| A few good popular songs. I'm not a big Kansas follower so thought the CD was ok. |

 Rediscovering classic rock

My teenager heard me listening to this the other day and commented to me about how the classic rock of the 70's was so much better than what is being produced today. I thought about it and it's quite true. When I listen to the radio today, I often wonder which of today's songs will still be around in thirty or forty years, and nonetheless popular.
The songs on this album are so timeless and well-known. I especially love Dust in the Wind, and the entire collection together on this CD is so well produced. The vocals- the instruments - the crystal clear sounds on this CD was better than the original. I'm glad they remastered it to bring out more from the original recordings than was possible before. |

 Start with the album "Leftoverture"

If you're looking for a single disk 'best of Kansas', you might want to check out "Playlist: The Very Best Of Kansas". It's two bucks cheaper right now and it includes one of Kansas' best songs, "Miracles Out Of Nowhere" from the album "Leftoverture". From "Point of Know Return" it includes "Portrait (He Knew)" which got quite a bit of airplay when that album came out.
But really, occasionally the album that put a band on the map in the first place is better than attempts at compiling singles or heavy airplay songs. Such is the case with this collection vs. "Leftoverture". "Leftoverture" was strong, start to finish, not a smidgen of gristle on that one. Based on its strength I bought the album before it (Song For America) and after it (Point of Know Return), and a friend of mine picked up Kansas' debut album. Each of those albums had moments but the keeper was "Leftoverture".
Try "Leftoverture" first, and if you're in dire need of a particular song from the best of, download it as an individual track. If you need to save a couple bucks, dispense with the two live bonus tracks appended to the current edition of "Leftoverture" and just download the original eight songs.

| I grew up with this group. Kansas is one of my favorites. Great music with great lyrics. I believe this is a must have if you don't already own it! |
