I don't know how, or why, but I was, at one point, in the possession of a mix CD that had some live version of "I Want You To Want Me" on it. I remember the crowd screaming back "Cryin! Cryin!

At this point in my life I'd say that song wasn't so bad, but when I first heard it I would have said it was amazing, maybe embarrassed to admit how thoroughly relatable it was. It's not cool to be the one wanting, is it?
But in terms of great - great was "My So-Called Life". Did you like the show, or just the soundtrack? To be honest, I had no idea Cheap Trick had anything to do with the show.
