Segue Myles Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 (edited) Cheap Trick belong to a field of artists who all sound fun but never did anything to truly set them apart. Others include Foreigner, REO Speedwagon, Journey, Bon Jovi. It's a matter of taste if you enjoy these bands but Cheap Trick did nothing that set them apart from other successful bands of their era. Lyrics are trite, music is good but pretty ordinary, vocals are not amazing...none of this would bother me if the fans on this forum were not massive jerks to fans of other bands they don't like. In fact I think in future if someone tells me they are a Cheap Trick fan I would walk off like they have the plague.

They are no different to tonnes of bands that exist. I wouldn't mind so much if you didn't berate bands similarly unspectacular.They were a power pop band that took the genre and added a then unique edginess and quirkiness. Nobody sounded like them and nobody looked like them. I think that gets lost because distractors seem to focus on the 1980s commercial "sellout" period. Personally, for me, it's all about the songs. Listen to the 1977 debut album. Its got a heaviness mixed with melody. Some of it is even a bit punkish. Edgy stuff. And they are a great live band. And I think they are sincere. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's wrong with just being entertained? Using your logic, movies like The Lego Movie, or Dumb and Dumber shouldn't exist. Would you walk off like someone had the plague if they told you they liked those movies? Does everything have to be serious and in depth? And to have a whole thread dedicated to negativity says a lot about the thread starter(s). Dang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
