Favorite Cheap Trick song. (1 Viewer)

[JuniorNB]

I listened to "Cheap Trick- Live at Budakon" in the gym this morning. I almost forgot how great that album is.

What is your favorite Cheap Trick song?

Please use the "other" choice if there's a great, lesser-known song by them that you like. I'm looking for some great, undiscovered CT tunes, but they have a huge catalog to start from.

 

[On The Rocks]

i can't narrow down a favorite.

Live at Budakon was one of my first albums.

 

[Hov34]

Surrender

Budakon is still one of my favorite albums. There is no way I could narrow my vote down to a single song.

 

[Dave Baker]

Going to a party...

California Man.

 

[Nigel Tufnel]

"Surrender"

 

[saintfool]

"i want you to want me" easily.

 

[Beaumont]

Surrender, although I am surprised that "Dream Police" gets no love from anyone ...

 

[Poison The Well]

 

[The Noid]

Do covers count?

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Ain't that a shame those weren't included.

I'll be the first.

I'm surprised as well.

Can you honestly tell me that you forgot the magnetism of Robin Zander or the charisma of Rick Nielsen?

My favorites are probably a couple off of All Shook Up - "Stop This Game" and "Baby Loves To Rock".

 

[GRIDIRON ASSASSIN]

I think BY FAR the most underrated Cheap Trick album is this one.

And my favorite Cheap Trick song is an obscure tune off that album: High Priest of Rhythmic Noise

There's a Cheap Trick tribute band that plays now and again around the Chicago area - not too bad.

Egg-zactly, which I noted above.

This thread got me to dig out the disc... Baby Love to Rock - top notch! On an airplane (whoooosh)

Ain't That A Shame....

I Want You To Want Me...

 

[FairWarning]

Dream Police followed by Voices

 

[Despyzer]

Dream Police followed by Voices

Reverse that and it would be

 

[Verbal Kint]

Suprised at all the love for The Flame.

 

[RBM]

Mommys alright...

Daddys alright....

They just seem a little weird....

 

[Doug B]

Voted "I Want You to Want Me", but only the hard live version with Rick Neilsen's improv guitar licks. The studio version on In Color is no more than a snappy little ditty.

 

[GRIDIRON ASSASSIN]

Mommys alright...Daddys alright....They just seem a little weird....

The original lyrics and version are on the reissue of "Heaven Tonight"Very creepy sounding

These postings are like magical mystery tour of Cheap trick's covers

Does anyone have the mp3 of Baby Loves To Rock? I can't seem to find it.

 

[Encyclopedia Brown]

Robin Zander is awesome.

 

[jon_mx]

"i want you to want me" easily.

I have to agree. Much better than Surrender, IMO

Agreed, can't narrow down to a single song. However, In Color is my favorite album of theres

 

[optionmaven]

Who didn't own a copy of Budokan when it came out??? A mainstay in the day and even today. Zamboni already quoted him, but Damons rendition of Dream Police is awesome.

 

[Mjolnirs]

How does a 5.5 year old poll get bumped? That's some serious searching going on.

 

[General Malaise]

Anybody voting for "Flame" should be castrated.

 

[rockaction]

Surrender, although I am surprised that "Dream Police" gets no love from anyone ...

 

[Apple Jack]

Dream Police, followed by Surrender.

I'd be happy to never hear I Want You to Want Me ever again.

 

[Oliver Humanzee]

The correct answer is "Downed", followed by "Auf Weidersehen", followed by "Surrender", followed by "Southern Girls".

In Color is the best studio Cheap Trick. There is a live bootleg out there called Samurai Rock Band that is among the best recorded performances I've ever heard. Budakon--Tom Peterson's bass, specifically--sounds positively neutered compared to it.

 

[kutta]

Awesome, way underrated band.

 

[Abraham]

Playing with Aerosmith at the moment. Looking forward to Austin show.

Yep.

 

[Raider Nation]

Can you honestly tell me that you forgot the magnetism of Robin Zander or the charisma of Rick Nielsen?

Damn you! Beat me to it...By almost 6 years.

That's kids stuff.

"NO... I don't have any Blue Oyster Cult!"

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Robin Zander is awesome.

The guy still has one of the great rock voices.

 

[bakes]

"Speak Now (Or Forever Hold Your Peace)" off of the first album. Kurt Cobain must have listened to that album. A lot.

Oh Candy Live

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Live...about 5% different from the studio version.
