1977 - 45 Years Ago - Styx released their seventh album The Grand Illusion. They chose this date because 7-7-77 for luck. It worked, the album was a smash spawning two singles "Come Sail Away" (#8) and "Fooling Yourself" (The Angry Young Man) (#29.)
Famously, the song appears as a plot point to the South Park episode "Cartman's Mom Is Still a Dirty Slut." If Cartman hears any portion of the song, he feels a compulsion to sing the rest of it.
The album also contains the title track and "Miss America" that get rock radio play.
This was definitely one that I wore out!
