Chicago, United States (1961 – present)
Styx is the first musical act to ever have four consecutive triple platinum albums, and they remain one of the most popular musical acts in history.
The group originally formed in the Chicago, Illinois, area in 1961 as “The Tradewinds”. This earliest line-up of the group included vocalist, pianist, keyboardist, and accordion player Dennis DeYoung, and a rhythm section comprising brothers Chuck Panozzo and John Panozzo on bass and drums, respectively. Changing their name briefly to “TW4”, the band added guitarists/vocalists James Young (J. Y.) and John Curulewski. The band members decided to choose a new name when they signed to Wooden Nickel Records; several suggestions were made and, says DeYoung, Styx was chosen because it was “the only one that none of us hated.”
Guitarist Tommy Shaw joined the group in 1975 following the departure of Curelewski. Tommy Shaw left in 1983 and returned again in 1995.
Glen Burtnik played guitar, vocals in 90/91 and bass guitar, vocals from 1999 to 2004.
Dennis DeYoung was removed from the band due to a viral ailment that left him sensitive to light in 1999 and was replaced with Lawrence Gowan-Keyboards, Vocals
The present lineup includes new members Todd Sucherman drums, percussion, Lawrence Gowan vocals, keyboards, guitar and Ricky Phillips bass guitar, vocals.

Fooling Yourself (The Angry Young Man) and Blue Collar Man are their best songs by FAR. Fuck the rest of the top 15, though I do have a soft spot for the first three songs.

Yay some people who actually have good taste in music and also like Styx are starting to post, instead of those jerkoffs who were implying Styx sucks!

Last.fm/Internet listens is not a good way to measure how known a band is and how many people actually go to their shows and support the band or give their honest opinion. For example, some VERY NEW Visual Kei (Japanese music genre) bands have 6 million listens but are widely hated for being terrible manufactured bands with poor CD sales in reality!
