Song of the Day #5,098: ‘No One Together’ – Kansas
When I think of Kansas, I think of ‘Dust in the Wind.’ So it doesn’t fit when I see them described as a progressive rock band, even though they are decidedly that.

Song of the Day #5,097: ‘We All Want Love’ – Rihanna
‘We All Want Love’ is a cut from Rihanna’s 2011 album Talk That Talk, at that point her sixth album in seven years. She released Unapologetic the following year, then took an uncharacteristic four-year break before dropping Anti, arguably her best work to date.
