I grew up on the ubiquitous Chicago hits on AM radio and always thought they were hummable but ultimately forgettable.  It wasn't until I heard Kath's Free Form Guitar, then Lamm's So Cal Purples, then the cover of Winwood's I'm a Man on Side 3 of Chicago's first album that I really started to dig what the band was all about.  
I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....

Curved Air - The Purple Speed Queen, mainly because that's the only song I vaguely know from the list. Embarrassed

Voted for Wicked Minds and Taal. Two songs from two great albums.

Gogol Bordello all the way.

to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...

I don’t mean to be cynical, but I can’t help but think some of the votes are multiples from one person. Curved Air had five votes within minutes of this poll being first posted. 🤷🏻‍♂️

It clearly doesn’t need my vote, so I voted half a dozen other options that I enjoy.

Which ones were those?

Good question. I should have said. Tori Amos was one. Hang on, and I’ll look and see if I can remember,.... 🤔

[EDIT] Karcius, Tori Amos, Adrian Belew, Frank Zappa, Tangerine Dream, and U Totem.

I think.....? 🤷🏻‍♂️

(There are several I could conceivably have voted for, but I usually like to vote for the tracks I don’t expect to see a lot of votes.)

I'm giving this playlist a proper listen.  It would be nice if there were more music with actual videos with them.

A few notables amongst them...
-
Sound more like Jazz metal but I like it.
- PTF - Purple Mist (Jazz rock/Fusion)
This one is a Jazz classical combo that's quite nice and would be a great early morning soundtrack to my coffee on the patio.
- Niacin - Purple Rain (Jazz Rock/Fusion)
What can I say...I LOVE organ and Niacin has been a favourite of mine for years. This bluesy version of Prince's PR is typical blues bar fare.
- The Who - A Man in a Purple Dress (Rock)
A somewhat Dylanesque tune. I was never a big Dylan fan, I had a good friend in high school who loved Dylan and hated ELP. He and I would get in great discussions (arguments?) about Dylan and ELP. He would say anyone could push a button and make a bunch of bleep bop noises and I would say anyone could sing like it was their first time with a mouth full of marbles. Ahh, good times.
- Chicago - South California Purples (Jazz rock)
A great tune by a classic band
- Wicked Minds - From The Purple Skies (Heavy Prog)
The beginning of this tune grabbed my attention because of the Jon Lord like organ. Very nice Deep Purple vibe.
- The C Sides Project - Purple Hearts Corner (Crossover)
A heavy tune with a little Emersonesque organ at the beginning. If they had kept it up this might have been the one...HOWEVER
- Gorgol Bordello - Start Wearing Purple (Punk)
Ok, now we're talking ! I love this tune, it's almost a Sasha Cohen Baronesque song.
This gets my vote.
Thank you for listening to them and your input regarding the notables.  Interestingly enough, I learned about Gorgol Bordello from discussions in the Shred Room many moons ago with some long departed members.  I might not have included them in the poll except for that connection.

Tough choice between two horn driven classics: Zappa and Chicago
