I've been on a "music I listened to in high school" kick lately. So, Cheap Trick. What are some good albums of theirs from the late '70s and early '80s? I have the album All Shook Up, plus a few other hits of theirs.

Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
Also, what are the essential Kinks albums (any era)? I've got four or five....
The Kinks didn't make any bad albums in the 1960s.

in this, I can hold myself to the same standard as the Kinks.
The only Cheap Trick albums I can think of from that era are Live at Budokan and Dream Police, but I've never listened to either entire album.

I just downloaded those from iTunes.
Weird that neither iTunes nor Amazon has downloadable Kinks albums from the '60s. Some greatest hits albums that include songs from the '60s, but that's it.
I think Live at Budokan is the one my bro regards as essential. I never gave much though to Cheap Trick and then I saw them live (at The Last Fling in Naperville of all places) and on a blanket on the gress I really listened to Surrender for the first time & I grabbed my friend and started shaking him because he was talking to someone else during what he surely must realize was the best song ever written! Now every time I hear that song I get a little shock of happy memory.
You need the first (self-titled) Cheap Trick album, Tom.
In other news, could there be a more Buffista collaboration than this?
Nick Cave and Neko Case have recorded a cover of the Zombies' "She's Not There" for the debut episode of season four of "True Blood." >[link]
The second Cheap Trick album, In Color, is pretty great, too.

No. Unless they decided they needed a theremin player....
