Kansas is such a weird band...I love their epics but at the same time absolutely hate their radio hits...or even worse their blatant attempts at radio hits like the horrid "it takes a woman's love to make a man" LOL

Anyway, my fave epic has to be The Pinnacle (though I always consider Mysteries & Mayhem to be connected to The Pinnacle).

At first glance, I would probably choose Journey from Mariabronn but Magnum Opus is right there too.

Kansas will always have a special place in my heart for the bands run of seventies albums and a good balance between lush symphonic tracks and hard rocking beasts. Kansas "long tracks" (well there is only one longer than ten minutes, so i'd better call them epics) belong in my opinion to the most well crafted songs in the genre so i wondered, which of theirs is your favourite? As an epic I would call these following tracks:

Journey from Mariabronn (Kansas)
Apercu (Kansas)
Death of Mother Nature Suite (Kansas)
Song for America (Song for America)
Lamplight Symphony  (Song for America)
Incomudro   (Song for Amercia)
All the World (Masque)
The Pinnacle (Masque)
Magnum Opus (Leftoverture)
Closet Chronicles (Point of Know Return)
Hopelessly Human (Point of Know Return)
Myriad (Somewhere to Elsewhere)
Distant Vision (Somewhere to Elsewhere)
Voyage of Eight Eighteen (The Prelude Implicit)

For myself, after a long inner fight between Song for America, The Pinnacle and Hopelessly Human I have to go with The Pinnacle of my favourite Kansas record.
Would love to hear your opinions
