"Best Thing" is the first single released by the band Styx from their self-titled debut album, Styx (1972). It charted at #82 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Cash Box said that "high vocal harmonies and tight, rocky organ and lead guitar work accentuate this dynamic, searing track."[2] Record World said that "strong percussion and organ riffs highlight this heavy rocker" and that it has "good harmonies, too."[3]
The song was also included on the 1979 US reissue of the band's fourth album, Man of Miracles
