I had their s/t and a Best of in my hands this past weekend at the used shop, based on this thread topic, but decided against both at the last minute in favor of Michael Monroe and old Alice Cooper.

I think I'll be happier with those 2 choices in the long run.

Not Fakin' It. I had it on tape ages ago and decided to upgrade. I like the song 'Dead, Jail or Rock n Roll'. The used shop was running a sale, 3 for $15.

That's easily his best solo album.

We'll see. I brought it into work this week. I honestly couldn't remember a thing about it other than that one song. I think I might have even purchased the tape as a new release as I was on a big Hanoi kick at the time. Of course, seeing him duet with Axl Rose in the video didn't hurt either.

Sorry folks, didn't mean to derail your Kansas thread. Carry on, wayward sons...

Masque is my fave by far. It's probably their heaviest and darkest- plus it didn't really get burnt out by the radio like their next two classics. It has some metal on it by 1976 standards.

As much as I like other livgren stuff like his debut solo album seeds of change and the A.D stuff, im not too familiar with Kansas. I think I will listen to shawn and try out those first 5. Cool

Speaking of Livgren, check out the album When Things Get Electric for some good Livgren sytle AOR.

It also has the mega-lame "It Takes A Woman's Love (To Make A Man)"... Best and Worst of KANSAS? - Page 2 201269

Yeah, That's the one the record company wanted them to write and so that they would have a single amongst all that heavy material. That song does not fit the mood that the rest of the album has.... Goofy Steve Walsh tune.
