Kansas for me .. heard their early stuff you would know why ! BTW I don`t expect Kansas to win this poll because Dream Theater will pick up all the metal votes, this poll is doomed from the very start

Not really a conclusive poll as the bands are nothing alike really. However, for personal taste I'd go for Kansas- they aren't one of my fave prog bands (as yet anyway...), but I much prefer their approach to the all out, unremitting bombast of Dream Theater, and I love some of their songs. Certainly, imo, DT never have done a song anywhere near as well written as 'Carry On My Wayward Son' or a prog epic as perfectly formed as 'Journey From Mariabronn'. But I know many here love Dream Theater. |

I think KANSAS is more innovating than DT. Look, I like DT, but they are influenced by so many other bands...

I'm not against Dream Theater, one really Prog Metal band (Even when not my cup of coffe - I don't drink tea-), but Kansas has always been oine of my top 10 if not top 5 bands. Iván -------------

How can you compare these two bands? They're completely different. ------------- One likes to believe In the freedom of music But glittering prizes And endless Compromises Shatter the illusion Of integrity |

I'm in KANSAS side, but not because I dislike DT (what I realy do), but just for the reason that makes any musical forum useful: their music is rich, complex but very acessible at the same time, and beautiful.
BTW, Steve Walsh really did a lot of s**t with his voice. I can't hear Icarus or Belexes in Device-Voice-Drum without feeling pain in my ears, so this is a reason that can be counted against Kansas when you compare these bands today. But in terms of playing Kansas still kicks DT. |

Not exact Moodyxadi, Steve wasn't going to sing in that tour because he had a recent surgery in the vocal chords, I believed the problem was created because of some drug abuse (Had a previous one in 89 and Kansas had to cancel), but nobody could convince him to stay away from such an event, especially having kept clean for a long time. If you notice Robbie Steindhart covers him at various moments because he knew how dangerous was for Steve to make that effort. After that gig he rested for some time, and he's back again better than ever. Iván -------------

Gladly surprised, even though I voted for Kansas, I was sure that DT was going to wipe their a**es with the Topeka boys in this poll. I was wrong. Iván -------------

I'm not sure what the comparison criteria is for these "X vs. Y" polls, but of course I voted for Kansas. I agree with the couple people who have noted the two bands have very little in common to form the basis for comparison, but here's a couple of bullets to quantify some of the differences. This doesn't speak to the quality of either group's music, but I think does point to the scope of each's contributions: Productivity: Songs Kansas has covered - ------------- "Peace is the only battle worth waging."
