While listening to all of Styx's studio albums, it seemed like a good idea to generate an ultimate playlist. They have released (thus far) (17) studio albums.
My playlist covers some of the hits as well as some of the more obscure pieces from their earlier years. And of course, this is just my list of great Styx music. Others will focus on other songs according to their whims and tastes.
There are 51 songs on my Ultimate Styx Playlist. There was only one album that doesn't have a song on this playlist; Cyclorama. All of the other albums had at least one or two interesting songs.
I was reluctant to include too many songs from their early albums. I love those albums from their time with Wooden Nickel Records. But the tunes tend to run towards the "generic 70s rock band" style.
In terms of percentages, the albums I love the most have the highest percentage of songs on the list. For example, the album Crystal Ball only has seven tracks; three of which made the playlist. That is almost half of that album! By comparison, Edge of the Century has ten tracks; only two of which made the list.
This is listed in order of when the albums were released. It is a time capsule of sorts. I've added the playlist to Spotify and YouTube (coming soon). You are welcome!
