OK, Before the discography police catch me , I cheated a little here . Masque came out after Song for America but I thought this was a better match up. ( Both were released in 1975)  So who do you pick?

Renaissance. Kansas had too much AOR.

Renaissance, especially these three albums, spends much more time on the turntable than Kansas.
Welcome to the middle of the film.

Kansas. Song for America and Leftoverture are perfect albums. Kansas is one of the best bands ever.

Renaissance is awesome, but I like Novella better than any of those.

Renaissance for me.

A 1983 Kansas (Drastic Measures) vs. 1983 Renaissance (Time-Line) album poll might be a tough choice for some.

It would be an easy one for me, Drastic Measures is listenable, Renaissance in the 80s, not so much.

I have those Kansas albums, but I don't think I've played any of them for 20 years. I just find Kansas pleasant, but no more.
I have all those Renaissance albums and I play them regularly. Magnificent.
No contest for me.

Renaissance - arguably their 3 best, though I'd put Song for All Seasons into the select group as well

The same. I guess I never reached the point of know return.

I always cared more for the music of Kansas and I don't think that will change if I listened again to those Renaissance albums... (I like me some good AOR!)
