I really wonder if anyone could write a "fair" biography of the band Styx. It would have to take someone who is NOT a fan, I would think, but a disinterested third party who could look at everything objectively. This person would have to have access to all members and former managers, etc. to be able to write a very unbiased telling of the Styx story. Sadly, former members have passed away and their input would have been vital, I believe, to a complete biography.
I just do not think a comprehensive, fair, telling of the story is possible, so, if we get any sort of biography, it will come with a built-in agenda, in my estimation, and tell only part of the history.
Certainly there is (was?) interest in the Styx story, judging from the response to the VH1 showing of Behind the Music. This was the second most-watched Behind the Music ever shown on that channel. SOMEone was curious.
