1)Sweet Home Chicago
2)The Night Chicago Died-Paper Lace
3)When The Levee Breaks-Led Zeppelin "If you don't know about Chicago"
4)Via Chicago-Wilco
5)Chicago Seemed Tired Last Night- The Hold Steady
6)Bad Bad Leroy Brown-"On the south side of Chicago"
7)Jesus Just Left Chicago- ZZ Top
8)(Please Come to)Chicago-Crosby/Nash
9)If You Leave Me Now- Chicago
10) Anything by the Smashing Pumpkins....and not Cheap Trick...they were from Rockford,IL.

What do you have to add? And if you're in the windy city tonight....come and see us at the Double Door with Electric Six!

  4. If you're going to pick a song BY Chicago-- pick one BY Chicago that's actually ABOUT Chicago-- Take Me Back to Chicago off of their 11th album. The final Chicago album produced by James William Guercio and featuring the late Terry Kath on guitar/vocals.

    They've not been the same since. :-(
