This 2 CD set is a really good collection of their songs over the years. I am happy with my purchase.

I have always been a fan of Chicago, and from the time I was a teen, I have tried to collect all of their works. Unfortunately, (for me)my collection spans many decades and therefore many technolgies rendered obsolete by the magic of lasers. I no longer have the equipment to listen to my 8-tracks, cassettes, or LP's, so when I saw this 40th Anniversary CD, I had to have it even though I already own all the original recordings included on the CD. I love the clarity of the remastered recordings, and appreciate the fact that it is digital and I can listen to it anywhere, thanks to the next generation of gadgetry (MP3 player, iPod, laptop, and the CD players at home, work and in the car. I am happy that Chicago chose to include most of my favorites on the CD, although I am now looking for the "Live at Carnegie Hall" boxed set on CD to make my collection complete. I nearly wore out the albums! For those of you who may be too young to remember, Chicago became a super-group back in the late 60's when most of the popular bands were what we called "acid-rock", (Led Zepplin, Cream, Iron Butterfly, etc.). Chicago brought a unique blend of excellent lyrics, vocals, brass, guitars and percussion instruments to our ears that has never been matched or even copied. I was fortunate enough to see them twice in concert, and unlike many of the top 40 bands of the day, the sound was real; the sound engineers simply recorded it! Other bands sound like a garage band when they perform live on stage. I would highly recommend this CD to anyone who would like to hear what true talent sounds like. There will likely never be another group like Chicago.Read full review
Whether you've loved Chicago from the beginning, or you're much younger and trying to catch up on their body of work, this CD is a must have!!! All of their greatest hits in one place and it only takes up 1 slot in the CD changer. It's great to see a band have this type of staying power for so many years with their quality musicianship and artistry. Their live concerts today sound just as great as their recordings from 40 years ago!
Chicago's Greatest Hits, is one of many great cd's that define a era for me. Very nicely.

I bought this CD because I love Chicago! They are my all-time favorite group. The brass and woodwinds encorporated into their music makes them unique. Combine that with the excellent song-writing and great musicians, and you have fabulous music. The entire two-CD set is absolutely wonderful. The first CD is mostly their earlier music, and the second CD is mostly their more recent music. For a group to last as long as they have, you know they are doing something right!
