Styx is an American rock and roll band, popular in the 1970s and early 1980s, and touring again in the 2000s. They were the first band to have four consecutive triple platinum albums.

The group originally formed in the Chicago, Illinois area in the late 1960s as "The Tradewinds". This earliest line-up of the group included singer and keyboardist Dennis DeYoung, and a rhythm section comprising brothers Chuck and John Panozzo. Changing their name briefly to "TW4", the band added guitarists James Young and John Curulewski, and were soon signed to Wooden Nickel Records, under the name "Styx".
