Styx went all in on the 80s thing. Like you could have just put a robot on your album cover--you didn't have to do a concept album about a guy posing as a robot or something.

That Grace Slick record has some interesting lyrics:
"It's wrong for an Arab to drink liquor,But he's a real man if he has two wivesIt's wrong for a western man to marry two women,But he's a real man if he can drink all night
In Greece, take your wine glass and smash it on the floorThey say "Ha ha! How happy you are!"But here if you break your glass and behave bizzare,They're gonna kick you right out of that bar"
