92. Styx “Lady” (from Styx II)
This is thought by some music critics to be the first ever “power ballad”. Released by the band some 5 years prior to “Come Sail Away”, it’s a diamond among the dregs of their early albums, when they were trying to be the American version of Yes. And unlike some of Dennis De Young’s later efforts, “Lady” isn’t sappy or schlocky; even Tommy Shaw can’t really complain.
