CHICAGO "the ultimate chicago" cd,2010.
didnt realise these guys have been around since 1967....thought they were a mid 70s/80s band???...see, you learn something everyday on MD(or as part of MD)
eighteen tracks on this best of set....i just find them to be too 'slick and sickly sweet' for my taste, so very little on here that i can say that i love for that reason!
sure, i like most of the tracks, but i can take or leave these guys, aint gonna lose sleep if i never hear this one again or not!
also, found out that in terms of US chart success(for an American band) that these guys come in second to The Beach Boys on the US Billboard charts.
all-up though, not a bad album, but certainly not as good as i'd expect a career spanning 'hits' album to rate by any artist!
