Sophomore album from the Illinois boys and one of their best imho. The band, formed in 1975, consisting of Robin Zander (vocals, guitar), Rick Nielsen (guitar), Tom Petersson (bass) and Bun E. Carlos (drums). Produced by Tom Werman, which the band was unhappy with, saying it was over produced. Sounds good to me. They were so unhappy that they went in the studio to re-record the album in 1998 with Steve Albini producing. Now that's a slap in the face. A little extreme I think, to go back 20 years later, but whatever. The project was never completed, although the album was re-released that year. One of those things that make you go hmmmmm. Was it finished or not? From it's kickoff, Hello There, and the call of "would you like to do a number with me?", I was there. The album reached #73 in the U.S. Some excellent live clips here.
I LOVE THIS ALBUM
Worst Track - Oh Caroline
Best Track - I Want You To Want Me
I want you to want me.
I need you to need me.
I'd love you to love me.
I'm beggin' you to beg me.
I want you to want me.
I need you to need me.
I'd love you to love me.
I'll shine up the old brown shoes, put on a brand-new shirt.
I'll get home early from work if you say that you love me.
Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'?
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'?
Feelin' all alone without a friend, you know you feel like dyin'.
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'?
I want you to want me.
I need you to need me.
I'd love you to love me.
I'm beggin' you to beg me.
I'll shine up the old brown shoes, put on a brand-new shirt.

Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'?
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'?
Feelin' all alone without a friend, you know you feel like dyin'.
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'?
Feelin' all alone without a friend, you know you feel like dyin'.
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'?
I want you to want me.
I need you to need me.
I'd love you to love me.
I'm beggin' you to beg me.
I want you to want me.
I want you to want me.
I want you to want me.
I want you to want me.
