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?
