126.   High Priest Of Rhythmic Noise  [All Shook Up]

127.   Wild Wild Women  [Standing On The Edge]

128.   Shelter  [self-titled - 1997]

129.   Twisted Heart  [Sex, America, Cheap Trick]

130.   It's Up To You  [The Doctor]
I used to have a bootleg video from Harpo's in Detroit on The Doctor tour.
They opened up with this. My little sister recorded soap operas over it after school one day. Not cool.

131.   I Don't Love Here Anymore  [Next Position Please]

132.   Cry Baby  [Woke Up With A Monster]

133.   Who D' King?  [All Shook Up]

What is the first of the last? This is a list of best album closers:
1... Need Your Love
2... It's Only love
3... Invaders of the Heart
4... Rock n Roll Tonight
5... So Good to See You
6... Ballad of TV Violence
7... Four letter Word
8... It All Comes back to You
9... How Are You? (Claire)
10... Love Me for a Minute
11... All Wound Up
12... Who D' King
13... Wild Wild Women

What a strange list. CT takes some chances with their last songs.

134.   Rock All Night  [Standing On The Edge]

135. Dancing the Night Away  [Next Position Please]
It sounds like CT took revenge on Epic for forcing them to do this. You need to hear the original to appreciate (understand or be confused by, might be better descriptions) this version.

136.   Kiss Me Red  [The Doctor]
Sorry, Ken.

137. You Must Be Dreaming  [Heavey Metal (soundtrack)]
Using as live intro music is a nice touch.

138. Up The Creek  [Up The Creek (soundtrack)]
Got to love the Bun E. piling into the hot tub for the "topless" video.

139.   Carnival Game  [self-titled - 1997]
I know people who really like this song and are going to get hostile about this low ranking, but I just can't get past the "kaleidoscope of memories" line. I am probably being hard on it, but then again... get bent.

* * * * * * * WARNING! * * * * * * *
Reading any further officially makes you a loser. Proceed at your own risk.

140.   Spring Break  [Spring Break (soundtrack)]
It made a Spring Break mix tape. Was there really a movie for this, or am I thinking of "The Elder"?

141.   When You Need Someone  [Busted]
Marred by John Tesh-esque keyboard sound.

142.   Money (That's What I Want)  [Caddyshack 2 (soundtrack)]
Bonus points for appearing on Caddyshack 2. Who would have guessed that gulf between Rodney Dangerfield and Jackie Mason would be so wide?

143.   Name of the Game  [The Doctor]
The name of the game is what you have left behind. Who is going to miss you
when you are gone? What is your place in history?

The most important American bands (not solo acts like Elvis, Chuck Berry or
Dylan mind you):

The Beach Boys - Influenced The Beatles for Christ's sake.
Ramones - Got punk going in the UK.
Kiss - Brought merchandising and glam to the mainstream.
The Doors - Jim was the first Rock Star singer.
Van Halen - Don't blame Dave for his bastard sons.
Nirvana - Tastes grungy.
The Jacksons - Boy band.
Cheap Trick - Say hello to Weezer and The Foo Fighters
REM - ANI
Red Hot Chili Peppers - The beginning of rap metal, yuk
Metallica - Bad guitar sounds make it big.
Public Enemy - Rap, Rock and Politics.

This is just off the top of my head. It may not be completely correct, (Sly, Fugazi, Tempatations), but its better than that TOTAL piece of shit top 100 bands of all time nonsense that came out in Entertainment Weekly or USA Today or whatever.

144.   Busted  [Busted]

145.   Space  [Lap Of Luxury]

146.   Go For the Throat (Use Your Own Imagination)  [All Shook Up]

147.   Man-U-Lip-U-Lator  [The Doctor]
Not as bad as you think

148.   3-D  [Next Position Please]
Do you like what you hear?

149.   Never Run Out of Love  [Woke Up With A Monster]

150.   Rearview Mirror Romance  [The Doctor]

151.   The Doctor  [The Doctor]
Now that you mention it, I am feeling a bit nauseous.

Ok, first the bad news, The Doctor sucks. There is no way around it my fellow Trick fans. Defending it is embarrassing to you, me, and the band. So stop with the silly posts at Cheap Trick.com, OK?

Cheer up, here is the good news, I've done a little research, and it turns out that all the greatest bands in rock history have put out a shitty record. Let It Be, Emotional Rescue, every third Dylan or Neil Young album. Watershed's Carpet Cliff. Don't make me play you The Kinks' Preservation Act 1 & 2. (The Kinks are my second fav. band by the way.)

A student of boxing would know that a true champion only proves his worth
after suffering his first loss. To rise up and win again is the real test of a warrior. Cheap Trick got off the mat, and kept fighting. (other examples -Abby Road, Voodoo Lounge, Time Out of Mind, Ragged Glory, The More It Hurt The More It Works, Give the People What They Want, and Ali vs Foreman.)

152.   No Mercy  [Lap Of Luxury]
Mercy!

153.   Ride the Pony  [Woke Up With A Monster]
Spared a lower ranking by my confusion. You guys just fucking with me, right?

154.   She's Got Motion  [Standing On The Edge]
Got me again, good one guys. Seriously, knock it off.

155.   All We Need is a Dream  [Lap Of Luxury]
House of Lords suck ass

156.   Good Girls Go To Heaven  [The Doctor]

157.  You Drive, I'll Steer  [Busted]
Keyboard intro is like a cement boot to the bottom of the list.
