80s Music Question 10
STYX: Who Am I? - I have been called the creative genius behind Styx and, although we had no lead singer, for years I was considered by the media to be the "Front-Man" for the group. I was one of the founders of The Trade Winds, but I was fired from Styx in 1979 and again twenty years later. My most notable solo effort was "Desert Moon". I also wrote the first Styx song to go #1, and had the ideas for the concept albums of the late '70s and early '80s. I liked to create more melodic music and was well known for on-stage flamboyance and theatrical productions. Do you know who I am?
The correct answer is 'Dennis DeYoung'
Dennis was asked to leave in 1999, and later sued Styx for touring without him. Styx would not have been Styx without him!
