“Cornerstone is the ninth studio album by the American rock band Styx, released in 1979. Styx’s third straight multi-platinum selling album, Cornerstone was Styx’s first album to earn a Grammy nomination, which was for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group. Like the four previous Styx albums, the band produced the album themselves. Styx recorded the album at Pumpkin Studios in Oak Lawn, Illinois.

Cornerstone is best known for including the group’s only No. 1 Billboard Hot 100 Single, the power ballad ‘Babe’. The album also includes the folk rock song ‘Boat on the River,’ which was a hit in Europe, though it failed to chart in the United States.

Cornerstone became Styx’s first US Top 5 album, entering Billboard on October 13, 1979, and peaking at No. 2 in late November.

The album represented a musical transition for Styx, as the band emphasized its pop sound more than the progressive rock influences that dominated their first eight studio albums. Peaking at #2, the album was Styx’s highest album chart peak until its successor, 1981’s Paradise Theatre, which hit #1.

From a songwriting standpoint, Cornerstone is dominated by Dennis DeYoung and Tommy Shaw—each is credited as sole songwriter or co-writer for five tracks on the album (including two collaborations between the pair). ”
