Two great rock and roll bands but I’ll take Chicago.

Oh boy.

So what versions of the bands in question? Peter Green era versus Terry Kath?

Hands down Chicago. Awesome music and an awesome concert show if you get the chance.

Since I don't go to Twitter anymore, can we have the argument here?

Fleetwood Mac all the way! Christine (Perfect) McVie way underrated. I like what Stevie and Lindsey brought to the band as well. "Tusk" was their best album overall.

This one is easy. Both play good music, but Fleetwood Mac let the Democrats use their songs with their approval.

On the other hand Chicago had a ranch where they rehearsed and following that they took breaks out on the gun range they had on the ranch. Rode horses too.

You decide. :)

Fleetwood Mac versus Chicago?

Pasta versus a city?

I vote for the Kingston Trio! Oh, wait. I don’t think they were part of this particular band debate. I guess I’ll just hang down my head and cry.

“Chicago!!!!!” voted one enthused devotee of the “If You Leave Me Now,” and “You’re the Inspiration” …
The so-called “enthused devotee” is definitely not a Chicago fan.

Now talk tunes like Introduction, Free Form Guitar, even Ballet For A Girl In Buchannon and that would be more like it . . .

Gotta go with FWM. I always found Chicago’s sound overbearing. But I respect their success and talent. I guess I’m not into the horns.

But both are far down the list behind Led Zeplin, The Who, The Beatles, AC/DC, The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Queen, Guns N’ Roses, to name a few...

Both were great bands with real creativity and passion.

Chicago was earlier, and they pursued different musical visions IMHO.

Chicago was produced — and some might say invented — by James William Guercio, who was looking for a jazz-rock fusion sound, possibly one of the first to do so, at least in the pop domain. He was producing The Buckinghams before BS&T came out with their first album.

The Buckinghams were also from Chicago. I mean the city.

While Fleetwood Mac was a good band, no comparison to Chicago, especially the early albums, Chicago was a Improv type band with a great sound.

Not even close—Chicago—Terry Kath 1968-1978 era—. First concert I saw—1977 New Haven Coliseum 1977—
Jimi Hendrix said Terry Kath was the best guitarist he ever saw-—
The first 5 albums are serious classics-still listen to them all the time.

I thought Chicago was a JAZZ group.

And Fleetwood Mac went from a blues rock band to a pop/adult contemporary act.

went viral, and has since racked up more than 1,700 likes and 4,200 responses

Doesn’t take much to “go viral” anymore.

It will always be “Chicago Transit Authority.”

How can the have such a debate without throwing Blood, Sweat and Tears into the mix?
