cookieman15061 Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 1969 to1976 with the vastly underrated Terry Kath on guitar and Danny Seraphine on drums and love those freakin horns. Any band that can put a trombone solo in a song and make it sound cool is alright by me.
Cruznolfart Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 One of my favorite groups for a long time, beginning with right after I got outta the service in '70. I still think their first iteration was their most talented and Cetera the best pipes they ever had.
chewy60 Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 i don't consider early chicago a guilty pleasure cuz i'm not afraid to admit liking it. it's the early 80s power ballad chicago with peter cetera that i would consider more of a guilty pleasure....
cookieman15061 Posted June 5, 2009 Author Posted June 5, 2009 Well I guess Its a bad choice of words but I rarely hear them mentioned much and most people just remember the 80's version with layered synths and Cetera penned hits but their early 70's output had some pretty amazing stuff and 3 great vocalist with Robert Lamm, Terry Kath and Peter Cetera.

Any band that can put a trombone solo in a song and make it sound cool is alright by me. Didn't mean to hijack your thread. I love Chicago and have a couple of the band's albums. They certainly warrant listening to. That's why I liked Fishbone in their heyday they were a pretty hip band. Fish Bone Fight The Youth This was cool too.
KSG_Standard Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 Terry Kath was one of my favorite guitar pickers! He was amazing. Chicago Transit Authority is a desert island album for me.
Notes_Norton Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 Terry Kath was IMHO a great but under-appreciated guitarist. First few albums were and still are capable of invoking chills and they are on my iPod. ("Ballet for a Girl in Buchanan" is there in it's entirety, not split up by song - as is the "Abbey Road Medley" by the Beatles and others) Rock and Roll doesn't get much better than that, but after Terry died, I lost interest in their music due to the direction they took. Notes
cookieman15061 Posted June 7, 2009 Author Posted June 7, 2009 Yeah Notes same here. I loved Kaths singing and playing. He was the soul of that band and BfaGiB in its entirety is an amazing piece
