I deem this a 100% cooler move than the one purportedly made by a guy  
seated behind me at... some event where members of CT were present ,  
it was so long ago I can't remember, but still ridiculous numbers of  
years after Zander's album came out. He spent the whole evening  
loudly dominating the conversation at his table with arcane Cheap  
Trick knowledge, and then this tidbit: "I was talking to Robin  
before, and I was all, dude, what was UP with that solo album?" (The  
tone being all nudge-nudge-wink-wink, 'between us guys you know it  
sucks, right?' He related this as though it was the most badass move  
ever made by anyone. )

I like to think that actually never happened.

Other things I like: Robin Zander's solo album. It's not my favorite  
OF ALL TIME or anything. But still.
