The Best of Kansas is the first compilation album from the American progressive rock band Kansas. It was originally released in 1984, and featured one new track, "Perfect Lover", written by then-lead vocalist John Elefante and his brother Dino Elefante.

Point of Know Return, 03:11. Dust In the Wind, 03:25. Song for America, 09:06. Unfortunately, the station stopped broadcasting. Perhaps, this is a temporary station problem. You can leave your e-mail and we will let you know when the broadcast of the station will be online again: Or listen to the other country dec name stations.

Of course, no Kansas best of album go without "Carry on Wayward Son" or "Dust in the wind. As usual a couple of the songs have been cut short slightly, but in these cases it isn't a major loss. Just to clarify, "The Best of Kansas" was remasterd in 1999 and three additional songs were included, The Pinnacle "The Pinnacle", "The Devil Game" and "Closet Chronicles.

Mastered By – Jeff Glixman, Vic Anesini. Producer – Jeff Glixman (tracks: 1, 2, 4, 5, 9 to 11), Kansas (2) (tracks: 3, 6 to 8, 12). Notes. This compilation originally released in 1984.

Quite possibly the best Kansas album (excluding compilations) throughout their 40+ year career. Notable songs include the Title track, The acoustic guitar ballad Dust in the Wind, the extremely underrated Paradox, the political comparison piece that was Sparks of the Tempest, the somewhat eerie Nobody's Home, and the slightly preachy but certainly true Hopelessly Human. This is a brilliant album. Phil Ehart said once that it was one of Kansas' best. Some fans might say that what makes Kansas great is their unique prog rock music reflected in albums such as Leftoverture rather than this more mainstream AOR style. However, there is no denying this a quality album, well produced and with many great tunes. ghosts" and "Bells of Saint James"are my fave songs on the album. I would put this in the top 5! - Shugs.

Kansas is considered one of the best 70s rock bands by many. This Kansas discography is ranked from best to worst, so the top Kansas albums can be found at the top of the list. To make it easy for you, we haven't included Kansas singles, EPs, or compilations, so everything you see here should only be studio albums.
