Wow, that IS good news as Cheap Trick is still one of my favorites when I want to listen to something non-metal. If you like Cheap Trick, you might really like a band, that is sadly no more, called The Spelunkers. They are out of Normal, Illinois, and they are one of, if not the top power pop bands in my collection. They do an unbelievable version of Raymond Scott's "Powerhouse"
which some of you may know as the theme from Ren & Stimpy.....
KILLER players & nice dudes who have split and gone off to do their own musical things. If their cds are OOP, perhaps I can burn a copy of each (2) for Prog Power.....Lemme know and REMIND me if you are interested.....

I'm a rabid Cheap Trick fan and, after many, many more listens, my opinion of 'Rockford' hasn't changed. It just has that classic Cheap Trick sound written all over it.
I will have to check out The Spelunkers, never heard of them, but sounds as if I might enjoy them. Pop isn't necessarily a bad word to me. Esp. in the context of a well-crafter rock song, as Cheap Trick do so well.

I already pushed some people here into listening to Irish Coffee, a good Belgian early 70's hardrock band...When searching the internet for their (rare) vinyl I suddenly came across this single, it's the Mexican promo for their single "Masterpiece". Even the band, who I have contact with now and than, didn't know about this single. Funny is that the title "Masterpiece" is put in Spanish on the cover "Obre Maestra". This is probably one of the rarest hardrock singles on earth, I'm pretty sure of that, and owning such a gem makes my day, week , month, hell...my year

Astounding stuff Gert! Does it come in CD format too?   Irish Coffee definitively is a great underrated band.
