Best Chicago Songs

Their signature encore song when Cetera was with the band.

Oh yeah, possibly one of the best-ever rock songs. And it hasn't aged at all. Still top-shelf quality.

Hearing Terry Kath's blistering guitar work on this makes me understand completely why Jimi Hendrix claimed that Terry was better then him.

Hardest core Chicago ever. has that Babe I'm Gonna Leave You riff. No question closest they came to cool.

Great concert opening song.

No question this should be toward the top of any Chicago's fan list. Kath's acoustic work here is so uplifting. You can really feel the emotion Robert Lamm pours into his lyrics and vocals. The line "When i kiss you, I feel a thousand different feelings" gets me every time. Songs finishes with nice horn jam with a latin beat coming in at the end.

hella good breh

All elements of the band in its infancy are in full force on this 1970 masterpiece.

Cetera could rock with the best when he wanted to, which wasn't often enough.

1973 prom favorite.

IMO, one of the few 80's Chicago songs I can enjoy listening to. Why? The ballad is worth listening to for the great return-to-form jazz section at the end. Makes me want to dance every time!

Makes you feel something from inside.

Again, cute song, but so soft that it could be called 'flaccid'.

one of the most amazing songs ever

Great summer sound. Chicago and the Beach Boys should have done a whole studio album together.

I loved this band, but I hated this song. Typical David Foster pablum.

Catchy tune. Cetera hated the "Howdy Doody" lyric.

1970 prom favorite.

The only song from the original lineup era that wasn't penned by a member of the group. It's a Stevie Winwood song.

Cetera's vocal really soars on this early song, that was the band's first single release.

Underrated song, should have been a no. 1 hit.

Cetera is irreplaceable. David Foster was not really happy with Jason Scheff's voice.

Jason Scheff doing his best impersonation of Peter Cetera.

One of my personal favorites. Beautiful orchestration augmenting Cetera's mellifluous vocal.

Without a doubt one of the best Chicago songs you can really rock out there. Though no popular opinion, I think this one is up there with 25 or 6 to 4.

Outstanding rock tune from the CTA album that went virtually unnoticed.

A very embarrassing song for the kind of band like Chicago.

A very underrated song.

Another song that has kept the band from hall of fame induction.

Lee Loughnane, who write "Call On Me", wrote this little gem.

Featuring Donnie Dacus on guitar. Damn that Terry Kath and his 9 mm.

Not there last big single considering this was from Chicago 18 and Chicago 19 had about 5 singles one of which being "Look Away" which was song of the year 1989.

This song is amazing!!!! The instruments and vocal harmonies make this song among the best even by Chicago's standards. [and that is a very high bar!] Not a big stretch, in my view, to call this one of most unappreciated songs ever!

This song was already listed as No. 18.

The Carnegie Hall live version is awesome!

It is not commercial but certainly an excellent piece

It should have been released as a single.

This song cost the band a big part of its Japanese fan base, which had been huge. What was Lamm thinking?

Nice not played on radio anymore and not as popular as the 25 to 4 or 6. Almost like no one heard about When Love and Hate collide by Def Lep.
