Blue Collar Man - Styx

Another great song by Styx, this one kicks off with some solid keyboard work, and never takes off the throttle throughout this entire song. There is a lot of amazing musicianship being displayed here, especially in the drumming. Although seemingly mixed into the background, it is an incredibly elaborate rhythm delivered with incredible precision. One thing I've always loved about Styx is their ability to blend so many sounds together without any seeming overbearing. The guitar work is also top notch and I think James Young and Tommy Shaw deserve much more credit then they get for their musical abilities.
