Whoops

"Have to correct the last reviewer. Cheap Trick from Cleveland? Sorry. Rockford, Illinois. Though the opening lick to "Go All the Way" is a classic."
Great great great!

"Man, no one makes music like this anymore; and the Raspberries did it the best. 70s power pop at its peak, this band did it all, did it right, and they quit when they knew it was over.



I swear this band is the missing link between the Who (early good Who, anyway) and Cheap Trick. From the Who they had to have learned writing catchy songs with big crunchy riffs, and had to have passed this on to C.T. (I mean they're both from Cleveland...!).



And what great riffs they are; check out "Go All the Way", "Party's Over", "I'm A Rocker", "Hard to get over a Heartbreak"; songs that stay in your brain for a long time.



Yes, there's a huge Beatles influence, what with the harmonies and Eric Carmen's uncanny vocal resemblance to McCartney. And possibly the Beach Boys, too: check out "Drivin' Around".



Cannot recommend this enough! Hard to believe the man who sang "I'm a Rocker", and meant it, went on to sing "All By Myself" ("I wrote this song all by myself...")."
