Free Music Notes for Styx - Greatest Hits
Free Music Review: Great single disc overview to Styx
Hit: 5 Stars
Styx's Greatest Hits was released in August of 1995 and features 15 classic hits digitally remastered including all of their biggest hits.
"Lady" (originally a Top 10 hit in 1975 and the reason for Styx signing to A&M) is included here in a re-recorded version because RCA wouldn't license A&M/PolyGram the original recording but yet they did so for Come Sail Away (and Universal now owns Styx's whole catalog). The difference on this version to the original is the return of guitarist/singer/songwriter Tommy Shaw filling in for John Curulewski and new recruit Todd Sucherman filling in for the ailing John Panozzo(uncredited) plus guitarist James "JY" Young and bass player Chuck Panozzo. Keyboard player/singer/songwriter Dennis DeYoung's voice sounds so much better on this version than the original.
The other big Top 10 hits that are included are "Come Sail Away" (#8 in 1978) from The Grand Illusion, "Babe" (#1 in 1979) from Cornerstone, "The Best of Times" (it hit #3 in 1981 and not #16 as one other reviewer noted) and "Too Much Time on My Hands" (#9 in 1981) from Paradise Theater, "Mr. Roboto" (#3 in 1983) and "Don't Let it End" (#6 in 1983 and was wrongfully omitted on Come Sail Away in favor of the Alice in Chains sounding track from the awful Cyclorama One With Everything) from Kilroy Was Here and "Show Me the Way" (#3 in 1991) from 1990's Edge of the Century.
Also you get Top 30 hits of "Lorelei" from Equinox, "Fooling Yourself" from The Grand Illusion, "Blue Collar Man" and "Renegade" both from Pieces of Eight.
Lastly you get album tracks like "Suite Madame Blue" from Equinox, "Crystal Ball" from the album of same name, "The Grand Illusion" and "Miss America" from The Grand Illusion.
This is a great starter to Styx and is the top selling Greatest Hits album the band has as it went Triple Platinum.
Highly recommended!
Styx - Greatest Hits Poster
Japanese only SHM-CD (Super High Material CD - playable on all CD players) pressing. Universal. 2008.If it's your belief that one of the reasons today's rock is so bereft of personality is that all sense of show business has been drained from the music, then a look back at the career of Styx offers proof positive that it wasn't always thus. Greatest Hits offers a comprehensive overview of the band, from its art-rock days--which produced a top 10 hit in "Lady," a new version of which is included in this package--to its years as a perennial album-rock favorite--with offerings ranging from flights of fancy ("Come Sail Away," "Renegade") to proto-power ballads ("Babe," "Crystal Ball") to songs reflecting the working-class roots of its audience ("Too Much Time on My Hands," "Blue Collar Man"). The band eventually succumbed to a shift in musical tides and just plain silliness ("Mr. Roboto"), but for a time, this disc suggests, a satin-suited pomp-rocker was something to be. --Daniel Durchholz
