I have some new found apreciation for Cheap Trick. never listened to them till just yesterday i discovered their song 'Surrender' and i am a bit obsessed with it, what a great song!
anyhow there wasnt an apreciation thread yet only the following.
cheap trick to tour ?? #
Def Leppard/Cheap Trick Tour #
Cheap Trick/Def Leppard Ticket For Sale #
Cheap Trick Support #
so anyhow what is the deal with this song, its very cool. So it got me wanting to do some music talk.
I havent yet found a song by them that is as good. suggestions, yes please!
negative abuse about this thread, no thanks!
I haven't found the appreciation but I appreciate you have, see the 80s ramble ramble..cheap trick...MOR..etc..surrender was early..and good.
two words: wacky guitars
Wons, get the first five albums (Cheap Trick, Heaven Tonight, In Colour, Live at Boudokan, Dream Police). The rest have some good tracks, but aren't essential.
Fave tracks: Hello There, Southern Girls, Oh Candy, I Want You To Want Me, Dream Police, Way Of The World, If You Want My Love.
Dream Police is a goddamn masterpiece.
or monsterpiece even.
check out the posies cover of surrender... it's cool.
Add 'He's A Whore' and 'Takin' Me Back' to the list as well.
Live at Budokan is a must!
cool, thanks!
One of my favourite punk bands!
funny you say that, nic.rulz - I remember seeing the clip for Elo Kiddies on Countdown back in '77, seeing Rick Nielsen in that nutso chequered getup and cap, and thinking ''ah, this must be that punk rock I've been hearing so much about....''

The re-recorded their 1977 album ''In Color'' with Albini in 1997. It is bitchen!!!
Wow, Albini doing IN Color? Jblz, WHERE can you get a copy of that recording?
its a fairly rough sounding recording. almost demo-quality to my ears.
Why, on this page right here! http://www.rocktownhall.com/blogs/index.php/cheap-trick-in-color-steve-albini-the-wh/
Sounds very good to my ears despite being 128kbps
Thanks jblz, enjoying this right now. Would love to hear Albini and Cheap Trick have a go at the first CT album. Though I imagine it wouldn't be as marked a difference as this treatment of In Color is to the original -- the debut had a real edge to it anyway.
I played this recording for two days straight now. What a hoot. Still, I want to find a better bitrate version.
