Styx

A sprawling 1972 debut defined by a 13-minute opening suite. Gritty Hammond organ and street-noise collages meet the early seeds of arena-rock ambition.

It's Styx before the capes and the robots, just a heavy Chicago band trying to out-prog the British.

A restless blend of blue-collar grit and high-minded artistic ambition.
