76.   One On One  [One On One]

77.   Hot Love  [self-titled - 1977]

78.   So Good to See You  [In Color]
A great bridge separates the men from the boys

79.   Four Letter Word  [One On One]
I love the crowd noise triggered by the snare. Look for us to steal that soon.

80.   Writing on the Wall  [Dream Police]
Every song from Dream Police is off the board. Does this mean Dream Police is the best CT album? Not Necessarily, but I think it is anyway.

Ranking The Cheap Trick Albums:
1... Dream Police - It has got it all. fun, furious, serious, strange.
2... Cheap Trick(1) - no real single, but who cares.
3... One on One - Gentlemen, start your bitching. If anything, this album should be higher. Roy Thomas Baker did a brilliant job. Listening to this CD, top to bottom, is a pleasure.

I know, I know, what about Heaven Tonight (#4) and In Color (#5)? Great songs no doubt, but I feel the live versions of the tunes have pushed them down a bit.

For the next picks, I have to look deep in my soul.

6... Cheap Trick (2)
7... Woke Up With A Monster
8... Next Position Please
9... All Shook Up - Biggie thinks All Shook Up is their best album, it's just too unfocused for that award.
10... Lap of Luxury
11... Standing on the Edge
12... Busted
13... The Doctor

81.   You're All Talk  [In Color]
I hear Slash is a heckuva nice guy.

82.   Don't Be Cruel  [Lap Of Luxury]

83.   Heaven's Falling  [Next Position Please]
Unknown video from Germany shows Robin struggling to sing this one. "It Feels LIKE..." At one point he just looks at Rick and sorta shrugs and smiles. If Robin can't sing it, it can't be sung. Nice going... Todd.

84.  This Time Around  [Standing On The Edge]

85 (tie)
Born To Raise Hell
[Sex, America, Cheap Trick / Rock & Rule (various artist compilation)]
One of Tom's Favs.
Lovin' Money
[Sex, America, Cheap Trick / bonus track on 1977 self-titled reissue]
Love that guitar solo.

86.  Wrong Side Of Love  [Lap Of Luxury]
Jaws strikes again.

87.   It All Comes Back To You  [self-titled - 1997]
Ranked a little low.

88.   Baby Talk  [1997 single]
Rawk!

89.   Take Me I'm Yours [Found All The Parts]

90.   Cover Girl  [Standing On The Edge]
page 69

Speaking of covers, what Trick album/CD has the best artwork? To Me, In Color has got to be the coolest. It is the first Robin & Tom on the front, Rick & Bun E on the back combo, and it just looks great. You really need the fold out album cover to truly appreciate this one.

I would put Dream Police #2, if only because it takes a unique band to even attempt that concept, let alone pull it off. It is so much easier to do some arty, bullshit REM type cover than something like this.

Great Smiles on Budokan.

Standing on the Edge has a cool cover, but the back is a complete disaster highlighted by the misspelling of Rick's last name.

I am no expert on cover art. For further expertise contact Chia Karaoke at Flippcentral.com. Rumor has it that he is doing the artwork for the new Trick CD. Go buy a Flipp CD while you are at it.

91.   Baby Loves to Rock  [All Shook Up]

92.   Oh Caroline  [In Color]

93.  My Gang  [Woke Up With A Monster]

94.   Wrong All Along  [self-titled - 1997]

95.   Love Me For A Minute  [Woke Up With A Monster]
underrated

96.   All Wound Up [Lap Of Luxury]

97.   Eight Miles Low  [self-titled - 1997]
One of Lou Brutus favs.

98.   Let Go  [Lap Of Luxury]

99.   Can't Stop Falling Into Love  [Busted]
I am still outraged by this single choice. It's not really a ballad, so you don't get those Flame fans. It's definitely not a rocker, so you don't get the Dream Police fans. Who are we getting?

Mr. Miagi once said, "Walk on right side of road, O.K. Walk on left side of
road, O.K. Walk in middle of road? splat."

100.   Magical Mystery Tour  [Greatest Hits]
Not my favorite Beatle song, but only CT could pull it off. Don't try this at home.

1-25  26-50  51-75  76-100  101-125  126-157
