- C - Cheap Trick, Cheetah, Cinderella

Formed in 1973 Cheap Trick really made their mark with the classic Cheap Trick at Budokan originally released as a limited edition yellow vinyl edition in 1978. It took some 15 years for the second part of this landmark set to appear on cd and now the whole lot is available as At Budokan: 30th Anniversary Collector's Edition [Box Set] 3 cd's containing the complete concert plus a dvd.

Other classic Cheap Trick discs to pick up are Dream Police and back to form Latest which was given away free at the time of release with Classic Rock Magazine.

Almost forgot about Cheetah, Cheetah Rock & Roll Women 1981 UK vinyl LP EPC85522 I'm not even sure if this Australian debut was ever released on CD but these girls delivered an ac/dc inspired album that definately needs a listen (if you can find it).

Moving back to the States and the Hair Metal league; comes Cinderella. Touching on the more melodic side of rock, Long Cold Winter+ includes Gypsy Rose and title track Long Cold Winter.
