Sweet home Chicago: Name your favorite bands from the Windy City

Blues-brothers-1 You'd think a city that gave birth to so many movies during the '80s would have been a center of music as well. But consider how relatively few '80s bands have Chicago roots:

Styx, Cheap Tricks, the Blues Brothers (and that's stretching it) and, of course, Chicago.

What bands are we forgetting?!?

Sound off now before Sean Daly and I tackle "Chicago in the '80s" for this week's Stuck in the '80s podcast. It's all part of the hype for this year's Regeneration Tour stop in Chicago on June 26. If you're planning on going to the concert, don't forget to e-mail me at stuckinthe80s@tampabay.com so we can set up a get-together before and/or after the show.
