  1. One On One

    The Bad Boys from Rockford release #6 on April 30 1982. It's produced by the legendary Roy Thomas Baker (Queen and The Cars) and he brought some polish and synth-sound to pair with the band's signature power pop. "If You Want My Love" is probably one of Rick Nielsen's best power ballads that Robin really nails. But give me the windows open on the highway and "She's Tight" turned up loud. #cheaptrick #oneonone #rock #rockmusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky

    Cheap Trick releases their 17th album on April 1, 2016. It's their first after their induction into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame and their first without Bun E. Carlos. Daxx Nielsen handles all things back beat. BTW, that's MC5's Wayne Kramer you hear on "Do You Believe Me?" #cheaptrick #bangzoomcrazyhello #rock #rockmusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky #ricknielsen #robinzander #tompetersson #daxxnielsen

  6. Self-Titled Summer | Cheap Trick (1977, US)

    Our next Self-Titled Summer spotlight is on number 335 on The List, submitted by mfennvt. Here’s a quick rundown:

    • Point of origin(s): In the beginning, there were two bands from Rockford, Illinois: The Grim Reapers (which included guitarist Rick Nielsen) and Toast and Jam (which included bassist Tom Petersson, fka Tom Peterson). In 1967, these bands fused to become Fuse, whose sole s/t LP (1970) didn’t get the band much traction. Fuse then melded with a Philadelphia band called Nazz, recruited drummer Bun E. Carlos (fka Brad Carlson), and changed their name to Sick Man of Europe. Then, in 1973, Nielsen, Petersson, and Carlos joined up with singer Randy Hogan to form Cheap Trick. Hogan left soon after, and was replaced by Robin Zander. Between 1975 and early 1977, the band recorded a demo, were signed to Epic Records, and released this, their debut.
    • Tasting notes: Power pop, hard rock, a band on the cusp of making hits such as “Surrender” and “I Want You to Want Me”
    • Standout track: Pretty much any other than “Daddy Should Have Stayed in High School”. Note the track order varies between releases, so your overall listening experience may depend on the version you have access to. I prefer it closing with “He’s a Whore”/”Mandocello”/”The Ballad of TV Violence (I’m Not the Only Boy)”; it’s really a way different feel when the album ends on “Oh, Candy”, about a friend lost to suicide.
    • Where are they now?: A few months after the release of the s/t, the band would go back to the studio and pump out their second LP, In Color – this one is also on The List, so we’ll be visiting it at a later date. The band has continued since, releasing a handful of albums each decade and touring regularly. Their most recent LP, the 2021 In Another World, is their 20th studio album. The band line-up currently consists of the same line-up as the s/t minus Carlos. Cheap Trick will be opening for Heart’s upcoming tour this November/December.

  8. I was today years old when I finally checked out the 2010 one-off supergroup #TintedWindows (featuring members of #SmashingPumpkins, #FountainsOfWayne, #CheapTrick, and.......#Hanson?) ...and it definitely has the glammy "bazooka rock" of Cheap Trick as its spine. It's delightfully catchy, energetic and listenable: youtube.com/watch?v=fmbRRBVjTd
