Performer: Cheap Trick
Producer: Jack Douglas; Richie Zito; Tom Werman; Tony Platt; Jeffrey James (Compilation) Distributor: Sony Music Distribution ( Notes: Photographer: Caroline Greyshock. This budget-priced collection from Sony/BMG features a scant ten songs from Rockford, IL's greatest rock band. Super Hits lives up to its name by including Cheap Trick radio classics like "Surrender," "I Want You to Want Me," and "Way of the World, but the lack of key album cuts like "Mandocello," "ELO Kiddies," "Southern Girls," or "Dream Police" keeps this mini-anthology firmly entrenched in the "cheap" bin. ~ James Christopher Monger
Cheap Trick's first few albums are often cited as an influence on both '80s pop-metal and the pop-punk phenomenon of the '90s. Robin Zander's rock-star looks and powerful voice played perfectly off guitar hero Rick Neilsen's oddball image and onstage antics, and the band frequently subverted standard rock song structures with odd, ironic lyrics. In their late-'70s heyday, Cheap Trick's fusion of power-pop and hard rock won them credibility with rockers, new wave fans, and pure popsters. Their 1978 release AT BUDOKAN still stands as one of rock's finest concert albums.
