Mr. Roboto - Styx

I really like this song for some reason, I think its mostly because of the awesome music video.

I’m not sure if its from the 70’s or 80’s…

Before I answer, can you clarify what you are looking for?

Do you want me to post the (70’s) songs that were my favorites DURING the 1970’s? Or do you want me to post the songs that I like today that were from the 1970’s? I may have different answers.

As an embarrassing example…

Then: Love Will Keep Us Together, by the Captain and Tennille*
Now: Thick as a Brick (especially any live version performed in the 70’s), by Jethro Tull

    • what can I say? I was ten. I liked the synthesizers.
