Chicago Transit Authority:

Chicago Transit Authority:(1969)
The debut album from Chicago Transit Authority, later know simply as Chicago, a prog rock jazz fusion affair.  At times this album gets way too up it's own ass for my tastes. My parents didn't own many records, maybe 20 or 25, and they weren't very meticulous at maintaing what they had...so I can tell the records they really loved, and played to death. Hell, my Dad once wore out a copy of Planet Waves by Dylan and The Band, we'll get to that later. This album is an interesting addition to their collection, not only is it still very clean (obviously not played much), but they're not that into prog-fusion stuff. All I can figure is that they liked the song, Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is? A song I myself don't really mind, and I'm sure that that coupled with the fact that I like the album cover are the reasons I've kept this piece around for so long. Ce La Vie.
