Any other Big Star fans here? They are easily on of the most under-rated, and unknown, bands ever. Their three albums were all 70s rock masterpieces, with their first, #1 Record, being one of the most prefect mixes of pop and rock ever conceived.

Big Star never really grabbed me as a great act. But they're not a bad band in any sense of the word.

You're obviously a moron. Big Star are one of the very few "perfect" bands.

Why can't Royal constructivley argue? I think that would make music discussions more worthwhile.

Fine, I will constructively aruge. So why is Big Star nothing special? They definitely are special! There music is pack full of hooks, great lyrical summations of life, and the kind of melodic guitar work that millions of bands try and fail to acheive. They are prime example of how to megre genres into something special, taking the Beatles and Byrds and a bunch of other acts from the time and merging all the best aspects. Big Star songs are ones that you fall in love with and never tire of; Paul Westerberg says it best in the Replacements' song, "Alex Chilton" (the lead singer and songwriter of BS), with the lyrics, "I'm in love, what's that song? I'm in love with that song." That is a prefect summation of how a Big Star fan feels about their music.

You don't have to be so shitty about it. I'm merely suggesting that posting "THESE GUYS ARE FUCKING AWESOME" and responding to all dissension with "YOU SHOULD DIE AND JUMP OFF A CLIFF, IDIOT!" is a waste of forum space.

Well, I felt like backing up my Big Star comments, and I did.
