Styx&#8217;s 10th album, the 1981 release, &#8216;Paradise Theater&#8217; was the band&#8217;s fourth consecutive triple-platinum album. A resounding success, &#8216;Paradise Theater&#8217; was their greatest commercial triumph and their only #1 album. It remains one of the best examples of the convergence between progressive rock and AOR which typified the arena rock sound of the top groups of the late-seventies and early-eighties such as Journey, REO Speedwagon, Cheap Trick and Kansas.  <!--more-->  <\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\">Styx was a great group of talented musicians &#8211; Dennis DeYoung, Tommy Shaw, James Young, Chuck Panozzo and John Panozzo. The album included three Billboard Hot 100 hits, \u201cThe Best of Times,\u201d \u201cNothing Ever Goes As Planned\u201d and \u201cToo Much Time on My Hands\u201d considered among Tommy Shaw&#8217;s finest singles ever. Another track, \u201cRockin&#8217; The Paradise\u201d reached #8 on the Top Rock Track Chart.<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"yui_3_13_0_1_1398746489982_3143\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\">The concept album is a fictional account of Chicago&#8217;s Paradise Theatre from its opening to closing, used as a metaphor for America&#8217;s changing times from the late 1970s into the 1980s.<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center; margin-bottom: 0in;\">\u201c&#8230;some of the best songs Styx would ever write!\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"yui_3_13_0_1_1398746489982_3144\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\">TRACKS:<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\">A.D. 1928<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\">Rockin&#8217; the Paradise<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\">Too Much Time on My Hands<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\">Nothing Ever Goes As Planned<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\">The Best of Times<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\">Lonely People<\/div>\n<div id=\"yui_3_13_0_1_1398746489982_3145\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\">She Cares<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\">Snowblind<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\">Half-Penny, Two-Penny<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\">A.D. 1958<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\">State Street Sadie<\/div>\n<div id=\"yui_3_13_0_1_1398746489982_3146\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"yui_3_13_0_1_1398746489982_3147\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\">Produced by Styx<\/div>\n<div id=\"yui_3_13_0_1_1398746489982_3148\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"yui_3_13_0_1_1398746489982_3149\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\">Mastered by Kevin Gray<\/div>\n<div id=\"yui_3_13_0_1_1398746489982_3150\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\">at Cohearent Audio<\/div>\n<div id=\"yui_3_13_0_1_1398746489982_3151\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"yui_3_13_0_1_1398746489982_3152\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\">Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.audiofidelity.net\/content\/styx-paradise-theater\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">http:\/\/www.audiofidelity.net\/content\/styx-paradise-theater<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Styx fans rejoice with the release of the band&#8217;s critically aclaimed album &#8216;Paradise Theater&#8217; on&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4281","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-music-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4281","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4281"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4281\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4281"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4281"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4281"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
