I've never seen or heard anything remotely similar between the two bands at all. I honestly don't get this..

I suppose the Roger thing fits, slightly.. but even then, as a Roger song I think it would sound quite different.

There is one thing the bands have in common though.. both now have only two original members. The STYX situation is quite sad really. Dennis is alive and well and there will never be a real STYX without him. Queen on the other hand have every right to call themselves Queen as Freddie & John weren't thrown out the way Dennis was.

I fucking hate Tommy Shaw. What a prick.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, why was he thrown out, I've never been able to figure that one out...

This is unlikely, but another way way this erroneous mistake may have begun is that many of the music download trading sites have morons who are too stupid or too lazy to write the correct artist on a song they post/download. I've seen (swear to God) Van Halen/Stairway to Heaven, Guns and Roses/Fall to Pieces, Pink Floyd/The Ocean and worse. I have to admit, the first few times I saw these songs, I got them, thinking maybe they were from soundchecks or bootlegs etc. Of course they weren't-just the regular songs by the original artists, just mis-labled. Also, as far as Queen/Styx being similar, I always thought that Freddie and the Styx vocalist, while not neccessarily sounding the same, both had that almost Broadway style of singing (you know, actually being able to sing in the proper key, holding the note a long time...something most rock singers can't do). I'm not criticizing other rock singers, but many of them just can't sing in the proper sense like Freddie could (for example, watch the tribute concert-as wonderful a singer as most of those people may be, most "had to change keys because they couldn't do a Freddie", as Robert Plant said).

I can't believe there's still people out there that can sit thru that entire song.

And it was DENNIS that "threw out" Tommy Shaw for Glen Burtnick and that failed comeback album in the 90s.

Paradise Theatre was the last true Styx album. After that, it seemed that each band member had their own agenda.

Its also possible that Styx was inspired by Queen, seeing as how they played support for them during some of the Sheer Heart Attack Tour, the USA portion at least...
