Limp Bizkit have blazed a trail for themselves like few other bands of the 1990s. Armed with their Three Dollar Bill, Y’all$ debut, the band were unafraid to perform for any crowd, anywhere, at any time. The band could be seen on MTV, rocking the beach on the network’s “Spring Break” edition of Fashionably Loud.

For the band – including guitarist Wes Borland, drummer John Otto, bassist Sam Rivers, and turntable-man DJ Lethal — Significant Other is the album that will dispel the doubters and silence the skeptical. It’s a collection of songs that Limp Bizkit say that they learned to write from playing to audiences around the world, watching their fans in action. “The title refers to male-female relationships, of course,” says Wes Borland. “But it also refers to this record as our ’significant other’. This is the record that we’ve wanted to make since we started this band.”

Cheap Trick is an American rock band from Rockford, Illinois, that gained popularity in the late 1970s. The band consists of Robin Zander (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Rick Nielsen (lead & rhythm guitars), Tom Petersson (bass), and Bun E. Carlos (drums). Though they have had only brief flirtations with mainstream success, Cheap Trick has held a substantial following through regular touring and a hard-edged yet blissful pop sound that combines the tunefulness of The Beatles with the speed and energy of punk rock. The band’s biggest hits over the years include “I Want You to Want Me”, “Surrender”, “Dream Police”, “Don’t Be Cruel” (a cover of Elvis’ hit), and “The Flame”. Their most recent release, Rockford, has gained critical acclaim
