Re: Kansas
I like Kansas. My favorite albums are their first two which are a bit darker and more prog related than the stuff that followed. I still like the rest of their 70's albums but not as much. I really haven't heard anything since the 70's although I like the Proto-Kaw's The Wait of Glory. Proto-Kaw is Kerry Livgren with a bunch of the original members of Kansas.

Re: Kansas
Kansas was another one of those groups from the 70's that got better with each album.
Favorite song is "Fight Fire With Fire" from Drastic Measures.

Re: Kansas
Well, to clarify... the majority of their music that I like is from the 70's, but "Fight Fire With Fire" is my favorite song from them.
In the second half of the 70's here in L.A., Styx, Kansas, Foreigner and Toto were all over the radio. It was a virtual prog-rock schmorgesborg.

OOPs! my bad. Runtfan you are absolutely correct. According to the RIAA, Pink Floyd is the most commercially successful with Genesis in the second slot for commercial success.

Re: Kansas
Power was released in 1986 with the reuniting of some of the original band members; Steve Walsh, Phil Ehart, and Rich Williams.
This album contained the hit single "All I wanted", which is a very sappy love song but received a lot of radio air time.
But don't get discouraged, the album was not a total loss.
Silhouettes in Disguise is more reminscent of the classic Kansas.
Secret Service has a great beat and the vocals are awesome.
We're Not Alone Anymore is another song with the classic sounds of Kansas.
Misicatto is especailly reminscent of Point of Know Return, excellent prog song!
Taking in the View another goodie, with some of the spiritual influence that Kansas has become known for.
This album is a hodge-podge of sounds, from pop to the classical progressive, I would still give this album high ratings. 4/5

Re: Kansas
^^you trying to rope me in for a suckers bet!! I cant take your dare, because I haven't listened to Livgren's solo album.
And besides, it is all a matter of taste. I may not like the solo album....who knows till I hear it
