The Flame
"The Soundtrack of Your Life | DAY 16

"The Flame" by Cheap Trick




For some reason, Cheap Trick is never a band that I immediately think of when I think of great bands of the 80s. Even though they have some iconic songs that I instantly recognize (like "Surrender"), they just don't enter my head when I'm trying to come up with rock bands from my childhood. It's usually only after I've heard them on another source ("Surrender" re-entered my playlist after being featured on a segment of Conan O'Brien's late night show, and this one after being used on The Goldbergs).

I also, for some reason, always thought Cheap Trick was a British band, but apparently they're actually from Rockford, Illinois in the good old U-S-of-A. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2016, after more than 5,000 live performances, 20 million albums sold, and multiple resurgences in popularity over the decades.
