"Southern Gurls"
"Dream Police"

Only Pick One. Sometimes it's POO, Pick Only/Out One

― kornrulez6969 (TCBeing), Thursday, 9 March 2006 21:10 (twenty years ago)

"Auf Wiedersehn" forever. (But if I had to pick something right behind it, "Gonna Raise Hell" and "Surrender" in a close tie.)

Ian's choices are sound.

"You haven't got much TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIME!"

Also, a tipped hat to "Violins," as found on the box set.

"You look just a little like Hitler
I think that you look like his picturrrrre!"

As sung in vaguely harmonized falsetto squeals.

So many great songs listed here already. Unfortunately after their first 4 or 5 albums they descended into mediocrity but they had a helluva run there for awhile.

The Ballad of TV Violence
He's a Whore
Dream Police
Gonna Raise Hell

If You Want My Love

this song is definitely underrated in the trick canon.

― Knute Rockne, All American (Jody Beth Rosen), Friday, 10 March 2006 02:37 (twenty years ago)

If You Want My Love

A near perfect pop song.

― Jeff K (jeff k), Friday, 10 March 2006 02:44 (twenty years ago)

― electric sound of jim (and why not) (electricsound), Friday, 10 March 2006 03:02 (twenty years ago)

this song is definitely underrated in the trick canon.

Agreed. The box set version's a keeper and then some. (Of course you would mention it, Jim, it was a hit there and nowhere else! ;-) )

Second choice after "Stop This Game,": "Reach Out" -- which was on the soundtrack to Heavy Metal: the Motion Picture, not sure if it was on any of their own LPs.

two years pass...

"I Can't Take It" is still the best Cheap Trick song ever.. since 12 or 13 years ago I've thought this, and I really don't understand why this song is so underrated.. which it clearly is since no one has mentioned it here.

I need to get the first three albums off my ex's hard drive stat- this thread is stirring up some serious withdrawal symptoms!
