Chicago, “Stone of Sisyphus” from ‘Stone of Sisyphus’ (2008): Saturdays in the Park
A title track recalling the Greek myth where Sisyphus must forever roll a huge boulder uphill perfectly described Chicago’s predicament at this point.

Sometimes, as the Bill Champlin-sung “Who Do You Love” from Chicago’s ‘Twenty 1’ makes clear, less is more and more is less.
“God Save the Queen” is perhaps the best track on ‘Twenty 1,’ and easily one of Chicago’s better post-Terry Kath songs.
Composed by the established hitmaking team of Tom Kelly and Bill Steinberg, “You Come to My Senses” isn’t a bad song. It’s just a bad Chicago song.
Unfortunately, Chicago had no idea how to make a promising demo from Marc Jordan into something of their own. Here’s my suggestion.
Bill Champlin does his best, but Chicago’s utterly generic “You’re Not Alone” could have been a minor hit for any number of other bands of the same era.
If you somehow feel compelled to listen to Chicago’s by-the-numbers ballad “I Don’t Wanna Live Without Your Love,” check out the weird and delightful video.
As a child of the ’80s, Chicago’s “Over and Over” still manages to take me back to the hot summer nights of my childhood every time.
I can trace my love of Chicago back to one moment – 1986’s No. 3 Billboard smash hit “Will You Still Love Me,” a song I call “the switch.”
“Here Is Where We Begin” is an exceptional song in spite of Chicago, not because of them. Credit former Ambrosia frontman David Pack.
