Though, at first having this on a greatest hits album, I lost the significance of it being on their debut. Strangely, the song 'Swimming' by Little Dragon always reminded of Mandocello.<br /><br />Though, my favorite Cheap Trick song might be more of a guilty pleasure, 'Please Don't Go'. If they shortened and finished writing 'Gonna Raise Hell', that might have been my choice.itsok2berighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04478158318655473400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357001616333664522.post-57225499311724498432019-02-27T10:28:29.280-08:002019-02-27T10:28:29.280-08:00"Mandocello" hooked me to Cheap Trick.

Although I was lukewarm on most of the debut album I'm glad I stayed with it because of all the great music through the years.cmealhahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03201121023050701074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357001616333664522.post-74364499800163726012019-02-27T08:21:47.511-08:002019-02-27T08:21:47.511-08:00Too many great CT songs to list.

I had created a top 10 post-Dream Police songs list (maybe even for one of the BW posts) and it was incredible. I'll have to see if I can dig that up and play them all again.Troyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04863565099476649907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357001616333664522.post-6963581764347273412019-02-27T08:09:22.692-08:002019-02-27T08:09:22.692-08:00Heaven's Falling written by Todd Rundgren!

Hands down.<br /><br />Followed extremely closely by the power-pop glory of the one of the most amazing-choruses-of-all-time: "Tonight It's You" (the modulation to the chorus gets me. every. single. time.)<br /><br />And, when I pull out the guitar to warm up, "Come On, Come On" is one of my go-to hand-stretchers. Simple, but lots of fun to play. <br /><br />I've always loved this band. They never get the respect that they do for continually putting out consistently good-to-great albums.Shrinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12908213967283171538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357001616333664522.post-71783073698747481232019-02-27T07:18:24.022-08:002019-02-27T07:18:24.022-08:00It's their standout song for me, too.

I was about to move cross country and just couldn't justify it.<br />buzzbabyjesushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09375127662096374324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357001616333664522.post-90204591295209181822019-02-27T06:49:27.541-08:002019-02-27T06:49:27.541-08:00The acoustic guitar you hear is a Mandocello(!).
...The acoustic guitar you hear is a Mandocello(!). <br />Mandolins are essentially violins with frets. <br />In the Early 20th century there were mandolin orchestras, with mandolas, mandocellos, and mandobasses. Crazily enough, there were also competing banjo orchestras at the time. <br />(I used to have an old banjo mandolin)buzzbabyjesushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09375127662096374324noreply@blogger.com
