I'm not much of a Cheap Trick fan, but I found this for $2 in the clearance bin. I figured I couldn't go wrong.

At 13 tracks, I don't know all the songs on here, but it's fun to hear Dream Police, She's Tight, I Want You To Want Me, and Surrender. Although I'm usually a fan of covers, I could do without their versions of Magical Mystery Tour, Don't Be Cruel, and Ain't That A Shame. I had forgotten Tonight It's You and If You Want My Love but glad they're on here; I always like being reintroduced to old songs. I've never liked The Flame, but it unfortunately it has to be included. Come to think of it, I'm not much for any power ballad. I don't remember hearing the last three tracks before now: I Can't Take It, Can't Stop Fallin' Into Love, and Voices.

Personal Memory Associated with this CD: I Want You To Want Me takes me right back to junior high again. Surrender, of course, reminds me of Damone scalping tickets in Fast Times at Ridgemont High.
