Chicago 5

I had written the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last year suggesting their induction. In the early days, Chicago was one of the most innovative rock bands out there. They actually came before Blood, Sweat and Tears, though BST's album came 1st. Though 2 key members are no longer in Chicago (the late, great Terry Kath and Peter Cetera), they continue to make music to this day. One guy said they were uninteresting and unoriginal. I wonder if the guy ever heard their version of Steve Winwood's "I'm A Man" the entire "Ballet For A Girl In Buchanon" or "Dialouge Parts 1 and 2." If not, that's his loss. Anyways, that's all I need to defend this band. We want to see some progress in 2010 for Chicago!

Just wondering...did they ever answer you?

No, they didn't. And none of the bands I suggested were inducted this year. However, my wife and I plan to see Chicago in June.

You won't be disappointed. I hope to see them again this summer, also! The Rock Hall of Fame is a fascinating place to visit, but unfortunately it is rife with politics & cannot be considered a museum in the true sense of the word, in my opinion. It is more of an "Exhibition Hall".
