Talk about the prog songs of both groups because I'm sick of just hearing Tom Sawyer, Freewill, and The Spirit of Radio,plus kansas like Carry Wayward Son, Point of know Return, and Dust in the Wind. Let's get more to the popular prog sides of both groups. Of course KANSAS is better than Rush, even in the 70's, but not by a whole lot!!


Uh no. They are not

LOL
fanboy much?

Lol. They actually have the better albums in my opinion. Kansas cannot compete with Kings and Hemispheres. Everyone has their own way of looking at things though. Lmaoo 😂😂

This time it´s Kansas. Closer is my least favourite Rush song from the seventies (rather listen their first album, but anyway don´t skip Closer when listening A Farewell).

see I disagree, the string of albums Kansas did from 1974 to 1978 can compete with any Rush album of the same time. Both bands did great music in that period.

Wayward Son, and that's saying something as I really loath Kansas.

what are you disagreeing with here? Or are you just disagreeing for the sake of it? LOL
Is it the fact that I think that Kansas were as good as Rush in the 70s? Is it that I think both bands did a great job in the 70s? What is it?

I've got lot of great memories of Closer to the Heart, and it was great to hear my favourite band of the late 70s getting air play on mainstream radio with it, and singing along with it live on numerous occasions - but against one of Kansas's best tracks, despite the over-playing on classic rock stations - Carry On Wayward Son gets my vote here.

What am I arguing? Look at the thread but then again everyone has their own way of viewing music.
