Styx

Styx is a swell Hard Rock band from Chicago formed in 1971, although they are also classed as Progressive Rock even though their longest song is 13 minutes, and also happens to be their only song split into suites.
Despite largely being classed as a classic rock band, they aren't talked about very often by many people despite being on the same level of popularity as Kiss at one point. WatchMojo.com never even give them an honorable mention or show them in their videos at all, which is complete bullshit. Even Kansas, another band they have never given any spots on their lists to, have been given an honorable mention. 
They initially disbanded in 1984, but then got back together in the early 90s with an album of mainly ballads until they realized AOR wasn't cool anymore so they broke up again, but then they got back together in 1995 so everything's cool now.
Another bullshit thing about Styx is that their albums tend to get just trashed on by Rolling Stone. A grand majority of their work is given very low ratings by them, with only Grand Illusion having a fair rating. Allmusic gets it though, they actually give their albums fair ratings. Whoever wrote those reviews on Rolling Stone is a fucking retard.
