What do Styx fans class as the best albums and songs?

Posted: **Thu Sep 08, 2005 8:11 am**

We have had many, many threads and discussions about this subject. If you get the time, I know there are pages of posts to read through, but maybe look back and see what has been said on the subject.

I think many agree that The Grand Illusion is the pinnacle of Styx albums. I am personally a fan of Equinox and Pieces of Eight, and rank them ahead of TGI as my personal favorites.

Is that like the sauce?

I have to agree with Bugsy on Pieces of Eight although I read an interview were DDY felt this album was a week effort in his opinion.

Here's a good review on the Grande Illusion to check out

And here are some more reviews of Styx albums...disclaimer ..I found this on a google search and in no way endorse or suppurt these opinions.

Just looking over this list quickly, looks like if one were going to shell out for the essential Styx it would be The Grand Illlusion, Pieces of Eight and Equinox.
Those made nearly everyone's list.

To me those albums define the best of the progressive rock sound of Classic Styx.
