Big Star: “September Gurls”
Oh, Big Star. Only you can make me simultaneously joyous, melancholy, energetic, nostalgic, romantic and somber. And that’s just during the guitar solos of “September Gurls”. Most bands couldn’t make me feel even one of these things. Yet you can. You even went so far as to create an album so intensely powerful that it rattles me everytime I listen to it. This is why I love you.
(Really, really, really looking forward to Bruce Eaton’s book on Radio City for 33 1/3.)
