I talk about it in my book but title track best, voices should have been a bigger hit and way of the world underrated
Cheap Trick released their fourth studio album, “Dream Police” on this day in 1979. It became the band’s most commercially successful studio album and was certified platinum within a few months of release.

What are your thoughts on this album?
What’s your favourite track?

When people accused them of being a cover band, I tell them if they wanted to they'd have been amazing. But they weren't

Here's Robin doing the Stones in 1973

GREAT MORNING.The rock and roll hall of fame has finnaly inducted Warren Zevon. Warren has been eligible for 30y, but only now has been inducted, despite having created guitars, designed the microphone nd also owning copyright to all music cause he made that too, he made nd copyrighted all music als

I mention it in my book that Rick also suggests that “Can’t Hold On” is also about Marshall Mintz

Not sure if I'm doing this right, but sounds fun... Easier to go 1 to 15 than inverse, so starting at #1

Oh, Candy

Easily my favorite track - despite only learning later what it's about.

Back to the debut album for *He's a Whore*. Sort of traces of their punk tendrils. Tom and Bun keeping manic time, Rick shredding, Robin alternating between singing and yelling. The beginnings of specialness.
