BrennanHOST
1:24
Rock and Roll, heard more Cheap Trick songs, and I was never into those as well.
BrennanHOST
1:29
I Want You to Want Me and Surrender are the two other big ones.
BrennanHOST
1:33
They've always been classic rock radio cloggers for me, so I don't know, I just always misses with Cheap Trick.
BrennanHOST
1:40
I don't like those songs.
BrennanHOST
2:21
How many times do I have to say this? Downed is the third track from Cheap Trick's second album, In Color, so I gave that bastard a run, and I was into the album big time.
BrennanHOST
2:32
Every song.
BrennanHOST
2:34
I Want You to Want Me studio version is on what we're hearing tonight, and I like the studio version as opposed to the definitive live Budokan version that always was on, uh, Q104.3.
BrennanHOST
2:49
But, now In Color is a underrated classic.

of the
ChrisHOST

But I mean, really, everyone is fully aware of the song.
ChrisHOST
9:05
I want you to want me that was on this album.
ChrisHOST
9:07
and that has been a song that's carried their them in their career because i kind of remember cheap trick being more of like 80s and then kind of spilling into that with other stuff but um there's some really really good songs so a song called oh caroline another one southern girls and then hello there so pretty cool album um and you know it's something that you know as i'm sure there's a ton of jeep trick fans they probably like might like their 80s stuff but from 77 this coming out this is their second record this is this is a pretty good record so cool that's my number five
ScottHOST
9:39
yeah i saw this record on there and i was like i like cheap trick but i do like their later stuff a little better obviously like with uh dream police and surrender and all that stuff but that's a great song and they're a really good band i feel like they're almost like an underrated band I agree.

Mark DavisHOST
10:34
