How well do you know the multi-platinum band KANSAS?
They've been rocking for fifty years — can you Carry On, or will your score be Dust in the Wind?

1973 was a big year for pop culture. American Graffiti with Ron Howard was a hit in theaters. The novel The Princess Bride by William Goldman hit shelves, teaching us all that "as you wish" meant "I love you". President Nixon gave his famous "I am not a crook" speech. And a new band from Kansas emerged.
The band — fitting called KANSAS — would go on to be such a massive influence in the music industry that today, fifty years later, we're still humming along to their songs.... or belting them at kareoke.

Nine out of twelve--pretty good for only having heard Dust In The Wind and Carry On Wayward Son. 🎵I closed my eyes only for a moment and the moment's gone...🎶
8/12.. don't see what it has to do with classic tv, but the music lover in me made me take this quiz...
I got to stop taking drano - wasnt this quiz just posted a few days ago?
5/12
Not a big fan of Kansas. Can you tell?
I'm referring to the band, As for the State I am indifferent(no offense to any Kansasians here)).

I wonder if we can get S. E. Hinton (the author of "The Outsiders" and "Rumble Fish") to take this quiz? After all, she's the biggest "Supernatural" fan out there.
