I mean, don't get me wrong, I know age does something to a voice, but he wasn't that old in the 1990's. It seems like all through that decade, he just sounded horrible. However, I do think he really improved his vocals in the 2000's, and kept it sharp. I thought he sounded great on their last live DVD.

Get Seeds of Change yesterday!!
Get Schemer Dreamer, too, while you're at it. That's primo stuff.

1st full song has been dropped and sounds like classic Kansas to me.

In The Spirit Of Things has one of favorite Kansas songs. Inside Of Me. I did see them the a couple weeks of go with new singer. Sounded great. I think the additional musicians on stage helps fill out the sound. Closet Chronicles sounded really good.

I really don't mind ItSoT. It's just a running joke between Dave & I.
Leftovertrue will always be my favorite album, followed by PoKR.

The only song I can't stand on "Power" is "Secret Service". Besides that, "Silhouettes in Disguise", "Taking in the View", and the title track are all top-notch songs, in my opinion. The others besides the above-named "Secret Service" are good as well.Ghosts
Inside of Me
House on Fire
Counted on Love
Rainmaker
BElls of Saint James
"Ghosts", "Rainmaker", and especially "The Bells of Saint James" are great songs.
