I'm still glad I have my subscription to Apple Music since there's a lot of great stuff, some familiar, some niche. I've been trying to listen to all of Chicago's albums starting with their debut Transit Authority (and I first heard of the band when my dad started playing compilation albums in his car when I was still in high school, which was ages ago). I love the fusion primarily of jazz and rock, and their seventh album is in my mind one of their best with plenty of standout, toe-tapping tracks. Some of the lyrics are a bit asinine at times (like "snow, snow, snow, snow, snow, snow, snow..." in "Song of the Evergreens"), but the music largely compensates for them.
