Leftoverture, by far. Nothing Styx has released will compare to that, the reason being Styx has some great songs, but their albums (minus a few in the '70s) have so much filler. Everything Kansas released in the same decade is essential.

Stop all the Kansas hate. You all know you love the first four (or five) Kansas albums. Don't lie. Yeah, they had a couple hits but they were still awesome. Sorry.
Styx had a couple good records but Kansas was really good on the 70's.
And Adolf Hitler is wrong: they are Prog.

Kansas especially Leftoverture. Magnum Opus is superior to any Styx song.
but put any Kansas album against the best of Styx albums, and Kansas would get my vote. Maybe I'm biased.

Kansas by some margin, even though that is Styx's best album. So many fine tracks on Leftoverture.

I don't *hate* Kansas. I even gave them a proper listen. But it did nothing to explain why they are so popular here.
Is it an American thing?
