1996 Concert Paradise Tour. True musicians performing this timeless classic by Dennis DeYoung that will continue to be enjoyed a hundred years from now and beyond. A great show band that always ran a clean act, and proves a good example for musicians to this day. • • The Best of Times is the first single release from Styx's 1981 triple-platinum album Paradise Theater. It reached #1 in Canada on the RPM national singles chart, their second #1 in that country, and #3 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. • • The basic melody line for The Best of Times is used in two other places on the album: As a bold greeting to the listener in A.D. 1928 , and a softer, more subdued version for the farewell track, A.D. 1958 . • • The song was featured in the 1999 movie Big Daddy, in which Adam Sandler's character is a Styx fan. • Current members • • James J.Y.
