The Best of the Early Lineup

Styx is one of those puzzling bands that is truly great at their best, and just so, so bad at their worst.
Listen, this is just my opinion, but I feel that some of their biggest hits are abysmal trash, and some of their greatest songs are long forgotten, songs that received very little or no attention.
Equinox defies this premise to some extent. While I think the big single, Lorelei, is pretty bad, the other popular songs are great. Light Up and Suite Madam Blue are epic classics.
Then, true to form, there are the great forgotten songs Born for Adventure and Midnight Ride.
Styx didn’t reach their pinnacle until a couple of albums later but Equinox is clearly their finest effort to this point in their career.
