Actually, we like the good mix of rock & ballads from Styx from their humble beginnings until DD was dumped. We've seen them in concert quite a few times over the years. I've seen Styx twice & the wife 3 times post DD too. They were OK, but they're just not the same anymore. As for Barry Manilow, I like a lot of his stuff. I'm just not really into pop. It's too simple, too much sameness to it for my taste. Barry does a lot more than just pop & his balads are among the best IMO. He also knows how to work a crowd between songs. Barry is extremely talented & I've enjoyed every concert we've gone to. Still, I can only take so much before I want to hear more complex music/lyrics/tempo. "If it helps, my wife is a big fan of Tull." Hmmmmmmm...... What was that song by Steven Stills? Change Partners? <VBG> OK, just kidding. Good for her. Tull isn't just a guy thing. I bet that close to half people at Jethro Tull concerts over the years have been women. And many of them still dress up in knee high leather boots with skin tight pants tucked inside, fringe leather jackets, full length coats & other garb emulating Ian's stage costumes from the early days. It's not unusual to look around & see scores of women with their arms stretched high in the air singing along to the songs (I find that my singing voice is better with my arms below my head - VBG). And as hard as it may be to conceive, many women are considerably more serious fans of Tull than I am. And they've been bringing their kids to the shows for more than a decade now too :-) cupofwonder.com rook4.freeserve.co.uk late20thcenturyboy.com
