"The Grand Illusion is the seventh studio album by Styx
released on July 7, 1977
It launched the band to stardom, spawning the hit singles 
"Come Sail Away" and "Fooling Yourself", 
and selling over three million copies in the US.
According to keyboardist Dennis DeYoung, the album's theme was the struggle to overcome self-deluding superficiality in order to affirm one's genuine value. 
This theme was reflected in the lyrics of the album's title track:
So if you think your life is complete confusion
'cause your neighbor's got it made
just remember that it's a grand illusion
and deep inside we're all the same
 "Come Sail Away" is a song by American progressive rock group Styx, featured on the band's seventh album
The Grand Illusion (1977)
Upon its release as the lead single from the album, "Come Sail Away" charted at #8 on the Billboard Hot 100, and helped
The Grand Illusion achieve multi-platinum sales in 1978. 
It is one of the biggest hits of Styx's career. "

    All the syncheads were talking about 777 and 77 syncs on 7/7.
    I came here this morning and saw the count was 97,777.
    Pity the date today wasn't 7/7 though.
