	Once (when I was younger) there were a lot bands I didn't like, just because the public opinion or grown ups or whatever said they sucked. Bands include: Journey, Toto, Foreigner, Europe but also Chicago, but also genres like arenarock, hiphop, r&b, drum&bass, electro, techno, synthpop, new wave, disco, jazzfunk, etc. etc. But they are all amazing. I love all kinds of music, whether it is pure jazzrock or thrashmetal or funky 70's disco. I wish I never listened to anyone when discovering music. So finally I dove into Chicago, and they are simply amazing. Their early stuff is heavy, heavy, jazzrockfusion. No band can even come near them. Then they became the biggest poprock band on earth, selling millions and millions of singles and albums. The songs they wrote were high standard, but also the vocals. The vocals of the band are amazing. High standard like Beegees, Beatles, Queen, Toto and Abba. I really love bands with colourful sound and more vocalists and songwriters. Bands that can play circles around other well known bands, but also have the knack to write powerful and catchy popsongs. Yes, Chicago is one my new favorite bands right now. And there's so much to discover from this amazing group of talented musicians. Favorite song right now: Stay the Night.
