Biography

Edit

Though they'll go down in the history books for "Dust in the Wind", Kansas should really be celebrated for proving that prog-rock heroes can come from pretty much anywhere. Beginning in the 70s from their hometown of Topeka, Kansas, the group produced a wild mix of rock anthems, introspective ballads, and loose jams on their studio albums. The immensely popular hit "Dust in the Wind" (off 1977's Point of Know Return) is hardly indicative of the full-bodied, keyboard-and-violin-fueled anthems that grace most of their albums, but it remains one of their best-loved tunes.
