'B' ? You just have higher standards than Andy. 🤣 And don't fret TOO much over breaking hearts. This might be the time to go to Stevie Wonder. "I Wish" or "Higher Ground" Or Billy Preston. Or Bill Withers. Give A&A a kick in that direction.
Much harder to grade when you have heard too little to compare; there is a tendency to grade lower to save the A for something even better. The more you listen to classic rock, the more you will have context to place and grade any new song.
The R&R HOF is the OPPOSITE iof "musical genius." the great Eddie Trunk turned me on to how much they suck in 2008 or so when he pointed on his "That metal Show" out that they had inducted Madonna , but NOT Deep Purple. Nuff said.
I have a sister 4 years younger, and we are in our 50's now. I feel like I neglected her! I never once thought about helping to shape her musical education! Good for you Andy.
My sis is 2 years younger than me, I'm 60 so there wasn't too much of a gap musically. She did have a couple of Donna Summer albums. I say "did" because I swiped them one day to attend Disco Demolition Night at the old Comiskey Park in Chicago. Can't believe it's been 40+ years. I did replace them a couple of days later, so I guess "borrowed" is a better term.
😢 💔 I almost cried as i read this... i came from a BIG family (mom, dad, 7 siblings and me = 10 people), i was in 4th grade in 1978, i'm the 2nd to the baby of the family (5 females, 3 males) And it was ALWAYS My older siblings and a few older neighbors who "taught ME the ropes" And Introduced ME to MY #1 PASSION (Singing and loving Almost all Genres of whatever's out there from Jazz to Tex-Mex to Do-wop to Gospel to Mariachi to Disco to Soft Rock to Hard Rock to Heavy Metal to Classical to Opera to Country Music)! MY FAV. to Sing will ALWAYS BE Country Music, Tex-Mex, Soft Rock, Mariachi and Hard Rock, woohoo! 🎹 🎵 ❤ 🎻 🎶 🙌 I've lost BOTH parents Now to cancer, two older brothers (one died at barely 23, the other was 34) And way Too MANY friends (some were old neighbors, others were friends from either jr. high school Or high school). The pain of losing a Loved one (family Or friends) NEVER goes away, so when i Listen to KANSAS' "Dust In The Wind" (MY FAV. from them), All i can do Now is to Sing along with their Lyrics and cry a little bit to TRY to ease My pain even if it's just a wee bit. 😢 💔 MUSIC IS ALL i KNOW. MUSIC IS ALL i've Ever WANTED to Pursue (as a Singer and a Musician), i was Never good at the piano Or the guitar, i suck at both and the Circle of Fifths IS the damn HARDEST thing i've ever Tried to Learn, so i completely GAVE UP, i even gave away My cheap guitar away to a friend because my freaking hands are TOO small, i guess i SHOULD have bought myself a small female guitar, my friend is a male so he was Delighted when i gave him my BIG guitar for FREE! IT SUCKS NOT being good at the piano or the guitar so Now i have to TRY and pretend to be "Happy" at My crappy job because the bills Still have to be paid (LOL!), But i'd give Almost anything to be TRULY HAPPY dancing, Singing, playing the piano and writing MY own Songs. Anywaysss... TOO much "Drama" for Tonight, haha haha! 😂😂 😝😝 🎶 🎻 "...'cause Nothing lasts Forever but the Earth and Sky..." 💛
Yes, exactly! I was pulling for an A+ grade because I loved this song when it first came out, and I was in college, and if someone of similar age today could love it, then that would justify my whole existence. (jk) But you know what...? Upon quick reflection, it made sense to me that someone who regularly listens to a different kind of music was not going to instantly fall in love with this, to the tune of an A+. That would mean she would probably have to stop listening to what she listens to now (assuming it's not all A+ caliber). I think it's actually high praise to have someone with a different genre preference come in and rate this kind of music that highly.
Please everyone, give her some time - and a break. She has very little education when it comes to classic rock and roll. She is also not up on Alex and Andy's rating system. Remember they actually changed it to accommodate their own knowledge improvements after a time. He only gave he a choice of A-Z and an S tier. I think she thought she was giving a pretty good mark without know much about classic rock. What did she really have to base it on but a very limited knowledge she may have picked up from Andy. It is not like the rest of us that grew up listen to it day in and day out. I very much wish she will join Alex and Andy on a regular basis. It would be fun to see a new 'younger' person educate themselves, with our help of course (lol) on good music.
I’m British , but Kansas are my fav band ever . Seen them live in london.. their musical invention is incredible .. constantly evolving and experimenting .. amazing
A "B" score makes sense here. Your sister is coming in new with nothing to compare to. You have to leave room to go up or down when you start hearing more songs.
@DAVE ADAM On my computer I used to be able to rate songs on iTunes, from one to five stars. I would give a really good song four stars and reserve my five-star rating only for my very favorites. I don't remember what I gave "Wayward Son," four or five? Today I'd give it a five for sure.
I tried to understand, but that really doesn't make sense. A great song would still sound like a great song, regardless if she's heard others like it or not. If anything it should sound better. Not sure what you meant.
Whenever I see these reviews I think back to their live shows and realize how incredibly lucky I was to see them at their pinnacles ..... And the average ticket price was 5 to 7 dollars , unreal.
Found this old gem showing my little sister some proper rock n’ roll! Thought you’d all enjoy, go follow her on IG and bug her to come to the freedom shack to record some more reactions!! 🙌🏻🔥 instagram.com/aannggeelllaa?igshid=1czvl04yht70e
This would be a great full album for you & Alex to react to 🎤🎸🔥😉 Are you sure you guys aren’t twins?! ☺️ You should show her Deep Purple “Lazy” 💜💜 or Molly Hatchet “Flirtin’ With Disaster” 🔥🔥
My brother was a Vietnam veteran and when he heard this it resonated with him. It wasn't written for the veterans but it could have been. When I am with him and he hears this I can tell it does something for him. Thanks for playing it.
I still love the live album Two for the Show by Kansas, where they play a lot of the songs of their seventies records. Probably live they were even more impressive than on the studio albums. I think Andy and Alex would both enjoy the live versions.
More than anything i see a wonderful family dynamic. Kudos to you Andy for being a great big brother and hats off to your parents for bringing up two apparently happy, healthy, and well adjusted kids in today’s world. In the words of Mick Jagger, “...may the good Lord shine a light on you, and make every song you sing your favorite tune....”
Good reaction. You're being a good Brother, to introduce her to this elaborate Progressive Rock masterpiece. May I recommend Kansas', "Child Of Innocence". One of their best rockers! Thank you for the video.
Awww--- so nice to see you sharing another Kansas tune with your Sister. I knew that you knew she was going to love it! Excellent review to such a banger. Thanks for such a nice surprise today.❤😊
Not sure if anyone mentioned this, but this is the song that plays for every season finale in the WB’s, now CW’s “Supernatural” series. RIP the Winchester brothers. 🤟🏻
You two are adorable! And so obviously brother and sister-you practically look like twins. Anyway, yeah this song is a tour de force. A guitar solo BEFORE the first verse? Sure, why not? And then a solo right about the time you think the sing is wrapping up? Absolutely. But just for fun, let's throw in ONE MORE solo after that. Epic. And they truly do not make 'em like this anymore. This one is so far away from the formula, it would make a 21st century record producer crap his pants. Love it!
Wow) You have a beautiful sister ))) let's go with her reactions to Queen bro)) I haven't had a reaction to Queen in a long time. There are a lot of beautiful songs there
Loved this song for many years, it was groundbreaking when it came out and is still amazing today. Glad to see you “kids” still loving it today as I did when I was your age!
Dang the family resemblance is strong in these two, could easily pass as twins. As always, great song, great reaction and have lil sis visit more often :)
@@homebrew2070 I saw them in 1980 and they were fantastic! I remember listening to them on 8 track as well! I’ll hop into that passenger seat with you!
Did you ever notice? When they play this song on the show, during the line "lay your weary head to rest," someone gets decapitated. It's a running joke.
I loved the smile on her face as she heard this song, reminded me of the young ladys I knew when they first heard that song in 76 tho with a lot crappier speakers back then. This is rock and roll
Love it! I just want to say I really appreciate the way reactions work on this channel, you sit with a drink and headphones and just listen. Couldn’t get much better than that!
She is such a DOLL! When I see young women these days, they are either covered with loose baggy everything and stringy hair, looking like they're homeless or they are dressed like strippers. SOOOOO it is sooooooooooo nice to see and hear from a bright, beautiful, young woman with a personality and a brain. Your folks did a good job. ♥♥♥♥♥ (she needs to rock out more tho lol )
Dear god you put our generation to shame....People can dress how they like....If you never dressed like a stripper then how much of a rock chick are you?
Aw, she's beautiful. What a gorgeous family. Love your genuine smiles. Great reaction. Show her some female rockers like Heart (Magic Man, Crazy On You) or Pat Benatar (Heart Breaker) or maybe Boston (Smokin)
I remember vividly my (two and a half years) older brother sharing and listening to all this great music with me and watching for my reactions the first time I heard them. He played guitar and had a band and his drummer's kit was in our basement for awhile and he taught me basics like stroke, beats and rudiments and told me I could use them but if I damaged them he would stuff me in his bass drum and hit the foot pedal until my ears bled. Needless to say I was extremely careful. I would jam with my bro to these songs and as good as he was I was equally as bad but he never gave me anything but encouragement and he treated me exactly the same as if he were practicing with his band. I got better though and got my own kit and we had some great memories jamming in that old basement. He's been gone now eight years and not a day goes by I don't think about the great times we had and all the great talks we shared and watching you share this amazing music with your little sis is really cool man.
I bought this album the year it came out in 1975 or 1976... not a bad song on it! "Miracles Out Of Nowhere" & "Cheyenne Anthem" are two more masterpieces from this album. Well done guys and Thank You! 😃😃😃
About Steve Walsh's voice: Phil Ehart (drummer) said he knew if he could get Steve Walsh singing Kerry Livgren's (keyboard and guitar) songs, he knew the band would be special.
You might also like the Kansas song "Point of Know Return." There's a great 2015 documentary called "Miracles Out of Nowhere," about Kansas' journey from their early days in their home state through their record label breakthrough and hitting the big time.
The perfect introduction to Kansas. I really think sis was digging the vibe. Next: Supertramp -Goodbye Stranger. Cheers for sister and you for having a blast! 🥃
I would argue Logical Song or Take the Long Way Home over Goodbye Stranger as a girl depends on her sense of humor. Sacastic Logical Song if not TTLWH wins. Thinking of a song overall this one wasn't the A maybe different sounding band altogether The Doors, Elvis, Buddy Holly, Meatloaf "Hot Summer Night, Gordon Lightfoot Sundown...oh wait you guys haven't done 4/5 of those here, lol do that first. This was cool though keep doing it, her favorite style may not be yours but there is enough variety that it's still in the classics somewhere, I was never huge on Kansas can respect it, this song is good wouldn't have bern A fir me then either though to be fair. I mean no one I knew was listening to this era of music when I was in my teens/early 20s. I'm in my 30s now so based on your audience age statistics I'm hanging out in that wierd middle gap between you guys and the majority as I wasn't alive when my favorite music came out but I do know there is always so much to be found in the decades of music before you and majority of it is better no offense to music of last 20-25 years, well not a lot anyway, I just have never jived with what everyone else my age or even my older half sister 6 years and her friends listened to. I would be interested to see what your sisters area of older music is also there is a lot of in between you guys haven't gotten to.
She needs to hear some (or more) Rush! Start with your favorite, The Spirit of Radio, then Closer to the Heart, then 2112! You guys (Andy & Alex) need to do Headlong Flight.
They played live forever honing their sound, so I wouldn't doubt they played a carnival in Kansas. They practiced and worked very hard, and it showed in the intricacies in their songs.
Andy have you exposed your sister to the greatness of Van Halen? Bob Seger? Maybe Ram Jam's Black Betty? Deep Purple? Also your comment referencing the 70's music, IMO this was the best decade of music because there was such a melting pot of styles that were being explored and a lot of them were extremely popular on the charts. Commercially viable prog rock like Rush and Kansas, R&B and Soul like Earth Wind and Fire and Tower of Power, Midwest gritty rock like Bob Seger, jazz influenced rock like Chicago, Fleetwood Mac, Zeppelin, Sabbath, The Who. It was such an amazing decade for music and that's why it still holds up today. Always look forward to the videos! Keep up the great work!
The song is about a know it all rebellious young man/punk and how he doesn't know as much as he thinks and how his attitude is just holding him back or getting him into needless trouble. A timeless message.
You should introduce her - and yourself at the same time - to April Wine, and have Alex sit in as he NEEEEEEEEDDDDSSSS to hear them. She's a Roller Sign of the Gypsy Queen I Like to Rock If You See Kay (say that one out loud...) All Over Town Triple-guitar threat... and in a couple of the above they ALL solo. Killer drummer. One of the most underrated bassists. Impeccable harmonies.
This is one song you never get tired of - almost 45 years old, still sounds fresh. Fantastic, complicated tune, all musicians great, for some reason, the drums always seem to pop the most.....peace. ✌
So awesome when you can share songs with family. I've done it myself with both of my sisters. If you explore any more Kansas, you should definitely do "Song For America." It's an epic.
Loved your reaction, Angela!!! Your expressions were priceless!!! And you and your brother could never deny being siblings!!!! Goodness, you really do look like twins! It's hard to believe that there's 4 years between you!!! Hope to see you again! P.S. Did I miss a previous reaction with Angela???
This was a cool reaction, always great to see someone being introduced to the music i grew up with, and she looks like you with long hair, even your facial expressions are the same 😊
I suggest magnum opus next, or miracles out of nowhere, but then again, this whole album is perfect. Switching bands, yall should hit some more Styx sometime in the future
@@brianmyers6706 Yup, I heard that in a Tommy Shaw interview. In terms of vocalists, Steve Walsh has to be my #1 but Shaw isn't too far behind, also they're both great songwriters. Shaw's guitar playing is also severely underrated.
Looking back i should have given this song an A, i’m sorry to all the hearts i broke giving it a B 🤣❤️
Thanks for that! It's your choice to rate it any way you want, we will get over it!!
'B' ? You just have higher standards than Andy. 🤣 And don't fret TOO much over breaking hearts.
This might be the time to go to Stevie Wonder. "I Wish" or "Higher Ground" Or Billy Preston. Or Bill Withers. Give A&A a kick in that direction.
A&A don’t like Nightwish, there is no accounting for taste, so no need to apologise for the rating you give. Call it as you see it!
Leftoverture is a masterpiece. Easy A+
Much harder to grade when you have heard too little to compare; there is a tendency to grade lower to save the A for something even better. The more you listen to classic rock, the more you will have context to place and grade any new song.
This song is pure musical genius. Why are they not in the Hall Of Fame. How many bands that have ever played can play like this?
The R&R HOF is the OPPOSITE iof "musical genius." the great Eddie Trunk turned me on to how much they suck in 2008 or so when he pointed on his "That metal Show" out that they had inducted Madonna , but NOT Deep Purple. Nuff said.
Or Boston
Madonna over Deep Purple?! Their priorities are way out of line. Madonna is utter GARBAGE.
This song is a clarion call to Supernatural fans worldwide ❤️
I have a sister 4 years younger, and we are in our 50's now. I feel like I neglected her! I never once thought about helping to shape her musical education! Good for you Andy.

I'm sharing my sister's favorite music with my niece. I'm so lucky that I get to talk to her ❤❤❤❤
Your relationship with your sister is very sweet. Good on you Andy for showing her this timeless classic!
Andy: So how would you rate this song? Remember there's an S tier for songs that are the greatest of all time.
Angela: I'd give it a .... B?
Andy:
@Johnny Graz
LOL! Yup!! 😂😂
Yep....she said the song was really good but gave it a B. Harsh. LOL
@@andyandalex - Have your sister listen to "Dust in the Wind"...
Yes, exactly! I was pulling for an A+ grade because I loved this song when it first came out, and I was in college, and if someone of similar age today could love it, then that would justify my whole existence. (jk)
But you know what...? Upon quick reflection, it made sense to me that someone who regularly listens to a different kind of music was not going to instantly fall in love with this, to the tune of an A+. That would mean she would probably have to stop listening to what she listens to now (assuming it's not all A+ caliber).
I think it's actually high praise to have someone with a different genre preference come in and rate this kind of music that highly.
Please everyone, give her some time - and a break. She has very little education when it comes to classic rock and roll. She is also not up on Alex and Andy's rating system.

I’m British , but Kansas are my fav band ever . Seen them live in london.. their musical invention is incredible .. constantly evolving and experimenting .. amazing
Listen close. There song's about life on the plains of kansas. Kaza is a indain tribe from Kansas.
A "B" score makes sense here. Your sister is coming in new with nothing to compare to. You have to leave room to go up or down when you start hearing more songs.
A wise observation. Maybe tee-up some Supertramp next?
Dude I feel like maybe we are grading on a curve lol - it was an honest B but yeah there is rarely a C- or down there.
Exactly right! This is so funny!!!! The rest of us are sitting here thinking a B is supposed to mean they got 15% of the song WRONG.
@DAVE ADAM On my computer I used to be able to rate songs on iTunes, from one to five stars. I would give a really good song four stars and reserve my five-star rating only for my very favorites. I don't remember what I gave "Wayward Son," four or five? Today I'd give it a five for sure.

My thoughts too! In 1976 I paid $8 for tickets to a WINGS concert!
I saw them New Year's Eve '77-'78 in Long Beach CA, amazing show under ten dollars a ticket.
Ahh yes! I remember the days.😁👍
This song is a masterpiece. Saw them in Detroit around 1977. Fantastic concert live. A+

Having heard this song a thousand times. I w as more impressed seeing her beautiful smile.
Came for the song...stayed for sis...She just lights up the room with that smile...
YAY!!! Kansas, great song. Lots of transitions, great vocals. Great musicians.
You need to give more Boston a try: A Man I'll Never Be -- a big hit, easily good enough to be on their 1st album you guys loved so much.
Dang the family resemblance is strong in these two, could easily pass as twins.
As always, great song, great reaction and have lil sis visit more often :)
"Song for America" is a must hear from Kansas.
and Magnum Opus, and Down the Road
Such a classic masterpiece!
This reaction should go viral, great song, classic band and great reactions and the brother/sister look alike thing is charming too
Point of Know Return is a must album from Kansas
My favorite Kansas album!!!!!
The name of the album is Leftoverture. "What's On My Mind" is another strong song.
So cool seeing you two listen to Kansas!! Such a killer band, great job Andy, keep showing your sister the gems!
I feel so conflicted at your sisters cuteness vs how much you two look alike lol
Your sister is so adorable. You need to include her more. You two look so much alike. This is an amazing and timeless song

Hit: "POINT OF 'KNOW' RETURN", another top Kansas classic-!!
I loved the smile on her face as she heard this song, reminded me of the young ladys I knew when they first heard that song in 76 tho with a lot crappier speakers back then. This is rock and roll
Love it! I just want to say I really appreciate the way reactions work on this channel, you sit with a drink and headphones and just listen. Couldn’t get much better than that!
@Reptilewolf
Damn straight!
You definitely need to add “Point of Know Return” by Kansas to your list. Total banger!
don't call classic rock songs bangers you gen z you disgusting urban modern fuck call THEM gems or just great songs
airbrush the album on old friends motorcycle top. He loved kansas and introduced me to them back in the late 70s
"I'd Love to Change the World" by Ten Years After.... you won't regret it.
She is such a DOLL! When I see young women these days, they are either covered with loose baggy everything and stringy hair, looking like they're homeless or they are dressed like strippers. SOOOOO it is sooooooooooo nice to see and hear from a bright, beautiful, young woman with a personality and a brain. Your folks did a good job. ♥♥♥♥♥ (she needs to rock out more tho lol )
Dear god you put our generation to shame....People can dress how they like....If you never dressed like a stripper then how much of a rock chick are you?
@Tarnell Id be proud to be a stripper...Unfortunately I cant walk...so I cant.
@Tarnell yeah...but Im not a stripper. You could say "would-be stripper"...That would be the truth.
Aw, she's beautiful. What a gorgeous family. Love your genuine smiles. Great reaction. Show her some female rockers like Heart (Magic Man, Crazy On You) or Pat Benatar (Heart Breaker) or maybe Boston (Smokin)
You need to listen to this entire album. The musicianship is stellar!
Love her expression when the rock organ solo kicks in.
I remember vividly my (two and a half years) older brother sharing and listening to all this great music with me and watching for my reactions the first time I heard them. He played guitar and had a band and his drummer's kit was in our basement for awhile and he taught me basics like stroke, beats and rudiments and told me I could use them but if I damaged them he would stuff me in his bass drum and hit the foot pedal until my ears bled. Needless to say I was extremely careful. I would jam with my bro to these songs and as good as he was I was equally as bad but he never gave me anything but encouragement and he treated me exactly the same as if he were practicing with his band. I got better though and got my own kit and we had some great memories jamming in that old basement. He's been gone now eight years and not a day goes by I don't think about the great times we had and all the great talks we shared and watching you share this amazing music with your little sis is really cool man.
@Mike K
That’s so great he had you raised with the right idea! Jamming out to good music. Cheers Mike glad you enjoyed the video! 🔥
@@andyandalex You too Andy and keep up the great work with your bud Alex and everyone in the crew; love the vids and the analysis. Rock on!
I bought this album the year it came out in 1975 or 1976... not a bad song on it! "Miracles Out Of Nowhere" & "Cheyenne Anthem" are two more masterpieces from this album. Well done guys and Thank You! 😃😃😃
Boy, I STILL love this song.
How many times have I heard it? A thousand.
"Tossed about I'm like a ship on the ocean"
About Steve Walsh's voice: Phil Ehart (drummer) said he knew if he could get Steve Walsh singing Kerry Livgren's (keyboard and guitar) songs, he knew the band would be special.
You might also like the Kansas song "Point of Know Return." There's a great 2015 documentary called "Miracles Out of Nowhere," about Kansas' journey from their early days in their home state through their record label breakthrough and hitting the big time.
Or: Heart - "Straight On". Classic!!!
Man this is a good one from Heart 💕 yes she won't be labeling this one with any lame "B" rating id wager!! Play the one with lyrics
Heart put a couple of them out one was" little queen "and the other one was called "kick it out "really great jams
She's just so stinkin' adorable. Bring her back more often, Andy. Great video, even if she should have given this A+/S ranking. :)
The perfect introduction to Kansas. I really think sis was digging the vibe.
Next: Supertramp -Goodbye Stranger.
Cheers for sister and you for having a blast! 🥃
I would argue Logical Song or Take the Long Way Home over Goodbye Stranger as a girl depends on her sense of humor. Sacastic Logical Song if not TTLWH wins. Thinking of a song overall this one wasn't the A maybe different sounding band altogether The Doors, Elvis, Buddy Holly, Meatloaf "Hot Summer Night, Gordon Lightfoot Sundown...oh wait you guys haven't done 4/5 of those here, lol do that first. This was cool though keep doing it, her favorite style may not be yours but there is enough variety that it's still in the classics somewhere, I was never huge on Kansas can respect it, this song is good wouldn't have bern A fir me then either though to be fair. I mean no one I knew was listening to this era of music when I was in my teens/early 20s. I'm in my 30s now so based on your audience age statistics I'm hanging out in that wierd middle gap between you guys and the majority as I wasn't alive when my favorite music came out but I do know there is always so much to be found in the decades of music before you and majority of it is better no offense to music of last 20-25 years, well not a lot anyway, I just have never jived with what everyone else my age or even my older half sister 6 years and her friends listened to. I would be interested to see what your sisters area of older music is also there is a lot of in between you guys haven't gotten to.
Alex and Andy did Goodbye Stranger already.
This song is as A as a song can get. Lyrics, guitar, drums, harmonies... 🔥
Andy on The Police song all you gotta do is watch the MTV video. It's funny and it explains the song to you in 2 minutes!
She needs to hear some (or more) Rush! Start with your favorite, The Spirit of Radio, then Closer to the Heart, then 2112! You guys (Andy & Alex) need to do Headlong Flight.
They played live forever honing their sound, so I wouldn't doubt they played a carnival in Kansas. They practiced and worked very hard, and it showed in the intricacies in their songs.
When the violin comes in you can see here eyes go what is that instrument. Great reaction, share more rock with her.
Andy have you exposed your sister to the greatness of Van Halen? Bob Seger? Maybe Ram Jam's Black Betty? Deep Purple? Also your comment referencing the 70's music, IMO this was the best decade of music because there was such a melting pot of styles that were being explored and a lot of them were extremely popular on the charts. Commercially viable prog rock like Rush and Kansas, R&B and Soul like Earth Wind and Fire and Tower of Power, Midwest gritty rock like Bob Seger, jazz influenced rock like Chicago, Fleetwood Mac, Zeppelin, Sabbath, The Who. It was such an amazing decade for music and that's why it still holds up today. Always look forward to the videos! Keep up the great work!
These are all excellent suggestions. I would add only Rush, but she may not be able to handle it. That's big girl music.
I have to agree.... although I was a teenager in the 80’s, the 70’s was the best decade for music, at least in my lifetime! 🤩
Show her some ELO - Living Thing or Supertramp - Goodbye Stranger
An excellent referal, Rene ;D
Show her Boston, Journey, Heart
Yes indeed you can tell she's your family, same eye movement and everything.
I was homeless when this song hit the airwaves. It kept me going.
The song is about a know it all rebellious young man/punk and how he doesn't know as much as he thinks and how his attitude is just holding him back or getting him into needless trouble. A timeless message.
Sister.
Heart.
Sisters.
Kansas has a lot of great music! Point Of Know Return, Portrait (He Knew), Sparks Of The Tempest... and many more!
You should introduce her - and yourself at the same time - to April Wine, and have Alex sit in as he NEEEEEEEEDDDDSSSS to hear them.
She's a Roller
Sign of the Gypsy Queen
I Like to Rock
If You See Kay (say that one out loud...)
All Over Town
Triple-guitar threat... and in a couple of the above they ALL solo.
Killer drummer.
One of the most underrated bassists.
Impeccable harmonies.
Keep your sis's education going ! Your smiles are so alike, family resemblance is evident, cool.
Point of Know Return, definitely. Really good.
Drummers dream song, love playing it! So cool to see someone’s first reaction to this!!!
Incredible song, incredible voice. Consider reacting to Jeff Buckley, another great voice in music history. Start with the song “Grace”.
The guitar work on this tune is sublime.
You should react to "Point of no return" also.
One nit picked: it's "Point of KNOW Return". I'd like to think there's some metaphysical reasoning behind that choice of word.
@@mph7282 just show her rap hip hop music or taylor swift. thats probably all she likes . who gives carry on wayward son a B?
@@stocksgoupward5922 Don't be too tough on her. Everybody gotta start somewhere.
@Kevin Grady. I totally agree
@@mph7282 My mistake.
This is awesome I'm glad she's getting involved. Love the music!!
@Derek's Journey
Hey thanks man! 😁
Y'all need to deep dive a bit on Kansas....like "Magnum Opus" on this same album. You and Alex will dig the proginess. Trust me.
I second that. Or "The Pinnacle" for some serious prog as well.
The whole friggin' album is great!
Correct Bloodewing - Magnum Opus is the quintessential Kansas/prog banger. Unbelievable musicianship.
@@gougef Agreed. Not a bad cut to be found.
This is one song you never get tired of - almost 45 years old, still sounds fresh. Fantastic, complicated tune, all musicians great, for some reason, the drums always seem to pop the most.....peace. ✌
So awesome when you can share songs with family. I've done it myself with both of my sisters.
If you explore any more Kansas, you should definitely do "Song For America." It's an epic.
Loved your reaction, Angela!!! Your expressions were priceless!!!
And you and your brother could never deny being siblings!!!! Goodness, you really do look like twins! It's hard to believe that there's 4 years between you!!!
Hope to see you again!
P.S. Did I miss a previous reaction with Angela???
Excellent song choice to share with your sister. And you two look like twins, especially when you two smile at the same time. 💖💖
She needs to hear Journey.
This was a cool reaction, always great to see someone being introduced to the music i grew up with, and she looks like you with long hair, even your facial expressions are the same 😊
I suggest magnum opus next, or miracles out of nowhere, but then again, this whole album is perfect. Switching bands, yall should hit some more Styx sometime in the future
Man in the Wilderness. A Styx song inspired by Kansas!
@@brianmyers6706 Yup, I heard that in a Tommy Shaw interview. In terms of vocalists, Steve Walsh has to be my #1 but Shaw isn't too far behind, also they're both great songwriters. Shaw's guitar playing is also severely underrated.
best thing ever... brother and sister that dig each other... carry on. they have the same smiles...
Mannfred Mann's Earth Band - Blinded by the Light.
And “For You” by them!
The Boss never had a hit single, unless you count the fact he wrote Blinded by the Light... 🤣
Bruce Springsteen original version is better
