Chicago The Band Music Community
The Official Chicago Fan Network
Who does Chicago sit alongside for you?
One of the things I love about this site is that you come into contact with a vast range of people from from across the world. With regular contributions, mostly from friends in the US, you become aware of some of the other bands that people also enjoy. Sometimes on the site I read rumours about the band touring with bands like Toto and BS&T. Nothing wrong with them, but they wouldn't be amongst my own personal favourites. It got me thinking about music taste, which is vastly personal and undoubtedly subjective. Chicago is my first and foremost band, they informed my musical education and outlook so that now I enjoy a range of bands past and present.
As an excercise to check out the range of tastes Chicago sits alongside in our collections and for a bit of fun, will respondents list 10 other acts of their choice in no particular order (put their country of origin) along with a guilty musical pleasure, you know a band or genre of music it's not cool to enjoy, but best done in secret! Have fun sharing and I'm sure we will see a myriad of musical tastes. Mine:
1) The Beatles (UK)
2) Oasis (UK)
3) Talk Talk (UK)
4) Big Country (UK)
5) REM (US)
6) David Bowie (UK)
7) Iggy Pop (US)
8) U2 (Ireland)
9) Coldplay (UK)
10) Kraftwerk (Germany)
My guilty pleasure: James Blunt !!!!!!!!

The Bassist your husband talks about Alison is Mark King who is indeed one of the best in the business.
Another aspect of this discussion is how many bands are linked together in some shape, form or tenuous way a bit like the 'Six degrees of seperation' theory that everybody is linked to everybody else in the world within 6 people. There's a website bandtoband.com that does this and it's good fun to see how very different bands, say the Sex Pistols would link with Chicago however tenuous - they do it in 5 steps! Level 42 to Chicago 5 steps also. Good fun. There are of course pivotal musicians and producers that link loads of bands together. Give it a go if you've an idle moment.
