PIECES OF EIGHT

For me, this is THE Styx album. All songs are blazing canons, and the combined writing skills of Dennis, James and Tommy brings us an album, which is never equaled any more in their later career. Songs like Great White Hope, I'm OK (with that beautiful organ piece in it), Blue Collar Man, Queen of Spades, Renegade and Pieces of Eight, all classics, played with a sheer musical power. The album still stands very strong since the time it was released. A must have for every kind of rock music lover.
