"Mr. Roboto" by Styx

It was warm summers night and my family and I were just driving back home from the cities. My brother was driving, so we had to listen to all of his songs on his mp3 player. Most of the songs were just this hard rap music. Song after song, all we would hear is this fast past, high base, mumbling of songs. And then it came on. The coolest sounding song I had ever heard. This song is not like any other song you here on the radio, partially because the song is from the 80s and you don't here that kind of music anymore. But mainly because it is from the band Styx, the best band I have ever heard, and I have heard a lot of music. I can't even describe the sound, frankly because I don't know how they get that sound. But it sounded futuristic, like it was robots talking some of the time, hence the name "Mr. Roboto. After I was done listening to this masterpiece, I stopped and thought, what just happen? What was that, I need to listen to it again. Now I usually have to listen to a song about five times before I start to like, but this one was different.

The first, I would say 10 times I listened to this song I got goosebumps all up and down my arm. It was at the same part too, the climax of the song. But I had a tough time finding the song because I was young and didn't know how to surf the internet. Then one day while in my dad's car I found a CD. "Styx Greatest Hits", I will never forget the day, June 30, 2004. I was sitting in the parking lot waiting to see Spiderman 2. I turned right to "Mr. Roboto" and couldn't help but smile. Then I stole that CD from my dad and he hasn't seen it sense.
