Styx

Part of a rising tide of American "pomp-rock" groups of the '70s, Styx combined prog-rock characteristics with hard-rock hooks and pop accessibility. Their high, three-part vocal harmonies and radio-friendly tunes made them wildly successful into the early '80s, until AOR was eclipsed by new wave.
