Are they sacred cows? I just assumed they were run of the mill AOR.

I blame Wynton, what was the question?

Not going to sift through to see if it’s been mentioned already but...Zarathustra by Museo Rosenbach.
Confirmed Bachelors: the dramedy hit of 1883...
If you mean the Floyd album, that's more of a "mainstream" music sacred cow than it is a (ahem) "prog" sacred cow. Serious progressive rock fans know that The Wall isn't even the best Floyd album, never mind being the best album ever by anyone (as I used the poseurs who posted on the old AOL Floyd board describe the album).
Kansas is a funny beast...on the one hand you have the songs you mentioned and others like Icarus, The Pinnacle, Magnum Opus, etc that are great prog...then you have the horrid attempts at radio play like It Takes a Woman's Love to Make a Man, etc. Either way, I don't consider Kansas to be "prog enough" to qualify as a sacred cow
