UPDATED 3/1/22: As one of the seven members of Chicago as featured on their 1969 debut album Chicago Transit Authority, bassist-singer Peter Cetera's soaring tenor became an integral component of the band's sound on such hits as "25 or 6 to 4," "Feelin' Stronger Every Day," "Just You 'n' Me," and "(I've Been) Searching So Long." When his own composition "If You Leave Me Now" became Chicago's first-ever No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 - not to mention in international territories such as Canada,

The Trogg Tapes
CD: Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada 1976's The Trogg Tapes showed that the band behind "Wild Thing," "With a Girl Like You," and "Love Is All Around" still had some steam left in them.

In Deutschland
CD: Bandcamp / Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada Los Angeles scenester Kim Fowley's raucous, irreverent live album In Deutschland was recorded on October 26, 1992, with Fowley accompanied by Flamin' Groovies singer-guitarist Chris Wilson. The show didn't exactly go as planned; the band hadn't been properly rehearsed, and mid-show, the concert organizer asked the audience if they wanted it to continue. Their response was a rather convincing "No!" but Fowley and his band played on.

While the lyrics were filled with aggression and the spirit of youthful rebellion, they weren't devoid of self-aware humor. And though the sound was primal, abrasive, and
