Styx's 'Paradise Theatre': A Journey Through Rock History

Styx experienced great success in the early 1980s with their album "Paradise Theatre." The album, released in 1981, reached the number one spot on the charts and featured hits like "Too Much Time On My Hands" and "The Best Of Times." Styx's self-produced album was a commercial success, thanks in part to a massive national and international tour that included 140 dates.

The band's popularity soared with the success of "Paradise Theatre," leading to a successful tour that became one of the most memorable rock tours of its time. The album's chart-topping success dethroned REO Speedwagon's "Hi Infidelity" for a three-week run at the top of the Billboard album chart. Styx's music continues to resonate with fans, as evidenced by their frequent live performances and the release of new albums like "The Mission" and "Crash of the Crown."

In 1996, the band's original lineup reunited for the Return To Paradise tour, which resulted in a gold-selling live album and home video. Styx's enduring legacy as a rock band with a flair for theatrics continues to captivate audiences, with their latest album "Crash of the Crown" released in 2021. Fans can still enjoy the timeless music of Styx by purchasing or streaming their iconic album "Paradise Theatre."
