Uber-rock group Styx released Paradise Theatre January 19, 1981, their tenth studio album. It went to #1 on the Billboard Album Chart and stayed for 3 weeks. It's the only album to reach #1 in the U.S. and the fourth consecutive triple-platinum.
It generated five singles, three of which made it to the top 10 on several charts. Too Much Time on My Hands (my favorite) reached #2 and Rockin' the Paradise made it to #8 on the Mainstream Rock chart. Too Much Time on My Hands went to #9 and Best of Times went to #3 on the Pop Singles Chart.
Dennis DeYoung wrote Best of Times and sang lead. Tommy Shaw wrote and sang lead on Too Much Time on My Hands. James Young wrote Snowblind with DeYoung and sang lead with Tommy Shaw.
Chuck Panozzo played bass guitar and his twin brother John played drums.
