Chicago was one of my all time favorite bands through <b>VII</b> in 1974. They still are. I can't get enough of those early records but after that they only had sporadic good to great moments, especially after Terry died.<br /><br />After that much of their work was hideous. <b>XI</b> was a fine album as was <b>Hot Streets</b> but after that they really may have played themselves out of the Hall.<br /><br />I know bands such as the Beach Boys sunk to all time lows late in their career too but they were also cultural icons, something Chicago never was so their transgressions are more easily forgiven and, of course, they are Hall worthy.<br /><br />As much as I love the original septet I'm not sure they belong because of what they became and still are.<br /><br />By the way, if you think "Look Away" is awful try "you Come to My Senses" from <b>21</b>. It's even worse.

I'm honored.<br /><br />I profess not to care about halls of fame, rock or otherwise, so I honestly don't have a strong feeling on whether Chicago belongs in the RnRHoF.<br /><br />But, for what it's worth, I am not sure they played their way out. I think the folks who run the place wouldn't have let them in based on the perceived unhipness of their '70s work, even if they'd split up when Terry Kath died.<br /><br />Walt Parazaider will have to content himself with enough gold and platinum records to tile Wrigley Field.Kurt Blumenauhttp://neckpickup.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
