great pop rock


Cheap Trick is a band that used to write very good and consistently enjoyable albums from start to finish, and that ain't no lie baby. but probably not the best Cheap Trick album, and certainly not the only one you need despite containing all the bands major radio hits.

I'm talking about the first four albums. All classics, and all of them should be bought instead of a grestest hits album. You won't find any filler on the bands first four albums, I guarantee it.

I guess this greatest hits set deserves additional credit for including the live version of "I Want You to Want Me" since THIS is the version radio stations have been playing for years- not the studio version.

All in all, a decent collection, a great band, but pick up the first four albums instead because if you like catchy pop rock/glam rock, you will NOT be disappointed with anything they created in the 70's.


Awesome CD
I bought it to get to know the music before I go to one of their concerts. This was my first Cheap Trick CD. This is a great mix of songs. For someone who has never listened to Cheap Trick, this is a good start.


Another Illinois band
I've been a Cheap Trick fan for longer than most fans out there. What can I say. This Rockford, Illinois band has been rockin' forever. These are good tracks. I like the other 'greatest hits' too though. Put the best of the 2 together, and you have the best of the best. Southern Girls is one of my all time favorites.


One (major) disappointment to consider before purchasing.
I'm sure there have been worse. This is not a bad collection. My main complaint is the alternate version of "If You Want My Love. " To me it's a major letdown because that is one of my favorite Cheap Trick songs and I really was expecting to hear it when I bought this. Now I wish I had not even bought it.

I don't think "authorized" versions are the way to choose songs, the band is always too subjective. They should have taken a poll from amongst their fans, and chosen the results that way. Plus, the omission of one of their greatest recorded songs will potentially lose new listeners who are not as familiar with the band's music. .


Not perfect, but (semi)close...[Really 3 stars out of 4...]
O. The Authorized Greatest Hits by (formerly) the best Rock N' Roll band of alltime, 'The Noise Boys from Rockford, Illinois', is beset by one basic problem - not enough songs from when Jon Brant helped Cheap Trick put out four of the Anglosentric(k?) LPs of alltime! Why isn't Y. Y. O. Y or Take me to the Top on here? Tom Peterson (or is it still Petersson?), that's why!

I'm sure Rick, Brad (Carlson, i. e. Bun E. ) and Robin had many
fights with what's his name about the 'set list' here as well.
I half way expected the wretched "I know what I want" to show
here like it did to tick me off on the Sex, America and Cheap Trick disc. [It sounds better with Rick signing it anyway - Just
like World's Greatest Lover]. I still love though - 3/4's of 'Em that its! .
