in the styx

In Classical (Greek and Roman) mythology,the Styx is the river that separates the living from the dead. It is the river that separates the living from hades (hell).

The expression "out in the Styx " means far away from civilization, where nothing much happens.

The spelling "sticks" is incorrect. It should be "Styx".

Styx is the river which forms the boundary between Earth and the Underworld, according to Greek mythology.

River of Death in Greek mythology

1. A progrssive rock band that specialized in power ballads and reigned from the early 70's to the early 80's. Rather than the just the 80's. Similar sounding (but far superior) to REO Speedwagon.

2. A rivr mentioned in the book of Genisis and Greek legend.

A band that kicks ass! Especially with Lorelei and COME SAIL AWAY!

One of the greatest American rock bands ever formed. With a long active career that lasted from the early 70s to the mid 80s, Styx scored numerous hits such as "The Grand Illusion", "Blue Collar Man", "Pieces of Eight", "Babe", "Fooling Yourself (The Angry Young Man)", "Too Much Time On My Hands", and "Love Is The Ritual".
As other people have mentioned on here, Styx does have a similar sound to REO Speedwagon. That is because they play related forms of rock music, and they are both from Illinois, which explains the identical-sounding vocals.

1. One of the greatest rock bands of the 80's. Which means one of the best ever because new music sucks!

2. Caught a bad rep because critics are cynnical assholes!
