And then you have the soundtrack songs.

Up The Creek

Mighty Wings from Top Gun

Don't feel compelled to like anyone, it's okay to not get/like The Trick.
All you can do is listen to the rest of their tunes and decide whether you like 'em or not. I', puzzled why you feel the "need" to be convinced?!?

They are just cheesy good time rock and roll wth catchy riffs. If you weren't a child of the 70s the nostalgia doesn't factor in... so why try? Think of guys with big combs in their tight jeans pockets driving muscle cars wearing feathered hair? If Surrender doesn't grab you - don't bother trying the rest really.

Go check out Trick on June 28th as they perform the Sgt. Pepper's album in its entirety at the Hollywood Bowl. Last summer, Trick sold out two performances at the HB and blew everyone away. So, they've been invited back again to recreate the magic. That should convince you how great these guys still are.

And you might want to check out their latest release, Rockford. It was hailed as a terrific album by music critics and fans.
