I think there was a thread like this before but my list has changed since then: Geodesic Dome Miracles Out Of Nowhere (Preferably the modern live versions with Swalsh's black metal vocals \m/) Taking In The View Belexes Andi On The Other Side It Takes A Woman's Love (To Mega Man) I Can Fly (another great example of Swalsh's black metal stylings) Lonely Wind Wheels -------------

From the Elefante era, it has to be "Incident on a Bridge." Excellent tune that gets overlooked.

Kansas was the perfect blend of prog-rock and arena rock....i preferred their prog ways better than their sellout stuff, although the song "the wall'' is still a killer cut. My favorite album is Song For America, which i first heard the summer before my senior year in high school, 1975.
My top 10:
10.Lonely Wind
09.Down The Road (here comes big mike I kinda owe him some beans!)
08.Magnum Opus
07.The Wall
06.Song For America
05.Lamplight Symphony
04,Incomudro-Hymn To The Atman
03.The Pinnacle
02.Icarus-Borne On Wings Of Steel
01.Apercu

Rainmaker 10. Down the Road Honourable Mentions: The Devil Game Freaks of Nature I Can Fly Paradox The Pilgrimage I realize I'm leaving out things like Song For America, Apercu, Journey From Mariabronn, but these are my personal favourites, not necessarily their best songs.
