A: Yes, they were called Chicago Transit Authority in the beginning, releasing only their debut album under CTA. By 1970 they changed their name due to legal reasons. Their songs were good, even if they did more jamming. They had more of a Hard Rock edge in the beginning compared to the Soft Rock ballads they did later on. And Robert Lamm, Terry Kath, and Peter Cetera shared lead vocals, which adds variety. So I think they were just as good. CTA is the only Chicago album listed in 1001 Album You Must Hear ...

Q: Why is mainstream music considered (by some) worse than underground music?
