The Mission

quantumgreg My favorite band of all time. The band is headed to Mars on this concept album. They've never put out a mediocre album; this one included. I lean toward Tommy Shaw songs (e.g. Locamotive, Mission to Mars), but the hard rocker in me loves JY's songs and I can hear his influence easily (e.g. Trouble At The Big Show); he just can't compose a bad song! As usual, Styx has soaring harmonic vocals, and Gowan on the keyboards on Khedive... just wow. Favorite track: Locomotive.
