DEFINITIVE CHICAGO ALBUMS POLL

My God, this is the best poll/thread in recent memory.

No Terry Kath no cred

I. VI
II. III
III. I
IV. V
V. VII
VI. II
VII. VIII
VIII. IV
IX. X

Or do I have that backwards?

What if there's a tie for 1st?

if there is a tie for first, we'll just have a runoff poll.

I vote for Les Stances A Sophie.

I can't remember: Which is the one that had that big "CHICAGO" emblazoned on the cover? I used to own that one. That wasn't bad. (Worth the $1 I paid for it, anyways.) I vote for that one.

Was it this, MVB?

Have you ever noticed that if you put all the album titles together, it spells 'Chicagochicagochicagochicagochicagochicagochicagochicagochicagochicagochicagochicagochicagochicagochicagochicagochicagochicagochicagochicagochicagochicagochicagochicagochicagochicagochicagochicagochicagochicago'?

I wonder what it all means?

Hmm...don't recall ever seeing that cover before. But I remember the one I owned as having a pretty forgettable cover; so, that may be it.

I bet Chicago will get the lurker vote.

I voted for Chicago...flame away, bitches!

This would've been a funnier joke with an artist whose albums weren't all very clearly numbered.

Shouldn't this be on ITR?

regardless of your opinion of CHICAGO the video for "Stay The Night" is fantastic

My copy of Chicago II just says Chicago on the spine. xpost

first album is called "Chicago Transit Authority," and it's pretty frickin' good, no joke. "Chicago II" also worth the time, even if the lyrics start to get a little meh. EVERY OTHER CHICAGO ALBUM IS TOTALLY INDEFENSIBLE.

Sorry, that was a real answer, i'll get my coat. :(

GO BACK TO CHICAGO

Sorry, that was a real answer,

It was also the CORRECT answer!

(I'm in love with this thread, btw)

This is actually rong. For the first album, they were called Chicago Transit Authory. Which was the name of that album (still their best btw)

don't agree with me plz, no one will ever check out the album.

It was a toss-up between "Chicago" and "Chicago", with "Chicago" getting the edge because of that one song.

The Kansas and Chicago Show in Boston tonight has been cancelled.
The Chicago and Boston Show in Kansas tonight has been cancelled.
The Boston and Kansas Show In Chicago tonight has been cancelled.

or something like that.

Sorry, that was a real answer, i'll get my coat. :(

Favorite piece of Chicago trivia: They started doing their double albums -- triple if you count the live one -- and multiple-movement suites as a James William Guercio-masterminded plot to get additional songwriting royalties for the band from Columbia. Once record companies decided to only pay ten royalties per record, they immediately went to ten tracks on the next album (Chicago V) and only did one more double album ever.

No Electra Glide In Blue, no credibility.

I hope Spike Jonze has seen that "Stay The Night" video.

I thought this was the poll of lyrics to Roy Ayers' "Chicago."

Can I change my vote, mods?

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

"Chicago">>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>CHICAGO>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><i>Chicago</i>

TOMORROW ISN'T MARCH 1.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

I won!

fuck, robbed

I can't believe Chicago placed lower than Chicago, Chicago, Chicago, and fucking Chicago!! What's wrong with you people?!

Damned lurker voters.

haha, this poll is hilarious

Wonder what happened to the missing chicago # lp's

WHERE IS HOT STREETS

LMAO this was hilarious.

Also, I hate this band. There's maybe an LP's worth of stuff I can stand and even then only a couple of songs that I'd ever want to put on myself (like "25 or 6 to 4" even though there's an elephantine quality to the horn charts and melody that keep me from completely enjoying it).
