The title track, for sure. "Lamplight Symphony" would be a close second.
I so love this album.

Hymn To The Atman. I love Kansas when they go into the spiritual side of their music.

This is my favorite Kansas album. It contains 4 of my favorite prog tracks in the Title, Lamplight, Incomudro and Devil Game and the other two are some great Blues Rock songs. Like all of the first three albums was not promoted well even though it has that great cover by the late Peter Loyd. It is hard to choose but I have to go with the Title track because to me that song will always be their signature song.

Okay-ish album. Only real highlight for me is the title track, it gets my vote.

Song For America is one of my favorite songs, and I actively dislike the rest

Lamplight Symphony tied with Song For America (Two For the Show version).

Zappa had 15 studio albums and three live ones released before 1975, and the Jazz Rock/Fusion scene had really exploded by this point here in the USA.  Regardless: I really enjoy Song for America and Lamplight Symphony, can't say I've heard the full album yet, though.
