Forget about the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. It's a joke. Nothing against Buffalo Springfield, I think they were great. But, they were only together for two years and recorded 3 albums. They are inductees. Trick is one of the best rock bands in the history of contemporary music. It's ridiculous.
you guys are right... what a great bassline...i always thought it made the song. i bought the cd when it came out and found out {happily} that almost all of the material on it was well above par. they are one of my faves, and still productive. in one of my conversations with rick and brad{ bun e.} they told me they play over 200 shows a year....amazing
Simply put, this song had the makings of a full blown comeback... but with the record company woes, it just wasn't in the cards. Such a shame, as I was the only kid in school wearing a Cheap trick shirt back then.
What a great song..one of my faves..Tom's bassline is incredible....The Rock N' Roll,(sic), Hall Of Fame should be called the Hall Of Shame for omitting thes guys....a fucking crime!
Record company goes belly up just as this cd was picking up steam. This was going ot be their break through cd. Lap of Luxury was not a true repersentation of Cheap Trick. CT97 was them in all their sonic glory
The Guess Who and BTO are two bands worthy of the Hall of Fame, but Zzsmile summed it up well I feel.

How was this not a bigger hit? Oh right, Dead Ant. Great song, just tremendous! Totally under-appreciated.

This song still holds up, shame Red Ant became Dead Ant and this album disappeared.

zepncat: Wow, good to see someone recognize that (bassline). I've always thought the same thing; it sounds even better in this live version.
