I've been listening to Greenslade a lot recently thanks to the re-issues. They were a great band from a technical point of view and 2 keyboard players is yummy. I think Lawson added some much needed character to the band otherwise it would just have been a boring jazz rock combo. Kansas were absolutely a more interesting band up to about 1977 but then like a lot of US prog bands took a dive and got swept up within the American Coporate Rock Scene along with Boston, Forreigner and god forbid Reo Speedwagon .. yuck! That was a shame because they along with Chicago ( who also suffered the same fate to some extent) were massively important in their early days. Voted Kansas.

Greenslade, I find your lack of guitar disturbing. 

Meanwhile, Kansas knows how to rawk--I still like to rock.

Kansas too American and a bit straight rock at times. Greenslade had a strong 4 years then the first greenslade solo which is like the fifth greenslade album
All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock.

Greenslade never did much for me, hence my vote is ...

It's close, I figured Kanz had this 'un... but no, here come the Two Daves (sometimes even three!)

Another conflict vote for me.......I like the first 2 Greenslade better than my favorite Kansas albums but then I like my favorite Kansas  better than the later Greenslade albums.

Hi,

KANSAS is too much pop musik for me!
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!
