Styx doesn't sux, mang.

Once upon a time, there was a group named Styx. Critics and music snobs liked to bash them, but they made some pretty good tunes, had a lot of hits, and made some cool videos. Then they broke up. Then they got back together with new members. Then those members left and the original guys got back together. Then they broke up again. Band members died and were replaced with new guys as well as other new guys. Obviously, things were never the same again. None of that hoo-ha is included here. Domo arigato desert moon. The songs in this episode include: "A.D. 1928" "Rockin' the Paradise" "Lorelei" "Why Me" "Don't Let It End" "Music Time" "Mademoiselle" "Best Thing" "Winner Takes All" "Come Sail Away" "Too Much Time On My Hands" "Blue Collar Man" "High Time" "Crystal Ball" "Snowblind" "Babe" "Evil Eyes" "Mr. Roboto" "You Better Ask" "The Best of Times"
