    1. "Stay the Night": from Chicago 17
    2. "If You Leave Me Now": from Chicago X
    3. "Just You 'n' Me": From Chicago VI

    I also appreciate the earlier cuts :

    Beginnings -- Questions 67 & 68 -- 25 or 6 to 4


    Later, Chicago became very good at the ballad department :

    Searchin' So Long -- Hard to Say I'm Sorry -- Hard Habit to Braek
    old Denon
    older Bose
    new Velodyne sub
    new Sony 1080 LCD & BluRay
    Big, clean sound @ 800 watts

    Thanks everybody

    I'm probably the only one, but liked their later albums better than earlier ones as more jazz infusion is evident in first few albums (not a jazz fan)

    But they do have few iconic songs from that peiod which you all mentioned including "25 or 6 to 4", "Beginnings" and "Saturday In the Park".
