    CHEAP TRICK: America’s Ultimate Rock Survivors (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Cheap Trick may be America’s greatest rock band, and the reason has less to do with record sales or fame than it does with something much harder to measure: survival. For more than five decades, Cheap Trick has simply kept going. They recorded, toured, played small rooms, played arenas, opened for bigger acts, headlined their own shows, and kept showing up. On the way up, they opened for just about everybody. On the way down, they were still willing to play the room. That kind of career takes mo

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    There was something deeply special about Benjamin Orr. He was the bass player in The Cars, but that description never quite captured what he brought to the band. He was a gifted musician, a songwriter, a performer and, above all, the owner of a voice that could make a Cars song feel personal. When Orr sang, there was warmth in the music.

    The Album That Made Rock Feel Dangerous Again (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    By the summer of 1987, rock music had become polished. There were massive arena tours, glossy music videos, enormous hair and production that sometimes seemed bigger than the songs themselves. Their debut album, Appetite for Destruction, didn’t feel polished. The album had been released in July 1987, but it took time to catch fire.

    The Night Bohemian Rhapsody Changed the Rules (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    In 1975, rock music was already big business, but nobody had quite prepared listeners for what Queen was about to unleash. Bohemian Rhapsody arrived on A Night at the Opera in November, and almost immediately, it sounded like nothing else on the radio. At nearly six minutes long, it ignored one of the biggest rules of the era: singles were supposed to be short enough to fit neatly into a DJ’s rotation. Freddie Mercury didn’t seem interested in rules. The song moved through ballad, opera, hard ro
