Rather than try to cover “Dream a Little Dream of Me” the way others had in the past, Chicago took a classic and made it their own.

There isn’t a bad song on 2015’s ‘Toto XIV,’ or songs that fall prey to the “skip” button. “Fortune” is no exception.

By the time “The Show Must Go On” finally saw official release, everything had changed – for the song, and for Chicago.

“Get On This” was ballsy, adventurous and risky — things Chicago had arguably not been in a long time. So, why’d they leave it on the cutting-room floor?

“Cry For the Lost” leaves listeners wondering why Chicago didn’t lean more heavily on Bill Champlin’s bonafide songwriting chops.

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.
