The followup, 'Point Of Know Return' (1977) contained the ever-popular acoustic 'Dust In The Wind'. The Best of Times: 'Leftoverture', with the popular single 'Carry On Wayward Son', became a signature piece and pushed the album to platinum success. They suffered ridicule from people around the world, because they wore overalls and had a violonist, which made people think that they were a country music group. The third album, 'Masque', featured more pop songs and lyrically quite dark. Their second album, 'Song For America', saw a softening of KANSAS' sound, with more classical influences evident. The Early Days: Their self-titled debut album was released in 1974, but nationwide response was slow. With huge hits like 'Carry On Wayward Son' and 'Dust In The Wind', they helped define the sound of 'classic rock'.

Combining the musical complexities of British prog-rock with the soul and instrumentation of the American heartland, KANSAS became one of the biggest selling and most successful touring acts of the 1970s. They were from the beginning just an ordinary rock band, but were quickly compared to other progressive bands in the 70's like GENESIS, YES and KING CRIMSON.
