"Between the lyrical and compositional complexity of guitarist Kerry Livgren's mind to Robby Steinhardt's rock-fused violin or Phil Ehart's timely drumming, Kansas was more than just an arena rock staple from the 1970s. The band's early work was filled with virtuosity, and even its breakthrough 1976 Leftoverture, anchored by the classic "Carry On Wayward Son," was commercially progressive. There might not be a more progressive ballad than 1978's "Dust in the Wind.""
