Cheap Trick

[IbanezSamurai]

Cheap Trick is a U.S. rock band from Rockford, Illinois, that gained popularity in the late 1970s. The band members are Rick Nielsen (guitarist and main songwriter), Bun E. Carlos (born Brad Carlson) (drums), Robin Zander (vocals and guitars), and Tom Petersson (bass guitar). Though they have had only brief flirtations with mainstream success, Cheap Trick has held a substantial following through regular touring and a hard-edged yet blissful pop sound that combines the tunefulness of The Beatles with the speed and energy of punk rock. Cheap Trick arguably is one of the first pop-punk bands. The band's biggest hits over the years include "I Want You to Want Me", "Surrender", "Dream Police", "Don't Be Cruel" (a cover of Elvis' hit), and "The Flame". Their most recent release, Rockford, has gained critical acclaim.

So yeah, let's discuss this awesome band!

I was listening to their Live at Budokan album, pretty good band.

I was looking at the booklet and their members seem somewhat unrelated, also their guitar player has a big guitar collection.

[RNR]

Live at Budokan is great. They play maybe 2 or 3 songs from it on the radio.

[Brokensticks]

I have their greatest hits album on my itunes. It's really good listening I think. I have a wide range of music in my library. Although I don't think it's pop-punk it is good catchy tunes.

[PinkFreud]

It's more just stadium rock than pop-punk.

I like them, but I haven't heard any of their releases from recent years.

I think that 70's show theme is cool.... And they sing it.
