J.Geils band ..Moody Blues.. The Monkees...Robin Trower group.. Marshall Tucker band..Paul Butterfield.. Kansas..
Kansas is unfortunately one of many 1970s AOR / arena bands that never get any respect from the music elitists / critics. I'm hoping with Journey's induction last year, that might open the door for more of the Kansas, Boston, Styx, REO, type bands.
