Format: Compilation

Description: Styx's entry into A&M's 1987 Classics series is one of the best, since it doesn't have too many questionable album track selections, instead preferring to pile on hits from "Babe," "Grand Illusion," and "Come Sail Away" to "Too Much Time on My Hands," "Mr. Roboto," and "Don't Let it End." Yes, there are a couple cuts missing here and there, but for the most part, this has nearly everything a casual fan needs.
