Yes, and they are ALL solid and great drummers with a style, mystique, uniqueness and direction all of their own (Copeland is amazing with his syncopation).
Bun is all of these things, but perhaps in a more subdued and humble way. (Not that the above-mentioned are not humble; I'm just saying that Bun is quite introverted). Cheap Trick hail from Rockford, Illinois -- did WXRT play them much?
No, The Loop would have done that -- it was the (and a very good) Pop station.
WXRT was "alternative" in the purest, best, late '70's sense of the word. At least it was to my teenage ears.
Yeah, now I'm old enough to wonder what Gil Scott Herrin was really trying to say, for example. But exposure to non-mainstream music and ideas just didn't seem as toxic back in the day. And I really think it wasn't.
