And I already have a partial answer.
Chicago Transit Authority and Chicago hold up pretty well.
Chicago III tries way too hard. I bailed midway through "Free" (the sixth track).
I'm not even gonna attempt IV (Carnegie Hall) and have moved on to Chicago V, which I was lukewarm on at the time. Might just have been "Dialogue" (if you're going to make an argument about awareness and involvement, at least win it). We'll see.
(UPDATE: Chicago V isn't any better to my ears than it was in '72. On to Chicago VI.)
