About Rockers

Rockers is a compilation of songs by the band Styx. It was released in 2003. The album is notable for deliberately omitting any songs for which former member Dennis DeYoung was the primary or sole writer; even DeYoung-penned signature ballad-to-rocker hits such as "Queen of Spades", "Suite Madame Blue", and "Rockin' the Paradise" are missing. It was an attempt by the remaining members of the band to reposition Styx as a hard rock band and move away from the DeYoungian ballads that had marked the last few albums of their career and most of their biggest hit singles. Ironically, some of the Tommy Shaw songs on the album such as "Crystal Ball" and "Man in the Wilderness" are classic Tommy Shaw acoustic-based folk rock that only turn heavier in their back half. Other songs are more straight forward rockers.
