212) Chicago-17 1984

Av Mikael Persson - 17 december 2013 17:23

 


Suddenly it happened to Chicago, they reached the toplists all over the world. From this album 4 singles were released and all reached top 20 on the Billboard and the album reached nr. 4 and nr. 1 in Sweden! I remember that the songs were played a LOT on radio. Even if the band had hits before, they were more of a jazz/fusion/progressive rockband than a popband. This album is a pure popalbum though, but with a lot of horns and a little jazzinspired, and the last to feature superb singer Peter Cetera. He created his own successful popcareer after Chicago. Today these 1980's popsongs might seem dated but I really really like them still. The incredible sense for melody and poppy power is significiant on the whole album and is one of the best popalbums of the 80's, that's for sure. Except for the 8-man strong band, there are many well known artists playing on the album, like Michael Landau, Jeff Porcaro from Toto and Richard Marx.

    Album number two from this incredible supergroup that made some unforgettable music in the 1980's! This is again melodic hardrock with a lot of keyboards and with impressing melodic, orchestral and powerful songs with fantastic vocals. A mus...
