Cheap Trick is the self-titled debut album from Rockford, Illinois rockers Cheap Trick, released in 1977 on Epic Records. It announced the arrival of a band unlike anything else in rock at the time — blending hard rock power, pop songwriting instincts, and a theatrical edge that would become their signature. The album laid the foundation for one of rock's most enduring careers.
Tracks like "ELO Kiddies," "Hot Love," and "He's a Whore" showcase the band's remarkable range, from anthemic crowd-rousers to raw, punk-adjacent energy that earned them respect across genre lines. Cheap Trick demonstrated an effortless ability to craft songs that were simultaneously hook-driven and hard-hitting, a balance that defined their appeal and influenced countless artists in the decades that followed.
