Waiting for the time when I can finally say
That this has all been wonderful, but now I'm on my way

Winner.

If this counts.





If not, then I'll go with New Duncan Imperials

I love the vocals, and the solo.

Richard Marx, Styx, and REO Speedwagon have various degrees of artistic merit, but I think some of you are taking the piss out of the original intent of this thread.

Both of these guys could also be in my "Should be bigger" thread.

Ike Reilly is a brilliant songwriter from Libertyville. If you've never heard his record Salesmen and Racists I suggest you get a copy as soon as possible. I'd stack up the first five tracks on that record with any album side there is, and I mean stuff like Zeppelin I and Sticky Fingers. He's also a great live performer:

Bobby Conn, well I'm not sure what Bobby Conn is, but you should see him live before you die. You're never gonna get ahead givin' head to The Man.

I was being tongue-in-cheek. You of all people, spanky.

Great call on Ike Reilly, JORR. That is a guy I completely forgot. Great songs and an even better show.

Actually, it was more of an affectionate thing.
He kept saying "Say RAWR........Say RAWR", when I finally did, he nodded and we bumped heads.
Head butt may have been an overstatement.
Dude was crazy, but nice.

No Urge Overkill mention yet? No Lupe? No Jarrett Payton? Yeah he put out an album. He gave it to me at Lollapalozza. It was awesome (sorry JP it never made it home)

UO has gotten a lot of love on this board.

Can Chicago claim the Revolting Cocks? Beers, Steers, and Queers is a fun album. All-time great band name, too.

_________________

Unless you're Doug with SP or maybe RPB with Kanye, seriously furthering the notion that Chicago can lay claim to many top tier artists in Rock (classic, hard, alternative, whatever) or Hip Hop is disingenuous homerism. What Chicago has produced is some of the best Soul (I hesitate to include this contribution under the whole R&B umbrella,) House, and Industrial Music. Some Blues, I guess, but Blues is so subgenred out that this feels less than empirical, too. It's like saying we produce the best hot dog incorporating relish and celery salt.
