serai.
When I decided to start doing these posts, it was with the intent of doing my own thing, borrowing only the title from the excellent nightly LNMC posts at Crooks and Liars. But tonight their entry really fit my head this evening, so I shall reproduce it here, along with pointing you over to it.
(Also, if you enjoy these posts, you should check out and bookmark the original Late Nite Music Club. They rock. Also, they jazz, croon, bluegrass, and classical.)
Surrender - Cheap Trick
When I woke up, Mom and Dad were rollin' on the couch
Rolling numbers, rock and rollin'
Got my Kiss records out!
Cheap Trick might not be the greatest band of all time, but they're definitely the least bad.
Arena rock without the overblown self-importance. Pure radio pop without the bubblegum. This song, about coming to terms with the fact that your parents are a little edgier than you might be comfortable with, has always been my favorite.
My friend and I make a lot of top ten lists about music, and Cheap Trick was #1 on our "least hated bands of all time" list along with Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, X and Thin Lizzy. Who else can you think of that might not be everyone's favorite, but rarely inspires revulsion in anyone?

ETA: The commenters at the C&L page are going nuts posting links to vids of 70's-80's tunes. Oh gods, I am having such fun reliving my past!
