Although the band had already performed in, and around, the Chicago area, C.S.U. would become the group’s base. The trio hooks up with another student, John Curulewski, who takes over the helm on guitar. 1970: Guitarists James “JY” Young- who was performing with a rival band in Chicago-joins the qu More...

My grandma passed away last month, & we played this song at her memorial service at the end. It fit really well & will always be special to me because of it. STYX: The Heaviest Band On Earth | Reviewer: Master ------ About artist/band Styx The day will probably never come when STYX is recognized rightfully as the true prioners of the Dual Guitar technique mimicked by Rob Halford and the gang half a decade after STYX hit the first amazing riffs on Children Of The Land (an effort which in itself totally annihilates (in my opinion) all that is Judas Priest's Debut Album). No doubt it is entirely too ambitious for me to discount either Dennis' Keyboarding (a true pioneering effort) or unsurpased vocal prowess (that is, before Ronnie Dio made the scene with his good friend (at the time) Richie)-but in terms of what was then termed and can now only be retermed: Heavy Metal of the day, STYX not only shone as an insular entity, but literaly wiped the floor with Both Black Sabbath and Deep Purple in 1972 (with such a blistering debut) and in 1973 (with what I term 'Dennis' First Solo Album: STYX II', and the sheer Satanic perversity known as The Serpent Is Rising (which I have no doubt about being a slap in the face of religion, the first real unappologized (Black Sabbath) effort since The Rolling Stone's Their Satanic Majesties Request))-being truely rivaled only perhaps by Queen whose also blistering 1973 double release ((Queen and Queen II) with such attacks as Modern Times Rock N Roll and Ogre Battle), and again in 1974 with Man Of Miracles shying slightly away from the magnus opus: Sheer Heart Attack (Need I even mention Stone Cold Crazy or Brighton Rock? Flick Of The Wrist, anyone?). But perhaps for at least a short span, I would be the first to defend STYX as the heaviest band on Earth 1972-1974, again pre-dating our 'Metal Gods' (who would only really offer something unheard of in 1976 with their softmore album)-although beyond this STYX can't be called anything more heavy than the most original band on earth (beside Queen)-with the scene around Heavy Music rapidly changing (1975 with Rush's Fly By Night (a true thrash album) and Caress Of Steel (Need I say anthing?), and 1976 being taken over then on by our close to heart-Judas Priest (ironically rivaled perhaps only by the Feminist Acid Rock attack called Heart (All I'm saying is just compare Priest's Dissendent Aggressor and Heart's Barracuda (both 1977)-or better yet both the Sin After Sin and Little Queen (Correct me if that's the wrong one) albums and decide for yourself-or those long-haired Punks (not to be misconstrued for the negative connotation associated with that word) Motorhead). But there is far more to the STYX than their heaviness, Dennis has spearheaded a style of Keyboard-solo psychedelics unprecidented and unmatched since (reference, for just one, The end of Young Man (1973)). But again, I doubt the world (or even the Heavy Metal Society (if such a thing even exists)) will ever share my sentiments regarding the (in some ways, unsurpassed) heaviness that is STYX. STYX predates Judas Priest! | Reviewer: Master ------ About the song Witch Wolf performed by Styx This song was probably represents the heaviest use of the twin guitar style before Judas Priest-just compare the Witch Wolf opening riff to Heading Out To The Highway over half a Decade later in 1981...Sound similar? I'm not calling Judas Priest musical plagerists, just saying STYX had the Dual guitar attack long before they even had a single album out (and reference Movement For The Common man for an even heavier (and earlier) guitar onslaught(over 5 countable solos!)) Come Sail Away | Reviewer: Taylor ------ About the song Come Sail Away performed by Styx Amazingly awesome, nothing better. Styx is so cool, can you believe how old they are now? My mother sang to them twenty- something years ago.

Styx is a great band Good lyrics, even better song | Reviewer: PuffOfLogic ------ About the song A Criminal Mind performed by Styx Music and lyrics are both equally impressive. They compliment each other well, and song carries certain strength and determinaiton throughout. Seems to be longer than most songs, and at first I thought it could have been written for a movie or theater.
