I have seen them both in the last few years. Both put on a good show. I think Styx is better. Everyone leaves their show with a big smile on their face. Styx has very good musicians. Foreigner was good though.
Two of the most-popular 70s-80s bands I can't stand are ZZTop and Foreigner. They're on the satellite Classic music station all the time. I always turn the channel to anything else when those songs hit. I think the Styx album "Pieces of Eight" was really good. "Come Sail Away" also is better than any Foreigner song by far.
Styx was probably the better band but I liked Foreigner better. Saw them both in concert a zillion years ago. Journey was better yet. Those were pretty wild times for a small town boy. I just gave away all the old vinyl albums from the 70's. It was quite a stack and brought back some memories.
Sorry, but Journey sucks.
