 Styx
Styx's 1979 release Cornerstone was a major departure for the band.
Styx took advantage of their sudden success and went label shopping, signing a deal with AandM Records, which released Equinox Styx's first self-produced album, in 1975.
It was on 7/7/77 with the release of their 7th album, The Grand Illusion, that Styx finally broke from the ranks of supporting bands and became superstars in their own right.

Shaw returned with the band to do a remake of the classic hit "Lady" for the first album, and two new songs, "Little Suzie" and "It Takes Love" for the second album.
This album had a much better sound and direction, and became Styx's breakthrough album, with the hits "Lorelei" and "Suite Madame Blue." Curulewski, however, had grown tired of the excessive touring, and left the band during the "Equinox" tour.
Styx is a classic rock band that first formed in Chicago in the mid 1960s.

 Amazon.com: Styx - Greatest Hits: Music: Styx
Styx had one more album release in 1990, "Edge of the Century", which yielded one top 40 song, "Show Me the Way." This CD also has a re-recorded version of "Lady" done in 1995.
Near the end of their career, Styx tried to experiment with their music, which is always dangerous for a long-established group, since their existing fans may feel betrayed and the genre they are trying to break into either reviles their music or doesn't recognize what they are trying to do.
Styx is one of those groups that many people seem to hate, and yet has always done well both in concert and on tour.

The band is in the midst of a career resurgence that includes nabbing a gold record for their 1997 double live Return to Paradise "comeback" disc and having their hits "Mr.
As Styx's longtime concept album "visionary" and studio leader, DeYoung somehow always managed to pull together the disparate rock styles of Shaw and Young with his own light ballad touch on the band's previous releases.
Song orders and mixing were done while the band members were scattered around the country and even the album artwork was chosen without full band approval.

 VH1.com : Styx : Biography
Early on, Styx's music reflected such then-current prog rockers as Emerson, Lake & Palmer and the Moody Blues, as evidenced by such releases as 1972's self-titled debut, 1973's Styx II, 1974's The Serpent Is Rising, and 1975's Man of Miracles.
The seeds for the band were planted in another Chicago band during the late '60s, the Tradewinds, which featured brothers Chuck and John Panozzo (who played bass and drums, respectively), as well as acquaintance Dennis DeYoung (vocals, keyboards).
With the other Styx members wanting to soldier on with further albums and tours, DeYoung was forced to take a break when he developed an uncommon viral ailment, which made the singer extremely sensitive to light.

The band Styx, which climbed to the top of the charts via the suburban high school and college circuit, is returning to the area this month as one of the biggest rock acts in America.
De Young gave the recording to his wife and the session was forgotten — until Styx came up a song short for the album "Cornerstone." De Young had played "Babe" for the band, and the group liked the song so much they decided to include it on the album.
The band has scored an unprecedented string of three triple-platinum al bums (that's 9 million sales) and its 1980 tour was seen by 1.5 million fans — the most people ever to see an American rock band.

 Midwest Beat Magazine, 2000
Styx was founded in the Sixties by a crazed South Side Beatles fan named Dennis DeYoung and a pair of rhythmic brothers bearing the name of Panozzo, John and Chuck, respectively.
People who attended that show did so not realizing that the Styx they were paying money to see in no where close to the Styx that recorded all those great songs that they love.
Rather than simply walk away from a situation gone awry, leaving a once successful band's name intact, too often some of the members of a band that has tasted success choose to bilk their fans.

The addition of Gowan, who joined in 1999, gives Styx a lineup featuring three lead singers, a luxury the band takes full advantage of on "Cyclorama" as each vocalist handles lead on at least two tracks, giving the album a fresh feel at every turn.
"I think in the past, Styx has always been a band with a number of lead singers and what it grew into was guys would just kind of go home and make their own records and then put them all together," says Shaw.
Since unleashing its revamped lineup on the concert circuit in 1999, Styx has been steadily touring the globe – "scent-marking" the planet as guitarist/vocalist James "JY" Young terms it -- reintroducing the band’s music to fans in every nook and cranny of the rock landscape.
