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.
I guess I’m not the only one. In 1989, Kansas drummer Phil Ehart lamented that “we’re a hard rock band that’s known mostly for a ballad we did [over] ten years ago.”
