Styx

Legendary 1980s hair metal band Styx has likely influenced the 21st century's generation of campy pop punk. Styx music was as much about the performance and theater as it was making rock anthems. Spanning over three decades of releases, Styx has settled into a role that relies on nostalgia, playing concerts packed with folks wanting to hear the early stuff. The fact that these guys have the confidence and energy to return to a different music industry shows that sometimes a passion for the rock and roll lifestyle is all you need to keep going.
