I've been thinking for a while about suggesting them for PA. But looks like somebody did the job for me. Great news!

Great news! They certainly deserve to be here and I'm a great fan of all albums they made with Terry Kath. I was pretty disappointed with the two albums following his death and haven't listened to them since, but their early period (which lasted many many years) definitely qualifies them in my view.

Uhhh... Are Chicago a X Prog band (x is the sub genre)?

^ The more users participate, the more accurate the chart will be.  Unfortunately I don't know the band, but if you do ... in all honesty, I think that submitting some information would be more helpful than complaining about that chart.

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

^ Really? I don't even know the band, the chart is based on the tag assignments at PF. You're welcome to add your own point of view.

For which genre Micky? Easy Money thinks they may have already been approved for JR/F.

As already said Chicago is a Related Prog band. Listening to their Prog material (in some collection) and their more recent material (I have '17') I did not find many differences, if not in the arrangement. For '17' the arrangements are so light that music has become AOR.
Certainly I think that PR is a good category for Chicago, also if their Prog material is sure JR (or better Fusion).

Agree - and if they have been approved, we should look into getting their addition in place, and if not, contact the JR/F team regarding their addition, barring that prog-related.

If those albums are really prog, the band must be added. People must learn to stop whining every time a controversial addition is made. There are so many nearly unknown bands on our database for people to explore, and ignore instead what they don't like.

Chicago's first eight albums, IMO, are full blown prog, and X andl XI prog-related. Considering that Chicago has more or less 20 studio albums, half of them are prog or prog-related, which is not bad for a prog band. But I don't see them getting added because people believe most of their output is pop-rock and they would be quite controvertial

CTA should definitely be included if they are added (IMO). It was made by the same band, who simply abreviated their name.

Oh, good, they absolutely deserve to be added. It always makes me laugh when people try to deny a band addition to the archives because their later albums weren't progressive. Because, if history has much to say about it, one could say that the definition of a classic prog band is that they did go mainstream and non-prog by the 80s...

Are Chicago prog related or fusion etc?
