By the late 1940's, the Chicago blues scene was growing fast; many of the migrating musicians from Mississippi and other Southern states started finding fame by bringing the blues to the big city. By the late 50's, it was set in stone and dozens of bluesmen made their mark on music history. The urban blues sound shaped rock music and the world was never the same again.
There cannot be a definitive top 10 list of Chicago blues, but I've come up with a list that should satiate your musical needs:
10 - I Can't Quit You Baby - Otis Rush
9- Hoodoo Man Blues - Junior Wells
8- Sweet Home Chicago - Magic Sam
7- Juke- Little Walter
6- Evil -Howlin' Wolf
5- Blues Don't Like Nobody - Otis Spann
4- That's All Right - Jimmy Rogers
3- Big Boss Man - Jimmy Reed
