Why not?
I can't help but notice there are no "prog" related questions or choices in this poll
Unless you take Prog to mean "progressive" as in "progress" and this is a "progression" from the 3.4 million "prog polls" Gandalff posts. So maybe it is a "prog" poll
Since it didn't work out for Genesis, I'm not sure Kansas would have benefitted from his contributions either. I read that Bruford loves to improvise onstage, so keeping to the straight and narrow in a composition wouldn't suit him. That is why he stuck with King Crimson.

Dunno, I wouldn't expect so, but I do think I'd like Kansas more if Christian Vander had replaced Eh..., erm, that drummer from Kansas. Dust in the Wind in Kobaian would be awesome.

I focus most on drumming, then on bass and then I trick my brain to follow both keybord and guitar, and then I splitt my brain in 4 branches one for drum one for bass one for guitar and one for keybord, then i bind them together in one coheseve sound, I then listen to all sounds in four different layers I have even trained a skill to close of one instrument to focus on others, then I also can get a full pictrue of all the instruments silmuntainiously

Maybe. I think Ehart is to Kansas what Squire is to Yes. But considering Bill went from Yes to King Crimson, did a live stint with Genesis, and then his own band, I'm sure he'd be up to the task. So no vote from me since you didn't make maybe an option.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...
I was listening to Yes and King Crimson after Kansas and I came to the conclusion that Phil Ehart's drumming is the "opposite," as it were, of Bill Bruford's.
Whereas Bruford is kind of loose with his snare, his rhythms, and even his sound (not a criticism at all), Ehart is far tighter. While Ehart is the rhythmic backbone of Kansas, Bruford seems to play around the other musicians in whatever band he is in.
I don't know if that makes any sense- it was just an observation I've been having over the past several days.

I often think of John Weathers as the opesitte of Bill Bruford but Ehart is also a good contender
yes i often thought Phil Ehart are binding the Kansas sound together much like a piece of glue,
just listen to the incanly fast rock groove on the GG song Way of Life, sound like standard rock drum groove, only its much faster and very pre-on beat
sounds like a AC/DC drum groove only much tighter and faster
