I honestly don’t know which to vote for, all maintain a really great standard of quality and each has some monster tracks, today I’ll vote song for America cause the title track and lamplight symphony are just out of this world, ask me another day and it might be leftoverture or the debut

Leftoverture is when all the right pieces fell into all the right spots.

Song For America..though Leftoverture is a close second for me...but as doug said above there are really nice tracks on all of their early albums.

Kansas was a take em or leave em band for me until I saw their documentary. Pretty amazing how they brought classically influenced rock to small-town, middle-America.
Anyway, Leftoverture, simply for Magnum-Opus. |

Those first 5 albums shows us one thing ... Kansas were very good back in the 70's.
I voted for Song For America though its close I like very much all those albums.

The debut flows really well and they were trying really hard to be a 'real' prog band. By Leftoverture they had evolved into a 'crossover' band! I'm never sure why that album gets so much love.

Although inferior to all its precdecessor (batr maybe Masque), I would've added Monolith to that list, if only because it's by miles their best artwork (both the outer and inner gatefolds)
Indeed, the debut is their best, IMHO And TBH, LO has only Magnum Opus and Cheyenne to get me listening up, as the rest bores me |

The debut is the one I go back to the most. It's really hard to compete with an album that has Belexes, Journey From Mariabronn, Apercu, and Death of Mother Nature Suite.
Not to say the others don't have some great prog songs, they do but taken as a whole, the debut works best for me.

Because it's freaking brilliant from end to end. Look, I'll take prog over pop any day, but having elements of crossover doesn't automatically invalidate music, even prog. That that album could crossover and still be so excellent is just extra testament to its greatness.
