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 both had airplay back in the day. Now I listen to it, what a great album all the way through, some of their best work! I catch myself looking at what to listen to, I see this and think no but if I put it on I can't take it off!
