Kansas in the top 100

   I want to say option 5, but, for the moment, I don't think I have enough prog records - let alone Kansas records - to make a final vote.
Maqsue was the first one I listened to and I think that was the best.

	When I joined PA 'Leftoverture' and 'Point of Know Return' were both in the Top 100 and 'Song for America' was bubbling a bit under. Sure, I'd like to see those three as well as 'Masque' and 'Somewhere to Elsewhere', and even the reconstructed first Proto-Kaw in the Top 100. But ultimately that's up to the 50,000+ global membership to decide with their reviews and ratings, and aside from Zappa and Miles Davis most American artists tend to be somewhat discounted by large portions of our membership.

	I didn't vote yet...have to think on this one. I am a fan of Kansas though and really like all the early ones up to and including Point of Know Return. I might prefer Song For America but still not sure about where they fit into the top 100.

	I just noticed that Kansas's Leftoverture has entered the PA top 100 for the first time that I can remember since being a member of PA. As of typing this, it is sitting right at 100. Now I realize that the PA top 100 is based on multiple ratings by site members, but to answer the question, think of your top 100 prog albums and answer whether or not you personally think Leftoverture belongs there. If not, do you think any of Kansas's albums should be in the top 100 best all-time prog albums? Edited by zwordser - February 07 2015 at 16:16
