Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
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

Customer Reviews

Good Sound; Could have been better choices 3 out of 5 stars
This review refers to the 95 CD.

The sound quality is very good and the songs sound original to my ear (except for "Lady 95", of course). The musicianship is excellent.

My biggest disappointment is not having the original version of "Lady".

For the most part, the big hits are here,12 of them anyway.

Four songs on the CD were not hit singles: "The Grand Illusion", "Crystal Ball", "Suite Madame Blue", and "Miss America". The first two of those ... Read More
