 I found it a tad difficult choosing between "Equinox" and "Crystal Ball" so I went for this one. Great group and great tunes all the way through this period in the 70's. Hard to nail just one album for these guys. Thanks Kim |

Come Sail Away is a close second.

I went with Man in the Wilderness, but Castle walls is right there. Actually, you can't lose with any song on this album. (Or Equinox and Crystal Ball for that matter)

Come Sail Away. Call me nuts, but I never thought "Fooling Yourself" was that great of a song. Not a bad tune, but overrated, especially within the Styx catalog. There are much better songs on this album IMO and Tommy Shaw has written better songs too, but again that's just my opinion; that and a dollar might get you a cup of coffee, nothing more.  |

I only have one Styx album, Paradise Theater.
Is that considered a good one? I didn't like it when I last heard it, though that must have been more than 5 years ago.
Other than that, the only other Styx I know, is Babe and Boat on the River.
Don't care for Babe, but love Boat on the River.
Any commercial rock tune that can add the lyric "all roads lead to tranquillity base" deserves our appreciation.
It's perhaps beaten only by Toto's fabulous "sure as kilimanjaro rises like olympus above the serengeti".
Anyway, I've just displayed all of my Styx knowledge in a single post. I'm feeling naked.

If you wanted to get one Styx album, Grand Illusion would be the one. Equinox, Crystal Ball, and Pieces of Eight are the others I would recommend. |

Miss America
I thought that was the coolest song on the album and still do.
Come Sail Away is not too far behind. Honestly I don't get why it got considered such a cheezy song. I still think it's a great song with great imagery.
