    This was 83 and the drummer Rick Allen lost his left arm in a car accident in 85. But stayed with band and played on 87 album Hysteria onwards. I was reading about him and found this quote "What I've experienced through losing my arm, I wouldn't change. The human spirit is so strong."

This is their most popular album, along with the even more commercial Hysteria. The first couple albums had Wasted, Let it Go, Rock Brigade. High N Dry, and Bringing on the Heartbreak. React to some of these, especially Wasted or Let it Go.

    I was 14 years old when this was released and I wore out the cassette tape over that summer. I thought every song was so good. Sadly, 14 year old me couldn't afford to see them in concert on this tour.

    Imagine its 83' cruisin in your camaro around your local town. New stonewashed jeans, air jordans and blasting this song throught the Kraco speakers. I loved the 80's.

      What made it even more remarkable was having your own badass time machine, which made it possible to jump forward to 1985 when Nike released the Air Jordan.

    This was a big hit! They caught that MTV wave, and "Photograph" had a good music video for the time. I saw them in Wichita, Kansas at the Kansas Coliseum when this song was everywhere. I was 15 years old, and the girls in my group just HAD to be at the very front. There were no assigned seats back then, so once they opened the gates, we made a mad dash toward the stage. We got there, and I remember being up against the barricade feeling like the crowd would crush me, and it was great! Billy Squire opened. Ticket prices were $11. Good times!

    This album was a MONSTER in '83. So many hits and Photograph was on constant rotation on MTV -- back when MTV actually played videos 24-7. Ah, the good ol' days. But as huge as Pyromania was, it doesn't compare to Hysteria. Now that was a JUGGERNAUT. Long live Def Lep! 🤘🤘🤘

    Something told me when I first heard this song in '83 that they were going to have a long career. It's well deserved. I've always been impressed with how they stayed together when Rick Allen lost his arm.

    My favorite "patriotic jam" in Suite Madame Blue by Styx (Dennis DeYoung) from the Equinox album in 1975 in honor of the upcoming Bicentennial.

    "Another Hit and Run" off their "High-N- Dry" album shows them at their rawest best. Their whole " High-N- Dry" album is worth a listen.

    This really makes me smile and tear up at the same time. I was 26 and living in Dallas when this song was released. It reminds me of such great times, being young and living in a dynamic city.

    I was in high school when this came out. Went and saw them in concert on that tour. Had seats in the last row of the upper deck. We could touch the ceiling. They were pretty bad seats, but once the lights went down, we became gradually enveloped in a cloud of smoke (not tobacco) rising from the people below, and after a while we didn't care how bad the seats were.

    1983, Charlie Pascal lived next door in Barnard Hall and he’d blast Photograph every morning at 05:30 as we were getting ready for morning PT.

    Class of ‘85 here. I lived overseas and music didn’t travel as instantaneously as it does now. I’d come back to the States every summer and always remember my older cousin introducing me to the latest music. The memory of hearing this album for the first time is clear as day.
    Although, the first albums we purchased together in the summer of 1977 were Led Zeppelin IV by me and Styx Grand Illusion by him. He said then that Styx would end up to be more popular than Zeppelin.
    He’s probably listening to Yacht Rock now.
