Styx (1972) What Has Come Between Us

Along with their cover of George Clinton's After You Leave Me is a perfect vehicle for their medieval harmonies and organ work all to add a prog atmospheric grandness and a lot of rock and blues flavouring. Starting with a prancing beat of piano and electric guitar before the old worldly acoustic slow step comes in with Dennis DeYoung's signature operatic vibrato full of animated delivery and rolling syllables before the Trademark Styx harmony stacks come. Best is the baroque electric piano and organ section full of renaissance grace and virtuosity before the standard rock syncopated call and response chorus.
