Cheap Trick is in the top 5 of greatest American rock bands of all time.

I always loved this song. It's Hard was the first album I purchased on CD format, thus necessitating a long wait before enjoying it, when I finally could afford to add a CD player to my system. One of my sister's sharp-eared friends told me to listen carefully at the end and you can hear Roger sing "everything's f#@&ed." (Once heard, it can't be unheard.) I had always thought disguising that was the reason they were out of sync at the end. I also assumed the title was a jab specifically aimed at the Catholic church for their policy of protecting depraved clergy despite accusations of rape and molestation.

Trying to hold that note near the end as you sang along with this song. I would take the biggest breath I take in order to hold it sometimes even holding it longer.

Great band, good interview Professor. R.I.P. Doug.

Very insightful video, thank you! I'd be remiss if I didn't point out Chris Cornell's version is absolutely haunting as well. RiP kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6a4dYWLbpJ7iM0

Yeah, Townesend had issues alright, I seem to remember very questionable photos on his computer??

Well, this is the worst video of all youtube

Check out Karen singing Ave Maria on their Christmas album.

I always thought they were decent musicians at best but very creative which made up for it.

The 80s were NOT the ME decade that was the 70s the 80s were the yuppie decade or DINK, double income no kids

I chatted with the late, great Manny Charlton and told him, I mean this as a compliment but in your solo on the live version of Telegram from Snaz part of it sounds like the solo from Queen Brighton Rock. He said, “That was a good catch. That was a little bit of Queen. I only steal from the best! lol”

Agreed the best lyrics in a song ever... That line! At the time I lost My Dad, broke up with my bf of 10 yrs and then my dog died 😢 Black was a sort of comfort I could relate to ❤

His manager said, Is he kidding?! I knew we would have to pay for that someday!

Having grown up listening to all kinds of music, I've always liked Abba, just like Jethro Tull, Deep Purple or The Beatles. My favorite song is The Day Before You Came, which really hits home in my case. But so many of their songs are really beautifull, I never get tired of listening to them.

Ric once said, "If it was a good song, I sang it. If it was a great song, Ben sang it".

Ironic ? Iconic !

When he was on MTV he was trying to avoid sharing the spoils. Money makes people talk shit!

Yeah, the song aged very well, but those haircuts didn't!

Lol.... Yeah, not joking 🕺

I saw an interview with Pete who said Keith "was a sloppy drummer, I always thought so". WTAF? When he was unconscious he was yeah, other than that he was brilliant. On your own there Pete.

If I had a talk radio show, this song would be my theme. I have that song in my head as the messed up sync, maybe that's why I like it? BTW, I was around 20 in 1982 and had Its Hard. Loved it!

Hey, I wanna see more of that Indian movie! 😁

I watched this at least 60 times, I get goosebumps every single time, I cried as well. Best ever cover of the best rock song ever by my most favorite band ever from my favorite 2 female rockers ever!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Roger Daltrey was pissed at Pete for keeping the better songs for Empty Glass. But the producers on Face Dances and It's Hard didn't do a good job. The production on both is really bad which is a shame.

I finally got to see them for the first time May 26, 2024. They ARE AMAZING! ❤

Ann singing Alone a Capello......😲🤯 UNbelievable

OF ALL THE SONGS EVER MADE AND WILL BE EVER MADE IN ALL OUR LIFETIME, "MY GIRL" WOULD BE A TOP 10 OF THE GREATEST SONGS EVER MADE!!!!!!!!!!!! PERFECT HARMONIES!!! ALSO A GREAT TRIBUTE TO WOMEN AND THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS TO A MAN'S LIFE!!! AS JAMES BROWN SONG SAID, " THIS IS A MAN'S WORLD, BUT IT WOULDN'T BE NOTHING WITHOUT A WOMAN OR (" MY GIRL") YEAH I CHANGE " A" FOR "MY"!!! THE TEMPTATIONS ARE AS GOOD AS THEY COME!!!

Its true the group was having 'issues' in 1982 they did their first Farewell tour, with one concert date played live nationally over subscription TV (ONTV) following an example set by the Rolling Stones in Dec. 18, 1981 (Hampton Roads, Va). Well forty years on they're both still around 😆

I liked the Gin Blossoms back in the day. Still take a listen here and there.

I always wondered what the song and phrase meant. It was always obscure to me.

As a high schooler (Junior, to be exact) when the Idol remake climbed to the top in 1987, I'm one of those people responsible for popularizing the obscene chant, and I still do it every time I hear the song 35+ years later. Sometimes you don't fully grow out of adolescence.

Icons of “yacht’ rock”😂 Disco effing duck was a hit. These 2 nothings with $, crap hits. They win, though. ROCK? The r&r “hall of fame” a sickening joke…perfect for Cleveland! AIR SUPPLY? Look at how these twits are dressed. I have never met a “Air Supply” fan. dipsh*t is garbage.

Always loved Eminence Front. It was up there for me with Won’t Get Fooled Again, Baba O’Riley, Who Are You, Bargain, I can See For Miles, Pinball Wizard, Join Together, etc. They are probably my favorite band and I could go on and on with songs I loved. Love the show and keep up the great work.

Snap call... Layla.

T-Rex were also

I always thought 1982 was a really boring year for music. Rock and Roll was having a party in 1981, and 1982 felt like the "hangover" the day after

Now you're nitpicking. Lunatic Fringe would NEVER have been a hit. Same deal as "I Melt With You" - never charted higher than the low 70s, but the album went platinum because of the song's airplay.

I used to do the Elmer's glue on the palm!

The problem with ALL of these talkaholic hosts is THEY NEVER GET TO THE POINT!! If you’ve lead off with claiming you’re going to name the all-time anything, then NAME IT and stop yapping non-stop just to keep people hanging on. I’m tuning out- not interested in waiting any longer. Good way to lose listeners… Stupid

Killer sound.

it's a good song. i also like athena.

I have always loved their music. Didn't really care for the TV show. Mike was always my favorite.

Sorry, still don’t believe he was joking

A fantastic song with a more modern edge!

I've never rated Townsend as a guitarist of note. He was no better than I was, even at the height of The Who's fame. If they hadn't adopted the practice of smashing their instruments, they would have never been noticed at all, they were so mediocre! That guitar smashing really had me truly hating them. Then Townsend had the audacity and temerity to even write " Rock operas'?? Come on! Their Post-Moon output was all rank rubbish!

Best version of this song to date is by Sinead. So much raw emotion and such a unique voice. Runner up would be Chris Cornell’s version.

By all means read his book, "Me, Music, and The the Mob" or something like that.

I liked this video but due to KZbin hatred and bullying. There's no thumbs up. Fight against KZbin and things can change.
