Cheap Trick

Cheap Trick is a power pop group popular in the seventies and eighties, considered the definitive and most popular power pop group of all time. They are best known for their concert album Live at the Budokan, which was recorded in Japan. The most popular track from that album is I Want You to Want Me, which is more popular than the album version because it is faster. In comparison, however, the album version has backing vocals which echo the final word of the chorus. Cheap Trick also contributed the song Mighty Wings to the blockbuster film Top Gun. Their hit song Dream Police was inspired by the Tought Police from the iconic dystopian novel 1984 by George Orwell. They had several hit singles and bestselling albums. Some of Cheap Trick's hits have become classic rock staples.
