Cheap Trick - "The Flame"

"The Flame" from Cheap Trick was the first and would be the last entry from the rock band on the Adult Contemporary Chart.  It happened in 1988 and the power ballad was a song the band reportedly hated.  The song shot to #1 on the Hot 100, but only peaked in the top 30 on the AC Chart.

Chicago - "Wishing You Were Here"


On April 8th, the band Chicago joins Cheap Trick, N.W.A., Deep Purple, and Steve Miller as performers at the Rock 'n Roll Induction Ceremony. None of the current members of the band Chicago will be wishing that Peter Cetera was there as Cetera twice has bailed on re-joining his old bandmates for this special once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Bruised egos, ill feelings, and past issues are apparently too difficult for some to put aside despite receiving one of the highest honors in the music business. Godspeed.
