I like both bands, but I vote for Kansas because Leftoverture and Song
for America are in a level that no Marillion album can compare.

Kansas is soft rock ? I begs to differ ... go take a listen to the first 5-6 Kansas albums. There's a reason that Steve Walsh wore gym shorts on stage. He jumped & hopped to the music. I wonder if the only Kansas song you may have heard is Dust in the Wind.

Not buying an album based solely on an album cover and a band's name? Pretty open minded.

That name thing is the big mistake some people make with Kansas which is ashame because they dismiss some amazing music by doing that (Kansas have hints of Heavy southern rock in places but are very progressive) , as far as the Misplaced Childhood CD goes (I like that cover) its a classic prog CD you should have purchased it. Now you miss out ... why ? because you closed your mind

This is the way I see it.
Marillion with Fish > Kansas
Marillion with Hogarth = Kansas

Taking both bands in their prime Marillion was by far beter

I am no stranger to Kansas, or "Magnum Opus." I stand by my earlier response.

Well I'm not fond of Marillion. Fugazi is great, but didn't like anything else I've heard of theirs.
Kansas grew on me after a while. Their first album, Leftoverture, Point of Know Return are all great albums.

Whoa, tight poll !
I won't vote because I only know Marillion (well I have Fugazi, Script for a Jester's Tear, Misplaced Childhood and Clutching at Straws and heard a few Hogarth era albums) and think they are OK (nothing more)...
What Kansas album would you recommend for me to start with ?

Incredible poll... Not much relation between the two, but a very close fight.... I don't LOVE Kansas style, though I like their music, just not that much. MArillion has three albums that crush anything by Kansas: MisChi, CluAtStr and Brave... That's enough for me. Marillion.

Leftoverture, Point Of Know return, Song For America are all highly recommended Ive been a fan of Kansas for years I mean decades and the same goes for Marillion , I`ll defend both bands if ever they get any flak that said I think me being spiritually inclined with a passion for drums and keyboards Kansas wins , but not by much its very foolish to claim that Marillion crush Kansas etc

Masque, Leftoverture, Point Of Know Return...you can't go wrong with these discs. Maybe Two For The Show, as it will give you an overview of their early stuff.
