Big Star - Radio City

Big Star, considered one of the founders of power pop, has been cited as an influence by many major alternative bands of the '80s and '90s, and continues to be a powerful presence in today's music landscape.

Artists such as R.E.M., Teenage Fan Club, The Replacements (who wrote the famous song “ Alex Chilton ") And Wilco all enthusiastically praise the group's artistic impact. Mike Mills remembers Big Star as "a band that had it all figured out, that made records that sounded like rock bands should sound." A group that wrote all the songs, from straight-up rockers to heartbreakingly beautiful ballads that were still somehow rock songs. »

Radio City is Big Star's second album. Released in 1974, Radio City understand " September Gurls " And " Back of a Car » which remain among Big Star's most famous songs.

The legacy of Radio City far surpassed the original commercial failures of the album, which is now considered a milestone in rock history by critics and musicians. Radio City And #1 Record have both been featured in the 500 “Greatest Albums of All Time” lists by Rolling Stone, while titles from each album (“ Thirteen " And " September Gurls ") are also among the magazine's 500 "greatest songs of all time."
