  1. 1. Kansas VS Styx?



Recommended Posts

Those first 5 (or so) Kansas albums are pretty much unbeatable. Song for America is an all-time top 5 album for me.

I voted Styx over Kansas, to be fair I'm more familiar with the Styx catalog.

 

BTW when I read the thread title I saw Kansas VS Texas King.

I'm going to have to give those a listen.

Now I am pitting Styx against their real competitor - Kansas(not Stones). Both bands are from a same period and both are proggy(Kansas more, though).

 

I pick Kansas, no brainer. In my book no Styx song can top this:

 

You do understand why I did the Styx versus Stones poll, right?

 

And for me, Styx wins again. I love Kansas, but they aren't as exciting to me as Styx, and they don't always connect with me on the prog stuff.

First of all, f**k you for making me choose between two great bands...jk :)

 

....but I would probably choose Kansas due to the overall quality of their music, the fact that they set themselves apart from other rock bands by having a violinist, and the fact that their comeback album is among the greatest of all comeback albums.

Styx is more commercial pop than Kansas. The guys in Kansas were much better musicians. I agree about the first five albums being perfect. Definitely in my favorite albums of all time.

Me too. :)

 

That song seemed okay at first, but it hasn't held up for me. As for the rest of Drastic Measures, I hated it back then, and still do. No Robbie on violin and vocals, and too much of the Elefante brothers' influence. It's just not a Kansas album for me.

 

As for the other album with Elefante, I like about half of Vinyl Confessions (the Kerry songs), and the other half I skip over.
