I often see people comment how the 80's were the best decade for music and there is no doubt that there were some great and memorable pop/rock songs in that era. However if you dive deeper into 70's music, its pretty obvious which period had more quality across the genres.

@@Progbassist people that say 'the 80's' are probably mostly those who grew up in the 80's, that for many it was their initiation into really getting into music with their friends -- it's 'home' for them nowadays so they're partial to that.

Back when we still had real music....

They still make good music, it just requires searching. Good stuff used to be top 40 on the radio. Nowadays, the best stuff goes largely unnoticed. Check out 1) Nathaniel Rateliff " time makes fools of us all" released 3 days ago 2) War On Drugs " clean living" 3) Beth Hart - Spirit of God. Even the old bands are making their best stuff. Styx's 2017 album " the mission" is their best ever. Check out " red storm".

Amazing Progressive Band !!! KANSAS 🖤

This song has so many time changes within the first 45 seconds and it just rocks every moment.

Love this song! Kansas was a great band from the 70's. Their musical style is a fusion of hard rock, southern rock & progressive rock. "Carry On Wayward Son" & "Dust In The Wind" are their 2 biggest hits. But they had other good songs such as "Point Of Know Return", "Hold On", "People Of The South Wind", "Play The Game Tonight", "Fight Fire With Fire", "All I Wanted" etc.

This whole album is just top-tier. Absolutely amazing. There are no fillers

Hoping this is the first of many Kansas reactions- Glimpse of Home, Miracles out of Nowhere and Closet Chronicles are other must do songs for the channel just to name a few 🤘

This, is the greatest song ever written. That’s all I have to say about that. 🤟🏼

1976 on American Mainstream Radio you would have heard Carry On My Wayward Son (Kansas), Lowdown (Boz Scaggs), Takin' it to the Streets (Doobie Brothers), Kid Charlemagne (Steely Dan), I Wish (Stevie Wonder), More Than a Feeling (Boston), Hotel California (Eages), Go Your Own Way (Fleetwood Mac), Night Moves (Bob Seger), American Girl (Tom Petty & Heartbreakers), Somebody to Love (Queen), The Masquerade (Goeoge Benson), The Things We Do for Love (10cc), New York State of Mind (Billy Joel), Can't Hide Love (Earth, Wind, & Fire), Getaway, (Earth, Wind, & Fire), The Pretender (Jackson Browne), Mainstreet (Bob Seeger), Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap (AC/DC), Livin' Thing (ELO), Blinded By the Light (Manfred Mann), Don't Fear the Reaper (Blue Oyster Cult). Rich Girl (Hall & Oates), Lido Shuffle (Boz Scaggs), Still the One (Orleans), Fox on the Run (The Sweet), You're My Best Friend (Queen),

What could be more perfect for the 4th of July than classic rock. And this was killer. Every second was KILLER. Thank. You. Nick.

A song truly worthy of a firework finale. Great choice. Made the 4th pop even more.

Part of the soundtrack of my teenage years. I was blessed to grow up during the 70s music scene.

Best outro of any song ever! The whole album is just beautiful!

Phil Ehart -- seriously underrated and underappreciated drummer. My drum teacher in college, who had been a Vegas show drummer in the 70's, was a big fan of Phil's.

So good in the 70's. Seen them when I was in high school. One of my favorite drummers.

Such a classic rock song, I’ve always loved this one. You have to be dead not to move to this groove.

Just transport me back to 1978. Saw them in New Haven Connecticut. One of the best summers ever. I saw The Eagles, Styx, Jackson Browne, Frampton, Boston, Foghat, Kiss, The Outlaws, and The Moody Blues. And a little known band called Van Halen who opened up for Black Sabbath. Sabbath had a bad night after Van Halen left the stage. People went nuts for Van Halen. 15 year old me was transformed that year. I must have done a lot of babysitting because my parents never would have paid for a concert ticket for me.

Van Halen opening for Sabbath was my very first concert, but in San Diego. Amazing amazing amazing concert!!!!!

He has such a beautiful voice. (Plus...Supernatural!)

A song with a similar vibe that NO ONE reacts to is "Last Chance" by the band Shooting Star. Multiple movements, dramatic vocals, GIANT drums. I think you'd love it. Very inspired by Kansas.

Yeah it hit us pretty much the same way back in 1976, I owned this LP as soon I could purchase it, a few days after hearing it on the radio. Kansas certainly did make a name for themselves, they still are very distinct, for me anyway, 48 years old and it still just rocks.

Thank you for sharing this musical masterpiece. Kansas has often offered incredible pieces of magical wonder. Good to see your reaction, as well!

Back in the 70's Kansas was recording in a studio adjacent to a studio where Heart was also cutting an album. When Ann Wilson (one of the most iconic singers, male or female, in all of rockdom) heard Steve Walsh singing, she paused their recording and went next door to see who the hell was behind that incredible voice! That's pretty high praise.

A little trivia for you. Back in the mid-nineties, there was a baseball player for the San Francisco Giants named Mark Carreon. Every time he hit a homerun or got a highlight worthy hit, Chris Berman on Sports Center would say, "It's Mark Carreon My Wayward Son." Obviously, in reference to this song. Chris was legendary for making the music references with athletes.

The Theme Song of Supernatural.

The 70's is the greatest era of music ever! I'd expand to 50's-70's.

Kansas are genius musicians and song writers beloved worldwide they filled huge stadiums all over the world ❤️🕊️🙌👏👏

THANKS GUYS 😁🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

As a caregiver and single parent of my special needs son I really identify with the lyrics😢 The actual music is fantastical!

I've heard this song many years ago and it really is unforgettable. The only thing on the same level were Nick's faces during listening. I thought I'm the only one who makes them but I was wrong. The harmonies, transitions and energy are legendary. Awesome pick!

This song is just what I needed for the 4th of July, I congratulate America on Independence Day! 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 This song had great arrangements and transitions, bass, guitars, vocals, organ, just perfect, this song will be included in my personal playlist.

This entire album is absolutely one of the greatest rock albums ever. They are such great musicians and were so incredibly tight on this recording that every song is amazing.

The song with the best vocal intro ever recorded. You couldn't do much wrong! Chapeau!

Got to LOVE this song and Nick's face throughout!!!

Dust In The Wind is my favorite by them.

I saw them in concert when they were on tour promoting this album release , with Bad Company. What an amazing concert. Sweet memories !

I think this song is about returning vets. The different tempos shows the various emotions. Anger, fear, horror, insomnia. Then the lyrics....listen how they accurately reflect those emptions. In particular, the returning Vietnam vets, who were DRAFTED and were spit on and reviled. Young boys who had no idea about politics......exposed to horrific tragedies. "Lay your weary head to rest...dont you cry no more." Listen again now and think about it.

One word to describe this song! EPIC!

"Nothing equals the splendor" greatest line in rock.

A completely perfect song from start of finish. I also heard someone say it’s a song full of hooks, from the vocals to the riffs to the solos, they’re all hooks and that sounds correct to me. It all hooks you in

You should watch the video of them performing it live! It's fantastic!

Saw them live in LA in 1982 and will se them again this August. They are quite the band, even live.

The lead singer & drummer of the band FIDLAR once did this at Karaoke. That says so much about that band.

This is a BANGER!! Unofficial theme song of a little show😊called Supernatural that ran from 2005-2020. It’s played at different times throughout the 15 yrs of the series. It fits the story lines in that series to a T! Jensen Ackles&Jared Padalecki were playing brothers whose journey was tough. NOTE: There’s a live concert vid from the 70’s that I wish you would find and watch. In 2024 it’s both funny&Amazing.

I was 13 when I first heard this and every other 70s song. It was a fun time because all we had to do was listen to music and soak it all into our little sponges and now its stuck in mine forever. ❤😅

Lads you must watch the live version of this lead singer Steve Walsh is unreal

I'm 69. Saw them in concert in 1977. Opening band was Loverboy. Great night!! They don't make music like that anymore!

This came out year I graduated from high school and they have been my favorite band since. Steve Walsh is the greatest rock singer of all time! Actually there is nothing he can’t sing

My favorite band of all time: Steve Walsh-Lead Vocals, Keyboards, Percussion, Kerry Livgren-Guitars, Keyboards, the main song writer, Robbie Steinhardt-Violin and Lead Vocals on some songs, Phil Ehart-Drums, Rich Williams-Guitars, and Dave Hope-Bass. Carry On Wayward Son was the song that was their first hit, their debut, Song For America, Masque were their albums before Leftoverture. Their first 3 album were superb, in my opinion, but like Boston's debut, not a bad song on Leftoverture. Point Of Know Return is superb, Monolith and Audio Visions great as well. Vinyl Confessions came next featuring John Elefante as their new lead vocalist-Keyboards and guitars, great as well, but without Steve Walsh. Drastic Measures was next, not great, but had some good songs. I lost track after their album Power, but The Prelude Implicit and Absence Of Presence are stellar! Thank you for reacting to my favorite group since 1974! I hope you react to more! Anything from Leftoverture and Point Of Know Return(Dust In The Wind or Point Of Know Return are great choices, they're the hits), Closet Chronicles, Lighting's Hand, Sparks Of The Tempest, Nobody's Home are all great choices. Hopefully you'll react to Can I Tell You, Lonely Wind, The Pinnacle, Song For America, Incomudro-Hymn To The Atman, Icarus Borne On Wings Of Steel, People Of The Southwind, Relentless, Hold On, Got To Rock On, Play The Game Tonight, Chasing Shadows, Window's, Crossfire, Fight Fire With Fire, End Of The Age, and Incident On A Bridge. Again Thank you, I hope you're well! I'm looking forward to your reaction!

70's obligatory Al Stewart comment🙂: I went to my first Al Stewart concert last night, absolutely fantastic! You must see him while he is touring! Fan since Song on the Radio was a song on the radio. Only Al would do an encore with a song about William McKinley (25th president) and explain how his election strategy is a life lesson for dealing with relationship breakups. Your Al Stewart reaction videos are the only reactions I rewatch, and I'll watch them every few months. Back to your regularly scheduled great Kansas comments...!

A cornerstone of classic rock….iconic. Guys, c’mon…..anytime you run a rock/classic rock song from the 70s-80s, you gotta do the video, it’s part of the story. 😎🔥🤘

This is such a great great great song that I have heard sooooo many times I kind of take it for granted, but WOW it has to be one of the best rockers of all time

This song came out my senior year of high school. It’s in my top ten of all time. And you’re right. It’s muy caliente! 🤟🏼🔥

I bought this album in 76. Point Of No Return is another great album. Helps that I was born in Kansas too. Fun reaction

great song when it came on the radio in the car.....rock on, from LA

If you watched Supernatural, you heard it there.

That is one of two Kansas songs I can name right off the top of my head if someone asks (the other being Dust in the Wind, of course). And I had this album back in the day! It's not that all their other songs are shit, not by a long shot. It's just that those two songs are so good, and so widely played, that they tend to overshadow everything else they did.

FANTASTIC SONG!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏

I remember when Kansas came out with Left Overture. Stellar vibes.

Hope you-guys had a GREAT FOURTH!! LOVE this SONG!! HUGS!!

Easily one of the top 3 classic rock songs of all time. ALL TIME.

Hey! I haven't " been on" for a while with you 3....or in this case 2. Never the less, glad to see you again!!! This IS a great song! June - Maine

These guys were emaster musicians. This song was a big hit at the time, and for good reason. It was also featured in the soundtrack of the Henry Winkler/Sally Field/Harrison Ford movie "Heroes" that came out around the same time.

Awesome song! The message is long lasting and encouraging. And there is often heard a spiritual tone that, " The Most High," saying to, " carry on, dont give up, dont quit."

Had the privilege of meeting Kerry Livgren years ago. Spent a couple of days with him, at his home and studio. A real gentleman and a kind and humble soul. We traded old band stories and had a few. Kansas is definitely it my top 5 all time favourite bands. Cheers from Canada 👍🎸😍🇨🇦 And Happy 4th.🎉
