Miss America
Arguably James Young at his guitar-thrashing and banshee-screaming-vocal best on arguably the best Styx album, 1977's 'The Grand Illusion.'

Music Time
Studio cut from 1984 Caught in the Act live album. Not Styx at their best, but it served as a sign-off for the band until they finally re-emerged six years later.

21.
Lights
1979's 'Cornerstone' garnered a new group of fans with the #1 ballad "Babe" but turned away some of the band's more hardcore fans. Tommy Shaw's ode to life on the stage didn't make it as a single, but did maintain his tradition of contributing a decent mid-tempo rocker.

Light Up
1975 hard-rocking cut from 'Equinox' didn't go anywhere as a single, but has survived as a second-tier classic rock hit.

Golden Lark
A little known, gorgeous Dennis DeYoung ballad from the Wooden Nickel era.

Why Me?
Top 40 follow-up to the band's #1 "Babe." Both songs were from 1979's 'Cornerstone' and featured Dennis DeYoung.

Sing for the Day
This 1978 DeYoung/Shaw single from 'Pieces of Eight' was overshadowed by the singles that preceded and followed it ("Blue Collar Man" and "Renegade" respectively) and just missed the top 40.

Dear John
Tommy Shaw's tribute to Styx drummer John Panozzo, who died in 1996. Featured as a studio cut on the live Return to Paradise album.

All in a Day's Work
Glen Burtnik stepped in for Tommy Shaw for Styx' 1990 reunion album 'Edge of the Century' and delivered this fantastic ballad.
