Of the ones in the list i like:

Sara Smile- One of H&O's best tunes

Right Back to Where We Started From- cute fun

Take it to the Limit- sad as all get out- but good tune

Shower the People- ok

If You Leave Me Now- not my favorite Chicago track, but not bad

Don't Go Breaking My Heart- What happened to Elton John?Compare this and Philadelphia Freedom to the boring drek he's putting out now.

I'd Really Love to See You Tonight- pleasant enough, so is Nights Are Forever

You'll Never Find- this is so over the top it's funny

Other favorites:

Most of Stevie Wonder's Songs in the Key of Life
Inseparable- Natalie Cole
Wake Up Everybody- Harold Melvin & the BlueNotes
You Don't Have to Be A Star to Be in My Show- Marilyn McCoo/Billy Davis Jr
Tracks of My Tears- Linda Ronstadt
Turn the Beat Around- Vickie Sue Robinson (SO much better than Gloria Estefan's cover, but Gloria's gets all the radio airplay now)

Just an FYI about "Dream On" and Aerosmith:This was out LONG before 1976, because I was living in New Hampshire at the time. Aerosmith is FROM NH, and my sister, one of their original groupies, had the album "Dream On" was on. It became a national hit in 1976, maybe. I was living in Mississippi by then, and heard it come on, and wondered why on earth they were playing Aerosmith, who was to me a local NH band only.

Sadly, not knowing they'd be a mega-super-group, my sister gave a ring she'd received from Tyler to another girl. And her original autographed copy of their first album was destroyed by the hot MS sun. Oh well.
