THE ALBUM OF THE DAY
CHEAP TRICK...Cheap Trick (1977)
(CD, Allmusic review)

What an interesting, strange, dark, heavy, humorous debut from Cheap Trick. Having said all that...I recommend you check it out. Of course, we all know their hits, but checking out their beginning is well worth the time. Highlights include "He's A Whore", "ELO Kiddies" and "Daddy Should Have Stayed in High School"
