American Who

[An English Boy]

Instrumentally, Cheap Trick are so like The Who-> it is amazing.

If you are a musician you will understand what I mean.  Listen to
CT's first album, the track MANDOCELLO is SO Who->Like and
even incorporates a little Pete-ish solo from 5:15 on Quadrophenia.

I've seen CT almost as many times as The Who-> and, when you
strip them of the little radio friendly ditties, there is a band SO
HEAVY and SO TALENTED.

Not to offend, but, ANY "CT" album will have attributes in abundance
that are similar and very like The Who->, IF one has ears that listens
to the *music* and not the pop lyrics (which is not to say that CT is
all pop, as anyone who has ever played a whole lp will tell you).

Wanna great, Who->Like "CT" track?

"Daddy Should Have Stayed In High School"

or

"Oh Candy"

..speaking of OH CANDY .... when CT played it on NYE 1979-80,
I could have die right then and there, happily.

I fuckin' Love Cheap Trick...!

AEB~
