Equinox Review
February 22, 2021
My most played album # 33. Styx, Equinox! "Light Up" One of my favorite songs, this should have been the stoners anthem! "Suite Madame Blue" finally got some airplay a few years later when the Grand Illusion became a top selling album and it would become an American anthem. "Born for Adventure" is a great song and story about being young and wild. It was my anthem back in the day. Every song on this album should have been a hit, but no promo for this one! "Lorelei" is a wonderful young love song. "Mother Dear" thoughtful lyrics, Two more great songs "Lonely Child" and "Midnight Ride". It took years for this one to go gold! My 5 favorite bands when I was growing up, the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Styx, Journey and Kansas, this album was a big reason for that list! This is my most played Styxs album because it remains fresh from not being overplayed on the radio like several other Styx albums that were played all the time. If you're looking for hits check out the albums Grand Illusion, Cornerstone or Pieces of eight.

My most played album #238. Styx - Pieces of Eight. I was kind of unhappy with this album when it first came out. I wanted heavy Styx. They gave me "Aku-Aku". "Renegade" took over the radio and packs the dance floor! "Blue Collar Man (Long Nights)" that rocked and owned the airwaves. Great White Hope a great song but did not get much airplay. Pieces Of Eight and Sing For The Day... Read More
