Styx is a Progressive rock act. Their sound grew out of Don Felder, The Babys, Night Ranger, Bad English and REO Speedwagon.

They run in the same orbit as Boston, Journey, Triumph, Billy Squier and Night Ranger, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into UFO, Spike, Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, Asia and Natalie Merchant, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
