Great band with many bangers and a few ballads. "Snowblind", "Renegade", "Come Sail Away", "Best of Times", "Too Much Time on My Hands", "Show Me The Way" to name a few.
He wrote it for his wife and had never planned on recording it but was convinced to record it and it was a huge hit and still awesome today 35+ years later. You should also listen to When I’m With You by Sheriff. And also Sad Eyes by Robert John. ❤
I am especially enjoying that you two seem to pick out unique songs that aren't done by every other channel out there. The late 60's to early 80s were phenomenal time and there's enough fantastic music to give a first listen to for many years to come without even repeating the ones that everyone else always does. Although there are some great that you cannot avoid and should listen to even though they are done by other channels. You are doing a great job thank you
from wiki...In Greek mythology, Styx (/ˈstɪks/; Ancient Greek: Στύξ [stýks]) is a river that forms the boundary between Earth (Gaia) and the Underworld.
This is a pure ballad Dennis DeYoung wrote for his wife's birthday, and later it made it on the album "Cornerstone". Dennis never liked being away from home for long periods on the road touring, and this song refers to him sad to say goodbye he must be leaving again. Styx's songs are mostly rock and many have a dynamic of quiet parts that burst into harder stuff, like their first hit "Lady" which was the first ever power ballad by a rock band. "Prelude 12/Suite: Madame Blue", "Come Sail Away", and "CASTLE WALLS" written by Dennis are also like this. Note: Do NOT do the "Official Video" for "Come Sail Away" as that is a shortened cut-down version for MTV. Rather checkout the album version or live from 1983's "Caught In The Act" or 1996's "Return To Paradise". With Tommy Shaw and James JY Young also lead singers and songwriters, STYX has a wide variety of song styles. "Fooling Yourself", "Man In The Wilderness", "Crystal Ball", "Blue Collar Man", and "Renegade" are Tommy Shaw songs. "Young Man", "Man Of Miracles", "Miss America", and "Snowblind" are James "JY" Young songs (with help from Tommy on Snowblind).
Tommy didn't leave the band, he led a rebellion and pushed Dennis DeYoung out of the band he originated. For decades they've been in court battles over the rights since Dennis wrote the vast majority of Styx songs but the younger members tried to prevent him mentioning the name Styx out on his own.

Love seeing young people watching this!

This dropped in 1979. Dennis DeYoung was the lead vocalist. Check out Mr. Roboto by Styx!
The guitarist has an incredible voice too

Every rock band had to have at least one ballad and this was Styxs. I danced to this at my 9th grade Winter Dance...to many years back to count. lol
Styx has been around for years, with many more hit songs such as Lady, Mr roboto the lead singer wrote Babe for his 😢wife❤❤❤

love this song, haven't heard it in years. Thanks for the reaction.
Styx is coming to our town this summer
If you want to hear a little funkier side of STYX, check out Renegade.
Their name is from the mythical River Styx. The river is the river you must cross when passing from life to death, from earth to the underworld.
The river Styx is a massive challenge, so says my wife during a psychedelic mushroom journey.
For something different give Come Sail Away a listen. Or Foolin' Yourself (The Angry Young Man)
The lead guitarist Tommy Shaw hated this song and it was part of why he left the group.
Tommy didn't leave the band, he led a rebellion and pushed Dennis DeYoung out of the band he originated. For decades they've been in court battles over the rights since Dennis wrote the vast majority of Styx songs but the younger members tried to prevent him mentioning the name Styx out on his own.
This is not an 80’s band they are 70’s. Not on a soundtrack that I know of.
