Career
They performed a number of popular singles in the 1970s, including the smash hit "I Want You to Want Me." After tireless touring in the early stages of the band, Cheap Trick built up a fan base and got signed to Epic Records in 1976. Their first three albums didn't make much impact in the United States, so they recorded a live performance in Japan, where they had managed to become popular. The resulting album, At Budokan, finally secured the band fame in America, particularly behind the live recording of "I Want You to Want Me."-
