Styx – Blue Collar Man (Long Nights)
Blue Collar Man (Long Nights)Styx

A hard rock number from Styx, who rose to popularity in the late 1970s by blending progressive rock with arena rock, included on their 1978 album Pieces of Eight.

Written by guitarist Tommy Shaw, inspired by a friend who was fired from a railroad company, the song powerfully gives voice to workers who keep chasing their dreams.

Its straightforward rock sound—built on a heavy guitar riff that reportedly came about by chance during a tour soundcheck and energized by dynamic vocals—is truly an anthem for working people.

It peaked at No.

21 on the Billboard Hot 100 and remains a live staple to this day—a perfect track to play when you’re worn out from work.
