Chicago or ELO ( Electric Light Orchestra)?
By admin | July 23, 2009
Which do you like better?
To me, it’s an even tie in second place for me. In ‘98, when I REALLY start getting exposed to classic rock, I loved them both as my faves. That is, until I got exposed seriously to Crosby, Stills, & Nash (& Young) in ‘05. Now they are bumped into second place.
My fave Chicago songs: Take Me Back To Chicago, Mississippi Delta Blues ( on the XI cd, that version), Alma Mater, Feeling Stronger Everyday, Hard Habit To Break, You’re The Inspiration
My fave ELO songs: Turn To Stone, Shine A Light ( I may have that title wrong), Mr. Blue Sky, Don’t Bring Me Down
I love the horn section and jazz that Chicago put into their rock, and the classical that ELO puts into their music. True originality! Also, most of Chicago’s songs don’t fade out as it ends.

Chicago… Beginnings is AWESOME. ELO music sounds too 70’s… their music didn’t age well IMHO.

I really like Chicago a lot. Have for several years. I was a teen in the 70’s, so I’ve listened to them since then. ELO is ok, but I only like a few of their songs.

Again…another excellent question I have to go with ELO. I saw them in concert a few times and they are amazing. They also have an awesome light show that goes with every beat in their music. Some of my favorites…..Strange Magic, Can’t Get it Out of My Head n Hold on Tight.
Chicago…Make Me Smile & Color My World. I’ve seen Chicago too. This one is a close call. :~}
Another star for you!
