The Best Of Times
Written by Dennis DeYoung, this first single from Styx's tenth album Paradise Theatre reached number 1 in Canada and number 3 on the US Billboard Hot 100 in March and April 1981. The band stopped performing the song live after DeYoung's dismissal in 1999, but returned it to their setlist in 2024 at a show in Halifax. DeYoung has continued to perform it regularly on his solo tours.
