I'm sure everyone on this board already knows this information.
So 1991 was the last time they had a single make it to any charts?
Here are some STYX facts:
Styx in popular culture
Styx was featured on an episode of That '70s Show.
Styx's "Come Sail Away" was featured in the movie The Virgin Suicides.
Styx's "Come Sail Away" was featured on an episode of Freaks and Geeks.
Styx's "Come Sail Away" was parodied on an episode of South Park, and the character Eric Cartman, upon hearing the first few lyrics, cannot stand to do so unless he hears the rest of the song; he usually finishes it himself.
Adam Sandler has stated that Styx is his favorite band, so he frequently features their songs in his movies. Many references are made to the band and its music in his film Big Daddy.
Mr. Roboto is featured in the first episode of the Japanese drama series Densha Otoko.
Styx was featured on an episode of Family Guy in which Dennis DeYoung calls in to a KISS hotline to bash KISS.
The group and its music have been referred to at least 3 times in The Simpsons. When looking through the 'Oldies' section in a record store (called 'Suicide Notes (Formerly 'Good Vibrations'), Homer is surprised to see a Styx record, commenting that "I just heard them on the King Biscuit Flower Hour!". Mr. Roboto is used as the basis for an improvised song designed to encourage Otto's tenpin bowling efforts. Finally, when Homer travels down the River Styx in Hades, skeletons are on the shore playing "Lady." (prompting him to exclaim, "This really is Hell!").
