    5 out of 5 stars The Best Of Wooden Nickel.......2006-08-24

    In this album you can hear the early versions of their music it is a completely different sound then what you hear as soon as they switched over to A&M. Even though I like the later stuff better. This is still a great album Here Are M Rating by song:

    1. You Need Love (15/10) Hard Rocker, A beatiful guitar solo and tons of organ AWESOME!!!!! off of the album STYX II

    2. Lady (20/10) Their best song on this CD and their frst Top Ten hit. A Styx classic. off the album STYX II

    3. I'm Gonna Make You Feel It (12/10) A very catchy song quick paced kinda one of those songs that gets stuck in our head but your happy that it's there. off the album STYX II

    4. What Has Come Beetween Us (10/10) It's a rare Styx breakup song. off the album STYX.

    5. Southern Woman (8/10) Some Southern Rock Style sung by James Young and interesting manuever by them. Off the album Man Of Miracles

    6. Rock & Roll Feeling (10/10) Another song sung by James Young and a another catchy tune. off the album Man Of Miracles.

    7. Winner Take All (9/10) John Curulewski sings really high in this song with Dennis DeYoung but another catch style song. off the album The Serpent Is Rising.

    8. Best Thing (10/10) Their first Top 100 hit. A very well done song with a good guitar solo and lots of electric piano with acoustic guitar to back it up. Off the album STYX.

    9. Witch Wolf (7/10) Kind of a theatrical song in a way good but not their best. Off the album The Serpent Is Rising.

    10. The Grove Of Eglantine (9/10) A nice ballad by DeYoung. off the album The Serpent Is Rising

    11. Man Of Miracles (8/10) A ballad/theatrical song pretty good but they have better. off the album Man Of Miracles.

    4 out of 5 stars The rough beginning of a superstar group........2005-01-04

    This compilation was originally released in 1975 with a different cover as a "cash in" album when Styx changed labels to A&M. It was the second Styx album I bought and looking back its a very good starter collection of songs from thier first four Wooden Nickel albums. It seems a little skimpy on CD because it was originally put together for vinyl. But the original LP ran over 45 minutes, so I thought it was a great deal back then. The album was later reissued in the early 80's with a new (ugly) cover, which has been used for this CD. Most of these songs were also released as rare 45 singles, which are becoming very collectable on E-bay.

    The band was just starting to forge thier own sound on these early albums so they are not quite as cohesive as thier A&M recordings. All four Wooden Nickel albums feature a very eclectic mix between JY's and the late John Curulewski's hard rockers verses Dennis' ballads and art-prog-rock peices. It wasn't until Tommy Shaw joined the band in 1976 that they found just the right songwriter to bridge those different elements together.

    The mastering on the original RCA CD that came out in the mid 80's (The CD has a large modern RCA symbol in a circle in blue ink, and a scan of the album cover on the back) - its very hissy , stay away from this one!

    The remastered BMG version (with the old 40's style RCA symbol on the CD and just the track and remastering information on the back) was redone in the 90's is a huge improvement and the one to get.

    Still I wish BMG would put together a lengthier compilation of thier early days. Theres one available from Japan but its very expensive! (update - they did! Look for "The Complete Wooden Nickel Recordings" and you will have everything on this CD in better quality)

    4 out of 5 stars good and getting better.......2004-12-08

    This CD is the best of Styx during their Wooden Nickel years. This is a very good sampling of the four W.N. albums. After listening to it, I just had to get the four pre A&M albums hoping that I would find a few more hidden gems. Well, after hearing those four albums, I'm pretty sure that most of the good gems had been mined for The Best of Styx. It's kinda neat to hear John and JY featured so prominently through the album, and a song like Man of Miracles holds its own against Lady. Styx, Styx II, Man of Miracles, and The Serpent is Rising can be quite difficult to get ahold of, so if you really want the best of those early four, buy The Best of Styx, and, as advertised, you are getting the best of early Styx.

    5 out of 5 stars The Early Days Before Greatness.......2004-01-22

    This is a must for the diehard Styx fan, featuring the best of their first four albums(Styx I, Styx II, Serpent Is Rising, and Man Of Miracles)on the Wooden Nickel label, an early RCA joint label. Of course the song "Lady" is featured, along with some other good early rock pieces. Too bad though the original album cover art is no more. Originally it featured a photograph of a silver, long-nailed hand emerging from a dark lake and clutching a rose(to tie in with the band's name chosen from Greek Myth).Around 1980, RCA decided to re-release their early albums due to the band's popularty, but with new "Art Deco" styled graphic covers. Still, the music is whats important, so give it a listen.

        5 out of 5 stars The Best Of Bands.......2006-09-23

        If you took greatest hits 1 & 2 and mashed them up together this is what you would end up with. This is a great album to buy. It has their best billboard hits that a new Styx fan would love. And then it has their not so famous songs that only a veteran Styx fan knows and would enjoy. This is something to get into. Styx is a great band to start your music collection with. This is a great CD to buy if you don't like this one buy their greatest hits or Come Sail Away: The Styx Anthology. But I'm serious this is a great CD to get I mean it buy it now.

        5 out of 5 stars Good Lineup.......2005-11-27

        Most of these songs are actually ones you'd expect from a "Best of". The US "Greatest Hits" is just a little too slow for my taste, and it's counter-part just doesn't cut it. My only complaint is that Tommy and Dennis need to fallback a little bit. They've had five other lead volcalists but you'd never know it.

          5 out of 5 stars The Best Of Wooden Nickel.......2006-09-26

          When Wooden Nickel Released THE BEST OF STYX they really didn't give the band justice. Now that Styx has released a new version of THE BEST OF STYX. This time around though it really is. It has their best Wooden Nickel Songs. like "Lady", "22 years", "Jonas Psalter", "Southern Woman", "A Song For Suzanne", and many many more. This is the CD every die hard Styx fan should have.

          5 out of 5 stars This is amazing!.......1999-08-21

          If you really want to hear the Wooden Nickel gems at their best, try these Japanese imports. Contains FULL lyrics, digital remastering (much better than the US versions) and better color on the covers. It is worth the extra money for the sound quality! Plus, BEST OF gets a cover over-haul. Wish they would show the cover here, it is a nice version of the classic WN STYX logo.
