Chicago

Chicago has seen many stylistic shifts over the course of their zillion-year career. Only the Beginning does a comprehensive job collecting their most recognized material spanning those four (and counting) decades. Maybe you're a fan of the horny jazz rock hybrid they came up with in the '60s, or the lite rock balladry of the '70s ("If You Leave Me Now" rules) or Peter Cetera's domination of clammy-palmed high school slow dances in the '80s. Anyway, it's all here.
