Big Star were totally unfashionable in their day -- early Seventies Memphis rockers inspired by Sixties British Invasion pop. A non-hit from the band's second LP, Radio City, "September Gurls" is now revered as a power-pop classic. "They were fairly dark records wrapped in a pop package," drummer Jody Stephens said of Big Star's now-adored catalog. "Maybe that's what's made them enduring."
