1310 - Cheap Trick Big Eyes 1977

There's nothing progressive about "In Color", Cheap Trick's second album. On the surface, the group is distinguished by its eccentric appearance: the pair of Rod Stewartstyle "punques" are standard enough, but lead guitarist Rick Nielsen, a bug-eyed Bowery Boy, and drummer Bun E. Carlos, are out of some other movie altogether. Musically, the group is less eccentric: this is mainstream rock & roll, utterly without outrage or excess. The album made the band superstars in Japan. The moody mid-tempo stomper "Big Eyes" is a strong cut.

977 - Cheap Trick Surrender 1978

"Surrender" is a single by Cheap Trick released in June 1978 from the album Heaven Tonight. It was the first Cheap Trick single to enter the Billboard Hot 100 chart, peaking at number 62. It is a late 1970s teen anthem, describing the relations between the baby boomer narrator and his G.I. generation parents.
When Cheap Trick still performs this song, Rick Nielsen often throws Kiss records to the audience in live performances at the moment Kiss is mentioned in the song.
