Big Star
Comment:
Contemporaries like Badfinger and the Raspberries may have scored the hits, but the sometimes shattered, sometimes sunny songs of writers Alex Chilton and Chris Bell earn Big Star pop-rock luminary status. You may recognize the strummed, summertime perfection of "September Gurls" or the stoner-pop rocker "In the Street" (a.k.a. [i]That 70's Show[/i] theme). But these Memphians aren't just simple purveyors of jangle-pop; their curveball LP [i]Third/Sister Lovers[/i] introduced layers of psychotic aural despair to their mythology. Listen to "Holocaust" and see if you don't feel chewed up inside. Big Star's cult-to-classic arc puts them at the head of the power pop class.
