Sorry, I cut and pasted that from @jasonbourne52 post above. I had never heard of them, so didn't know the exact name. Should have noticed when I researched the bands. "Construction #1" was the name of an album from them. |
Some people take comments made on this forum FAR too seriously. It’s entertainment, folks, not life-or-death. I guess I was assuming everyone viewed Chicago as do I. In the early 90’s I was doing some demo recordings with a talented young songwriter, and he brought in a piano player to flesh out his songs. At one point the pianist suggested something related to the music of Billy Joel, and the songwriter (who was heavily influenced by songwriters such as Paul Westerberg, the guys in Uncle Tupelo, T Bone Burnett, Peter Case, Lucinda Williams, John Hiatt, Dylan of course) and I looked at each other, both startled to learn (and aghast) that we were in the presence of a musician who didn’t consider Billy Joel the worst of the worst. Not in terms of talent, but of coolness. Is that also not a sentiment universally agreed upon? If not, I’m in the wrong company ;-) . |
