"The Best of Times" is the first single release from Styx's 1981 triple-platinum album Paradise Theater. It reached #3 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.

The basic melody line for "The Best of Times" is used in two other places on the album: As a bold greeting to the listener in "A.D. 1928", and a softer, more subdued version for the farewell track, "A.D. 1958".
