Which song is the best-known track from the album Leftoverture?

• A. Dust in the Wind
• B. Carry on Wayward Son
• C. Point of Know Return
• D. Magnum Opus

Answer: (B)

This item asks you to identify the track most closely associated with Kansas’s Leftoverture. Carry On Wayward Son is the breakout single from that album, released in 1976, and it became a staple of classic-rock radio. Its memorable guitar hooks, soaring chorus, and the way it showcases a blend of accessible melody with progressive-rock musicianship helped define Leftoverture and propelled the album to major success. That wide, lasting recognition—plus its frequent presence on compilations and in live sets—makes it the track most people think of when Leftoverture is mentioned.

Dust in the Wind is a famous Kansas song, but it’s tied to a different release and era, not the Leftoverture era. The other options don’t carry the same immediate association with this particular album.
