I've cracked. Not only did I get a CD to replace my twenty-year-old cassette copy of Chicago, Greatest Hits (1982-1989), but I'm listening to it. Right now. And Enjoying It.

And remembering that dumb-ass idea I had for a video for Stay the Night back in highschool. No, it didn't involve chasing after a girl in a fast car.

Oh god, I've turned into An Old Person! Heeeeeeeeelppppp Meeeeeeeee!!!!!! XD

I remember that song! They used to show the video for it on Friday Night Videos, along with ZZ Top's "Legs"! Hee hee hee, gotta love the 80s!
Also, "Love Me Tomorrow".

The Chicago of the 80s is a whole other animal from the Chicago of the 70s.

Yeah, it is. I think my musical taste bowed out of the years from '72-until '78 when rock really started getting the limelight and evolving into the 80's.

The video was fun. And yeah, the 80's vids were...well, okay not exactly the best thing evar, but definitely entertaining for the most part.

Ah yes, Styx. The only group in my collection that rivals Bon Jovi in regards to number of CDs/tapes owned. *g*.

Part of my problem is that my mom kept me up on Motown and jazz artists, and choir supplied me with country and Broadway (ah, the joys of a New Jersey education system *g*), but I was denied a rock-and-roll diet until I got shipped out with my Dad to Tucson in '82. Even then, I was mostly exposed to pop-rock until my sophomore year in highschool in '84, so I was just in time for the hairbands, rap, and metal, but had missed most of the 'classic' groups and had to discover them later.
