Styx (1972) Best Thing
The debut single from Theatrical Arena rockers of the late 70s and early 80s this sees a Zeppelin- esque crunch mixed with some virtuoso keyboard, acoustic guitar and piano trading lead vocals with their powerful group harmonies; all trademarks of their heyday. A simple blues rocker complete with their instrumental strengths this proved they were capable of writing melodic pop melodies and performing incredibly fast guitar and keyboard licks, this mixture of classical musicality, strutting rock n roll with gospel harmonies stacked on top would prove an formidable stadium band.
