Giving my age away, yes I grew up humming Terry Kath's incredible guitar solo to Chicago's "25 or 6 to 4" in my head. I hope it's stuck in yours now :) 

I've been a musician all my life. From touring to recording...even working as a music critic. 

Can you believe that I *just* discovered Chicago last year? I always ignored them as pure cheese...

Then a friend turned me on to Kath-era Chicago. Can't believe it took a lifetime for me to discover the genius! 

I have to say, however, that 25 or 6 to 4 sounds a LOT like "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" by Zep.

CTA era stuff is pretty intense as Jimjum notes. Babe I'm Gonna Leave you was written by Joan Baez I believe and that progression is about as old as the blues, there's a lot of songs that use that.  That said, i'm a big Page fan but Jimmy couldn't play Terry's solo from 25 or 6 to 4 :devil:  Terry had a slippery mojo that's hard to define (and play)
