Two songs by two different progressive rock bands, both soft ballads from their debut albums that not only contain similar themes, but Kansas's "Lonely Wind" even begins with the lyric "When I'm needin' a friend I can talk to the wind".

Big Kansas fan here, but I admit they are beaten in this poll Cry i'm sure Steve Walsh will forgive me as King Crimson were such a huge influence on early Kansas work.

I love Kansas, but is their first album really prog...? TCOTKC on the other hand is the definition of prog.
