Big Star - September Gurls

[TheOldNetminder]

MattHatter: I totally agree. Baffling

[TheNEWfilmfanatic99]

This song is clearly ahead of its time. First time I heard it I thought it came out in the 90s.

[rockypc24]

is that ken stringfellow

[MattHatter]

Gosh, Alex and the guys just jumped into those opening chords no problem and you don't hear one clap or scream or cheer! They all were there to see Big Star, were they not?! And playing THE best power-pop song of all time that they're best known for?!

[parallaxengine]

@MattHatter people probably cant move from chills down their spine!... nah your right, the cheers at the end are hella halfhearted

[saguaroboy]

@MattHatter Man, that's the first thing I noticed. I know I regret never seeing them live. Now these douches are mentioning it every time they can.

[TimmytheGeek2009]

they sound great. wish I saw them in concert. :( RIP Alex. why does this make me so sad? I didn't know the man....or did I?

[SniffyShiza]

We love you and miss you, Alex. RIP.

[cannedpoo]

Please don't tell me that BIG STAR played down the road last year and I missed it! What legends.

[clarkewi]

Great sound. Reminds me of the Byrds.

[bassmanjoe]

@clarkewi Badfinger,Raspberries also. Love this sound!!

[wehideandseek]

What an anthem to autumnal love. This song is pure love poetry. Well, nevermind, indeed.

[edditude09]

Almost sounds like Michael Steele.

[TimmytheGeek2009]

@edditude09

LOL

[ziffels]

Is Big Star touring - really? You'd HAVE TO see them given the chance, right?

[palmerstonian]

What a dead audience. That's Bedfordshire for you!

[treblam2]

forget The Posies?

[A11ce]

I was there! They were awesome x

[KCVROCKS2008]

the bangles did a very good version of this also.

[brasilsweet]

great song,thanks

[Stilltouchinyourtitt]

One of the greatest power-pop songs, by one of the greatest bands, ever.

[seanie002]

possibly THE greateast?

[hprdg284]

Teenage Fanclub is a close second, I'd say. And Cheap Trick.

[raponte1955]

IMHO, power pop greatest bands are: (1) Teenage Fanclub (2) Big Star (3) Badfinger (4) Raspberries.....mmmm, don't know about Cheap Trick, they're good but not great....

[TBCBPteamBD]

And don't forget The Shazam amongst your list - an awesome band!

[teenagelobotomy14]
