In the world of Greatest Hits albums, none seems to be more overlooked than Chicago IX. Also, there aren’t many that can hold a candle to this. Released in 1975, this album covers the band’s most exciting period (their first seven albums), and all of the tracks feature the great Terry Kath on guitar. The band was experimental and upbeat, with their best songwriting. Kath died in 1978, and the band carried on…but they also turned into a ballad machine and were never the same. This is THE Chicago compilation to have, because it has nothing from their weak latter period. And I can guarantee you…if you were a kid and grew up with this band on the radio, you’ll be surprised to find that you know every single word.
Chicago’s greatest song (and Kath’s greatest guitar moment) is “25 Or 6 To 4”. Any album with this song on it is worth having. But here, the hits just keep coming. And coming. Robert Lamm and Peter Cetera were both great singers and writers. Everything here is pure gold. “Colour My World” was the prom song for everyone in the 70’s. Cetera’s “Wishing You Were Here” is a haunting beauty. Some of these tracks were written by members of their excellent horn section (“Call On Me” and “Make Me Smile”. The album ends just as strong as it starts, with Lamm’s epic “Beginnings”. Chicago’s early albums were often long and laden with filler…but there is not a miss on this excellent collection. Truly one of the best hits collections ever. Ever. [First added to this chart: 08/25/2014]
