I would have thought Kansas would be an immediate choice for this thread, with both `Carry On Wayward Son' and `Dust In The Wind' being the two singles that get all the attention.
It's a shame if casual listeners dismiss them because of these two, as pretty much their first five albums at least are all mostly superb!
True. I really like those first 5. Also I think for being hits, those songs are both pretty good. I'm just so glad "It takes a woman's love to make a man" never took off. That would have been terrible.
I was so disgusted when I bought my 1st Kansas album Masque and dropped the needle and that's what I heard! I almost gave up there and returned it to the store
Luckily I kept going and was knocked out by Mysteries & Mayhem/The Pinnacle

Totally agree, guys, that was why I actually went back an edited my post to say `mostly superb' for those first five albums, `Masques' being the `mostly'!
All good once you get into the guts of the album, but the closest to a weaker link in that set of the first five.

Happens to be my favorite thing Kansas has ever done
Glad they were able to prove they could get a lot more fans playing what they wanted instead of what the record company wanted.

Ya, they had amazing chops and could really write great pieces...who knows what an amazing prog band they could have been without cheesy Don Kirschner breathing down their necks

I've actually never heard Nights in White Satin by the Moody Blues that I know of, but I'm a big fan of "Days of Future Passed" and "In Search of the Lost Chord"
Nights in White Satin (+ Late Lament) is "The Night" on Days of Future Passed, so you've probably heard it.

Coheed and Cambria - Welcome Home. Many people (my friends included) seem to have heard this before since its the only radio play they've had, but they don't know anything else about the band. Also they play it in the encore of every concert without fail
There were a couple other songs(The Suffering got a lot of airplay around 06/07) but Welcome Home got real big and that's all anyone who was a musician around here would play from them . Maybe that's because all the other songs from that album actually had guitar parts and not power chords

Goblin seems to be identified (too) frequently by either title track of Profondo Rosso or (more usually) Suspiria...when they have an entire row of albums to listen to!
