Cheap Trick

Referred to as the Japanese Beatles, none of Cheap Trick's first three albums made the top 40 in the US, they all went gold in Japan.  Cheap Trick at Budokan came out when I was in Junior High.  Hadn't given them much thought over the years until the other night the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame concert at Barclay's Center in NY was on.  Guess who just got inducted.

More popular in Japan than America, Cheap Trick still managed to be voted 25th on VH1's 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock.  They were one of the popular bands when I was in Junior High School... middle school for you young whippersnappers.

Now that brings back memories...
