1977 was the Year of Punk. On both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. It was also the year in which Styx released The Grand Illusion. One of the most preposterous records I've heard for a long time. Probably since the last time I tried to listen to a Styx record.I take this blog thing seriously. If a Styx album comes uo I'll give it a go until I can stand no more.
I lasted almost fifteen minutes this mornind until a ludicrous and monstrous synth solo pinned me to the canvas and I had to throw my headphones off in disbeluef and horrir and flee to the sofa, They're beyond me this bunch. They seemed to try to outdo themselves in terms of sheer folly, pomp and the utterly self indulgent nature of their ludicrous witterings and labyrinthine musical and lyrical insanity. Fortunately I have a very good friend who listens to them so I don't have to very often.
