Cheap Trick
Since Bon Jovi pretty much suck lately I listen to other bands. One of them is Cheap Trick. It never stops to amaze me how many great bands are around and I don't know them
 This band is a strange collection of people. The guitarist Rick Nielsen, even in the heyday of rock music he wore a baseball cap and short hair, he still plays crazy guitars (eg a five neck guitar or Uncle Dick). I adore the singer, Robin Zander, for his ability to play with his voice. He can sing punk or metal with an interesting rasp in his voice, then he sings a ballad the way that girls want to throw their bras onstage The bass guitarist is the first one to play a 12 string bass. And finally the drummer is again someone who you wouldn't guess to be a musician in the 1970 and 80s. He is now replaced with Nielsen's son.It's time to stop talking and listen to some music. I Want You To Want Me The song that made them famous. Actually its live version from Budokan 1978. Given the beat you wouldn't expect a slow song. If You Want My Love This is a less known version, released ten years ago. I've known this version for ages but I didn't dig further to discover the band. This is my fav song. It's a Beatles ripoff but still, I just love it. I admire Robin for carrying the vocals alone during live shows. The Flame Typical 1980s ballad, It's written by an outside writer to revive their career. They hated the song simple for not being theirs. However it became a huge hit. Here you can hear the brilliance of Robin, the way he plays with his voice, changes to falsetto etc. Tonight It's You I love the chorus, it has energy. She's Tight Example of their almost punk music and whole new layer of Robin's voice. Can't Stop Falling In Love This reminds me of The Boss. Surrender I can add some more videos later, for example live shows etc. Is there anyone elso who loves this band?
