Cheap Trick

"Four Letter Word" is the closing track on their 1982 album, "One On One", produced by Roy Thomas Baker of Queen fame. It is one of their hardest albums and one that sounds closer to their earlier stuff, but played much heavier. For those of you out there who perceive the band as a ballady type, this song might surprise you: loud, pounding, heavy and with an ending that sounds more like Motörhead. Robin Zander is one of rock's most underrated singers. Enjoy and leave your comments!

Parts of it remind me of Billy Squier "Stroke Me"

Quite simply, the best American rock band ever. That's my opinion, true, but also several others.

@cheaptrickfan40 yeah man! This song rocks! I love to put this one on to all my friends who think Trick is just "The Flame" or other mellower shit. So glad to see Rick Nielsen on That Metal Show recently! So long overdue! Cheers man!

@alcest35 Right man! Cheap Trick are one of the best. What really pisses me off is that a lot of people tend to dump CT along with other poppy, non-rocking bands. How come they don´t dumb Aerosmith with the pop bands??? I mean, they did nothing BUT pop in the 90's/early 2000's. Cheap Trick rock just as hard but just because they don´t have the typical "mean rocker" image they get mixed up. They shold be inducted in the RnR hall of fame soon!
