Rather touchingly, Nielsen himself said that the acclaim of musicians who were a generation younger than Cheap Trick acted as a "wake-up call", prompting the band to realize that they didn't have to do what the industry told them to do and that they still had something to offer.

* CreatorBacklash: Some of the members didn't care much for ''The Doctor''; Bun E. Carlos in particular has said it was rushed and rife with ExecutiveMeddling (the label kept demanding more keyboards and digital drums), and "Kiss Me Red" in particular was so hated by the band that they only played it live once. That being said, Rick Nielsen has said he still really likes the album, and both "Take Me to the Top" and "It's Only Love" are still regularly played live.

** When making the 1988 album ''Lap of Luxury'', the record company brought in two power ballad demos for the band to chose to put on the album.
