What a list and a tough choice. I went with Boston but on another day it could be somebody else.

Styx has Tommy Shaw and he's great and he does a good job fronting Styx without Dennis DeYoung. Miss America is an awesome song in particular and the album Grand Illusion is not without merit. Make no mistake, Dennis DeYoung is repulsive.

Journey has Neil Schon who can be really good but I do hate most their songs. I spent a summer riding shotgun while my buddy let his 8-track of Infinity play half the summer; my lost summer.

Foreigner...they are competent and something reminds me of Mott The Hoople but it certainly isn't the lyrics except for, "Headknocker, I think he's going to blacken your eye". Brilliant!

Kansas was just at the right place right time as far as popularity and "Carry On My Wayward Son" really is a near perfect mix of prog and mainstream. Budgie should have been so lucky.

Boston wins because they were a new breed of dinosaur as the original dinosaurs were dying out. Sweeping organ and soaring guitars. It was Deep Purple Light. I vote 'Less Filling'.
