Styx (1978) It's OK

 From the theatrical, prog rockers of the late 70s/80s who were considered an acquired taste and arguably part of the corporate rock of image of the late 70s groups such as Journey and Foreigner. It's OK has a message of being yourself and is an individualistic message complete with the bands extended proggy musical passages and proves they weren't that corporate in terms of creative output. With reggae sounding rhythm guitars and as always Dennis DeYoungs' confident operatic soprano. Starting with a shouted out count in, this song is one of many that display Styx's desire to embrace many vibes and styles such as the poppy use of a Oberheimer synthesizer by DeYoung along with a church organ section. All wrapped in the band's usual arena rock assault, corporate or not the music was always indefinable and artistic and every track a musical tour de-force.
