My most played album # 71. Styx - The Grand Illusion. The seventh studio album was released on July 7, 1977. It all came together for this album, their best album cover, Dennis DeYoung’s best song “Come Sail Away” peaked at #8, Tommy Shaw’s best song "Fooling Yourself (The Angry Young Man)" peaked at #29, James "JY" Young‘s best song “Miss America”. The title song is another great hit! Overplayed but I still love it! I did not help, I played it to death in my teens, still one of my most played albums. It sold 3 million copies, peaked at #6 on the charts, sometimes I like popular stuff.

A great album. "Man in The Wilderness" is a masterpiece. "Grand Illusion" is amazing too. one of the best works of classic rock. Hard to choose a couple of songs to highlight. All tracks are outstanding. Perfect album
