Reviews Customer Reviews for Cheap Trick Greatest Hits      A decent intro and nothing more      Rating:      I agree with most of the reviews here. Cheap Trick- Greatest Hits gives you most of their chart hits but doesn't give you their best stuff. The fact that there are no studio tracks from either of their first two (and best albums) underlines the problem with this collection. To be fair, there is still a lot to love here. You have the excellent "Voices" and the awesome title track from Dream Police. You have their signature track in "Surrender" along with the two big singles from At Budokan ("I Want You to Want Me" and "Ain't That a Shame"). You also have some golden nuggets from their inconsistent `80s albums, most notably "Tonight It's You", "She's Tight", and "I Can't Take It." Then you get "The Flame", "Can't Stop Fallin' Into Love", and their mediocre version of Elvis Presley's "Don't Be Cruel." Big hits? Yes. Their best songs? Not even close. To top it off, you have the unnecessary cover of the Beatles' "Magical Mystery Tour." Your best bet? Pay an extra 6 bucks and pick up The Essential Cheap Trick which gives you a generous portion of their great early stuff (the first four albums) as well as the aforementioned nuggets and even the schmaltzy big hits.     Customer Reviews for Cheap Trick Greatest Hits Cd      A Terrible Representation of Cheap Trick      Rating:      Cheap Trick was one of the finest rock bands of the late 70s. However, their best material is omitted on this CD and the greatest sin of all is that there is not one song pulled from their phenomenal, yet under recognized debut. Skip this CD and fork out the extra cash to buy either all of their first five albums or a compilation that presents Cheap Trick as they truly were in their golden years, prior to the embarrassing 80s tripe; you will not be disappointed.
