Styx – Discography (1972-2021)

Styx - Discography (1972-2021)

Although they began as a progressive art-rock band, Chicago’s Styx would eventually transform into the virtual arena rock prototype by the late ’70s and early ’80s due to a fondness for bombastic rockers and soaring power ballads. Known for penning classic rock staples like “Lady,” “Renegade,” “Foolish Young Man,” and “Come Sail Away,” the band has issued 17 studio albums, including the triple-platinum-selling Grand Illusion, Pieces of Eight, and Paradise Theater. Shifting tastes in popular music and multiple lineup changes tempered the group’s radio dominance as the decades progressed. Continue reading “Styx – Discography (1972-2021)”

Whether it’s the last hour you were allowed to play outside as a child before you had to go home, a reference to the fight against time in regard to the climate crisis or the last minutes of a person’s life – “An Hour Before It’s Dark” certainly doesn’t lack interpretations.

Circus – Circus (1976) [2022, Japanese Remastered, SHM-CD]

Circus - Circus (1976) [2022, Japanese Remastered, SHM-CD]

Coming from the NW Switzerland on the language border between the Alemanics and the Romands, this unusual quartet of musicians has a strange line-up. Hauser is one of the better percussionists (still playing but in jazz bands nowadays), and bassist Cerletti (the only non-Alemanic in the band) is certainly excellent plays also acoustic guitar. The other two, Fri and Grieder, share the wind instruments with the vocals. That’s it! No KB and almost no el. guitars, at least on the first two albums.
