Our Take

Ah, Styx, the legendary purveyors of all things stadium rock and questionable hair choices. Their latest compilation album, "The Best of Times," is a joyous romp through the band's extensive back catalogue, showcasing their penchant for bombastic anthems and epic guitar solos.

Opening with the timeless classic "Come Sail Away," Styx immediately transports the listener back to the glory days of arena rock, complete with soaring harmonies and keyboard wizardry. From there, we are treated to hits such as "Babe" and "Renegade," each track serving as a reminder of the band's undeniable songwriting talent.

But it's not all cheese and pomp with Styx. Tracks like "The Grand Illusion" and "Fooling Yourself (The Angry Young Man)" display a darker, more introspective side to the band, showing that they are more than just purveyors of radio-friendly rock.

Overall, "The Best of Times" is a must-have for any Styx fan or anyone looking to inject a bit of classic rock nostalgia into their music collection. So grab your air guitar, crank up the volume, and let Styx take you on a journey through the highs and lows of 70s and 80s rock excess. You won't regret it.

With a career spanning over four decades, this American rock band has left an indelible mark on the music industry with their unique blend of prog-rock, hard rock, and catchy pop hooks. Led by the charismatic frontman Tommy Shaw, STYX burst onto the music scene in the 1970s with their epic concept albums and larger-than-life stage shows. Songs like "Come Sail Away", "Renegade", and "Too Much Time on My Hands" have become anthems for generations of rock fans, cementing STYX's place in the pantheon of rock gods. But don't let their classic rock roots fool you - STYX are not your average dad rock band. With their experimental song structures, intricate harmonies, and intricate guitar solos, STYX have always pushed the boundaries of what is possible in rock music.

Whether you're a die-hard STYX fan or a casual listener looking to expand your musical horizons, one thing is for certain: STYX is a band that defies categorization. So take a journey with them on the river of rock and let their music wash over you like a tidal wave of sound. You won't be disappointed - we promise.
