how many songs I remembered and loved.
 
I was never a huge fan but I saw that tour at City Center in NYC in '83. Weird venue for a concert but this wasn't just a concert. It was a musical, a play and a concert all wrapped up in one. Very cool experience.
