What’s your favorite song about Chicago?

I like Frank Sinatra’s “Chicago”

I also like Kanye’s “Home” with John Legend

Yeah yeah I know, Kanye. But this is an older song before he went cuckoo. It was when he was first making a name for himself and was pretty level headed. It’s a good song.

Great song. The original is amazing, though I could listen to just the piano version all day as well.

I like this one more than the one mentioned in the OP.

The "Chicago" song is good, but it reminds me of one of his rat pack/ "Vegas Show" type of songs. Pretty good, but light.

"My kind of Town" has more weight to it and reminds me of the songs of my favorite Sinatra album, "Watertown".

Kanye's HOME song that was released with J. Legend is actually an older song that he did with a more soulful beat.
I remember getting it on a random mixtape some dude was passing out back in highschool. Like 05.

I prefer the soulful version of the Kanye's Home. The popular version isn't terrible, but after hearing the one with J. Legend, it sounds cheap in comparison.
