Can some more Kansas be added?
Seems you all just have the first eight with the original lineup and the reunion CD Somewhere To Elsewhere (and some Proto Kaw). All excellent and must haves, but can some others be added?
Vinyl Confessions is a really good one from the time when Walsh was replaced by John Elefante. This CD is actually more solid than the kinda spotty Audio-Visions that came right before it.
Power is the first of two from the Steve Morse era. I know there's a ton of Morse fans that listen that would enjoy this and the more progressive follow up (well, at least 1/2 of it) In The Spirit of Things. I'd love to request something like Rainmaker from that one... That CD is Steve Walsh's vocal peak.
Freaks of Nature from the early 90s features the amazing violin work of David Ragsdale, a guy that I know AM listeners would just love. He has a Ponty vibe. This album is one of their heaviest and a return an album with no commercial agenda, just good prog rock Kansas style.
The symphonic Always Never The Same is worth adding too, it features symph meets rock band reworkings of many Kansas greats and three originals.
Have a Happy New Year!
