Next up on the 80's countdown is Styx, this is the first part of a two part blog. This blog covers albums from 1975's "Equinox"- which is when the band started to having notable songs. They did release "Lady" in 1973. I know hard core Styx fans may disagree, but that's their only notable song until "Equinox". Besides "Lady" and "Equinox", this blog also covers 1976's "Crystal Ball", 1977's "Grand Illusion" and 1978's "Pieces of Eight.
The band at the time of "Equinox" was John Curulewski, guitar, vocals and synth, James Young, guitar and vocals, Dennis DeYoung, keyboards and vocals, Chuck Panozzo, bass and vocals, and John Panozzo, drums and vocals. After this record was recorded Curulewski left the band, a decision the probably kicks himself for everyday. Styx added Tommy Shaw to take over for him and as they say the rest is history. Shaw is still touring with Styx now.
