Maybe, Saga fits the bill.  They are kind of a Prog/AOR type band.

Well...though some might disagree , I would try some of the Neo Prog bands if I were you.
They are more sophisticated but not by much at times.
Marillion (Hogarth era), IQ, Arena, Pendragon, etc...

This might be 'heavier' but is it really..?

There are songs by Swiss-Italian group Clepsydra that sound Styx-ish, chiefly in the style of the vocalist being at times like Dennis de Young

This would be Styx best song if they had done it Big smile

The American band Ambrosia might appeal to you if you like Styx and Kansas.

As the titles says, do any of you guys know of any bands that sound like Styx from 1972 to 1978, or like Kansas's first five albums.
