This is a great list but if I had to pick a favorite it would be #1. I love this CD and this song is unlike anything I've ever heard. It's got Chicago, it's got history, it's even got a bit of The Cure stuck in the middle for good measure. Crazy.
Chicago, in fashion,
the soft drinks, expansion,
Oh Columbia!
From Paris, incentive,
Like Cream of Wheat invented,
the Ferris Wheel!
...
Ancient hieroglyphic, or the South Pacific,
Typically terrific, busy and prolific.
Classical devotion, architect promotion,
Lacking an emotion. Think about it now.
...
Chicago, the New Age,
But what would Frank Lloyd Wright say?
Oh Columbia!
Amusement or treasure,
these optimistic plesures,
Like the Ferris Wheel?

I am obscessing on two CDs right now....
Bon Jovi
and
Keith Anderson
Cheryl is blogging again by the way
While I wouldn't consider myself a big Bon Jovi fan, I do remember loving the Young Guns soundtrack. Who is Keith Anderson?
That's great news about Cheryl, I'll have to go check it out. And your blog too! My scrolling shoulder has been killing me, and that has been keeping my computer time to a minimum :(
Keith Anderson is a country artist.
Not generally a bon jovi fan either
