I don't really know Cheap rick but you gotta give it up to this guy for the look that's aged like wine.

He looks like a goofball but he literally could be a cool goofball rockstar from any era from the 70's to today and it would work.

Steely Dan

>implying that doesn't make them cooler

Cheap Trick is highly overrated by the segment of the population that visits Steve Albini's electricalaudio forums.

Cheap Trick is also easily one of my favorite bands. The reason I entered the thread in the first place.

OP here. I can get down with this.

>>74369249

Cheap Trick's obsession over In Color's production reminds me of The La's self-titled album, no matter how many times I listen it sounds great and I can't pinpoint what the fuck the problem is.

I think it's just because their biggest hit "I Want You To Want Me" was absolutely butchered on In Color.

>All those Jap girls in the crowd singing along

Literally unfathomable pussy was slain during that tour.

>>74371167

I prefer the heavier versions out there as well but I figured that was always the point and why it was produced that way - it's a cheesy pop song akin to early Beatles or ABBA, how bare and simple it was clearly worked for Japan at least.

Double Heads was in the 80s tho. Also I don't understand the big deal about Double Heads. It has like one good song on each disc. Mizutani 2 is the way to go.

Let It Bleed and Exile (their best albums) are just barely 6/10s.

>Double Heads was in the 80s tho
fuck
im changing my answer to the residents
double heads just has a lot of the clearest recordings and most expressive performances that a lot of their other shit doesn't have
haven't listened to mizutani 2 yet though, I really should

>>74368898
Led Zeppelin hands down. Nobody in the 70s even comes close.

>>74373071
more like led zeppelin never came close
to making good music

>>74373071
early 70s radio rock bands better than Zeppelin
>Aerosmith
>The Who
>Queen
>Black Sabbath

late 70s radio rock bands better than Zeppelin
>Cheap Trick
>The Cars
>Ramones
>Blondie

Yeah, idk about that.

Goofy rock band, but I can't help but love them. I like their use of key modulation. They also did Nirvana before Nirvana did.

Kurt Cobain was asked what his new album (Nevermind) sounded like before it was released. He said "It sounds like Cheap Trick."

Stooges

>>74373308
I didn't know he said that, but you can definitely hear the similarities.

>>74371167
I never manage to get why the Japanese love Cheap Trick so much, even to this day. Not complaining, though, because I never thought knowing Cheap Trick would actually end up getting me laid one night.
