They've got a lot of good ones, but it's "Surrender," hands down. Especially the Live at Budokan version.

I can remember being about 10 or 11 and seeing Cheap Trick on MTV and becoming an immediate fan of Rick Nielsen. That led to me asking my parents for my first guitar. Once I got the guitar, the first sheet music that I bought was Cheap Trick's "Lap of Luxury" album.

Honorable Mention to Surrender, Dream Police, Can't Stop Fallin' in Love, and every song on Lap of Luxury except for...

My favorite Cheap Trick song is All We Need Is A Dream

what Jon Eric said (again). Surrender!

I do love the song Dream Police too.
PS I'm fond of the song that is also the "That 70's Show" theme song.

I remember doing "Surrender" as a live-on-stage-thrown-directly-into-the-fire audition. The problem was I learned the studio version, and they were playing the Budokan version. I still like "Surrender" and "I Want You to Want Me".
