EagleMoon Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Why are people making comparisons to Soringsteen? The two are not alike, so what is the point? I don't have to like Kansas, so I voted for Rush. What is the point of bringing Springsteen into the picture, its just silly? Didn't say you had to like Kansas. Just stating the fact that I like both compared to your hero. :D ok...fair enough. Lol I am overprotective of my man The Springster... Kansas honestly disappointed me. Hoped to be blown away, but it was boring. I played The Point Of No Return. Hard to judge a band by one song. It's like listening to Rush and only listening to Tai Shan.

Grover Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Kansas are in my top 5 or at least top 10. Part of me thinks the quality of Kerry Livgren's writing was as good or better than Rush for a short time. Steve Walsh was an amazing singer in his prime but his best performances were not on his own material, but on Livgren's. Kerry and Steve were quite good on piano and organ, respectively. Phil Heart is an excellent rock drummer but not in the same league as Neil, Bruford, etc. They had some very good acoustic and electric guitar playing by Livgren and Rich Williams, but not hall of fame playing. I credit most of their success to Livgren's writing. Robbie Steinhardt saidvthat unless he had a writing credit, his violin part was written out for him to play and I wonder if all the other parts were set in Livgren's compositions. As others have said, Livgren's writing became less interesting when his spiritual search ended, and Kansas lost steam. I enjoy most of the albums from Power onwards, but it' s not the same.
