Cheap Trick just need to pick a few Shazam songs to cover on their next
album. And while I'm fantasizing, they could cover "Ahhh", a great Do Ya
inspired indie single from the mid-seventies band Amnesia.

I did enjoy "Too Much" and "My Obsession" but the rest is flat and
uninspired.
If I known about The Darkness until this month I would have reshuffled my
Best-Of 2003 Top 20 to include that CD.
I have always thought that Cheap Trick could best self-produce themselves
after being screwed around by Epic and so many producers for years. After
"Special One" they seriously need to get a producer that will kick them in
the ass and a good A&R guy to sort through demos and pick out the best songs
for them.
