Sorry--I meant "the mid-70s."

[ChunkWheeler]

Idjits! Big Star was a critically lauded but failed band in the mid-90s. Led by Alex Chilton--the guy in white--who, as a teenager, was the lead singer for the Boxtops, which had such hits as "The Letter." He's pretty terrific. Saw him live maybe five years ago. Eccentric, difficult, brilliant.

are you fucking crazy? Or just very ignorant?oh ok mid 70's sorry .but failed come on!

[rcp62]

You're basically correct about Alex Chilton and Big Star, but Big Star was formed and around back in the early to mid 70's. Chliton has played with other band members from the Posies, etc... and these gigs were during the 90's .
