Voted for "Point of Know Return."

My favorite song of theirs is "Miracles Out of Nowhere."  That's on Leftoverture. I think "Magnum Opus" is one of their weaker long-form tracks though (it's where the album draws it's title, as  the album itself was going to be Magnum Opus and the last song was leftover pieces from the recording sessions). I guess if you put a gun to my head, it would be Song for America (and there's another joke in there somewhere for you Psych Paul). I glad to see some appreciation for Somewhere To Elsewhere. Ironically (and very annoyingly) since I moved, the CD has gone somewhere and I'm still searching for the bloody thing. I really want to play it and it's not readily available for streaming. There's this in a pinch.  The index of tracks is in the description. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7a8ERidrrc

Song for America, my first Kansas LP

Leftoverture followed closely by Song for America.

Leftoverture

Leftoverture. Don't hate it for being popular - it was when all their best elements came together.

The title track to SfA and Magnum Opus are maybe the two best things they ever did. Except for "Incomudro," "Journey from Mariabronn," "Miracles Out of Nowhere"...you see where this is going.
