2K CHEAP TRICK - In 40 Minutes

Time for another episode of our In 40 Minutes series where we curate what we think are the best 40 minutes of music from an underrated band's career ... with headbangers and hard rockers in mind (ie. you won't be hearing many ballads or hits!). Basically, it's what we'd put on a single vinyl release (being limited to 20 minutes per side) if we were asked to put a Best Of record together to convince the uninitiated long haired miscreant that this band is worth checking out. This episode is dedicated to the resurgent pop metal unit ... Cheap Trick. Specifically, we're focusing on their 2K material when the band issued a handful of strong and fun albums, proudly proclaiming that they won't be going away quietly into old age. Come on, come on!!!
