I love the band's mini-rock opera approach as was done with "Sail Away" and "Grand Illusion".Shows great inspiration and inlfuence as well as they were excellently executed.Is Dennis DeYoung one of rock's great overlooked vocalists?Perhaps along with Brad Delp of Boston fame...........................

Dennis DeYoung is a fantastic vocalist. I've seen him in concert 1 time and I've seen Styx without Dennis several times. It's too bad that they can't / couldn't put aside their differences for the sake of the music because I think it would have been a hell of a show. Envious of people that got to see them back during their heyday.

Styx...reading back over the older posts on this thread..not much more i can really say. The production though, is superb and the albums don't sound dated. Plus ..when the album jacket/ sleeve was just as important- you felt like you owned something.Styx- Miss America.

One of my favorite Styx videos is this one that features their current drummer Todd Sucherman playing 'Blue Collar Man'. It really gives a behind the scenes look at what it must be like being a drummer in a high power rock group.
