Big Star: “September Gurls” (1974)
From Radio City, Big Star’s second album. The ill-fated band led by Alex Chilton (The Box Tops) and Chris Bell were already crumbling here, and record distribution problems didn’t help matters. If talent alone dictated such things, they might have been big stars indeed. But instead their 3 album output was fated for cult classic status, revered and often covered by other musicians but never racking up the sales numbers the music deserved.
