I've been a Styx fan since the very beginning. Not only do they do complex orchestration on some really good songs, but they feature Dennis DeYoung's piano a lot.
Come Sail Away was their first song I worked up. One of these days, I intend to go back and rework the second part with a stronger custom synthesizer lead.
