Okay, that was a reach. Granted, at the time the aforementioned song was considered a little pompous and unintentionally cheesy compared to their Hard Rock efforts, but the fact remained that Styx had delivered radio staples for ten years previous. Originally, an artsy Progressive Rock band, Styx broke away from that mold with the addition of Tommy Shaw and delivered many significant Hard Rock tunes and power ballads. Styx does have a series of hits that keeps them in the public consciousness, but considering they are either often labeled a Progressive Rock or Arena Rock band (both of which appear to be looked down upon by the voting committee) will likely keep them out of Cleveland.
