I figured this was a good matchup because both bands were a bit soft with all the synthesizers and such. I'd have to go with the Cars only if I could delete Candy-O from the collection.

I'd have thought you'd have voted for the Michiganders

I didn't say I liked either one Hendrix. It's like asking if you duck into a pile of vomit if somebody threw shit at your face.

Not a trace of either in my collection. No Kenny G. either.

To me Styx was overblown music that took itself too seriously and featured a whiney-voiced singer. The Cars at least had catchy short but sweet pop tunes. No question in my mind.

That opinion is based on my current likes/dislikes, since I did listen to a lot of Styx back in the day.

The Happy Schnapps Combo has 'em both beat.

The VH1 Behind the Music on Styx made me hate Dennis DeYoung even more than I did before.

Gotta be Styx. I never could stand Rick Ocasek to begin with then he goes and snags Paulina Porizkova! Is she blind?!???
