FMM: Styx and Stones

Bands were big in the 80s. Music lovers were spoilt for choice since there was a band for almost every genre.

One of the bands who defined and dominated the 80s was Styx. What made them distinct was their versatility, and the fact that their lead singer had a kick-ass voice! Dennis De Young was an awesome lead vocalist, and it was no surprise that he had a successful solo career. He sang "Desert Moon" which  was my FMM a few weeks ago.

Styx had a lot of hit songs, like these iconic ballads "Babe" and "Don't let it end." But their iconic song has to be this awesome electronica-pop song which was an anthem in all of the parties of the 80s. The song that gave birth to the ubiquitous "robot dance."



Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto. Now, I can't help but do the robot dance all over again.
