There is so much one could say about this song and video...but I'll just point out that Peter Cetera is wearing a Bauhaus t-shirt.
He wears a Ramones shirt in other videos. He's like the anti-Heston. He seems to have great music taste, but just plays in a shitty band.
Got a Rake? Sure!

Cetera is a bit of an enigma for me. He was pretty kick butt in the early days of Chicago and then he turned way too smooth - but I still kind of dig him.

Despite current prevailing opinions I like a lot of different music.

That said every song posted in this thread (so far) is grade A awful.

The chorus is nice, the rest s'alright but then again, a bit wanky.

Good confession thread here. I sorta like Saturday in the Park. Very evocative of a certain sort of pleasant summer day.
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead

25 or 6 to 4 is a straight up butt kicker!

I can't stand the guitar solo in 25 or 6 to 4. Sounds like someone throwing wah-wah pedal down a flight of stairs.

It reminded me of the heavy as fuck part of Babe I'm Gonna Leave You.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

This video is not available here, I'll assume it's a classic though.

This might be the wimpiest song ever released. Maybe only second to Bread's "Baby, I'm A-Want You" which always frustrates me because you just don't get to add an extra syllable to make everything work. It should be "Baby, I Want You"!! That "A" should not be there!!
