“How can the have such a debate without throwing Blood, Sweat and Tears into the mix?”
+1. Saw Chicago & BST twice. Chicago was great but IMO, BST’s horn section was far more powerful.
Perhaps, I wouldn’t argue with you. But when it came to putting together horn arrangements for a rock band, James Pankow of Chicago was unmatched. Better even than the Tower of Power horn section, which is probably my favorite. Ballet for a Girl in Buchanan is sheer magic. (It includes the hits Color my World and Make Me Smile)
