If there ever was band that i started listening with the "wrong" album it's Kansas; the two albums with Steve Morse were the ones I listened first and a couple of years later Audiovisions (still not the 70s ). But that was way before the internet days. I took those two albums for what they had to offer (I knew nothing about who Kansas was ) and I enjoyed them immensely. I would not rate them the same because I find In the Spirit of Things more interesting and with better song-writing than Power.

It's not a bad thing though to start somewhere else than the classics, it can make one appriciate the "odd" albums more. Those days before the internet exploded was so much more intresting (not necessarily better though).. you bought what you found and you didn't really know what albums were considered great or trash, you kind of had to make your own opinion of everything

Another band that I started listening with two albums that didn't score any hits (as i imagine the label asked of them) was Night Ranger - "Big Life" (1987) and "Man In Motion" (1988), both fine albums IMO, especially Man In Motion, great melodic hard rock if you ask me. It was many years later that I listened to their very successful albums.

Not that familiar with Night Ranger but now i'm pretty sure there will be a ranked list made of them this year Always on the look out for more melodic hard rock

Their 80s work is fun, beyond that, not so much for me, although there are 2 albums from the 90s that I like.
