Album: Equinox
Year: 1975

So before we get into all of this utter madness, here is a Styx fact that you probably didn’t know: when they had their first massive hit, “Lady,” they were an indie band. It’s true: the first four Styx albums — Styx, Styx II, The Serpent is Rising and Man of Miracles — were all on a Chicago independent label called Wooden Nickel records. And “Lady,” which was originally released as a single in 1973 and ended up at #6 in the spring of 1975 because of reasons, was from Styx II. Given that this was the early 1970s, one can only conclude that Styx were indie rock pioneers!
