I recently watched the 2012 Big Star documentary, Big Star: Nothing Can Hurt Me. I have to say that up until seeing this, I had almost no knowledge of Alex Chilton and Chris Bell's Memphis band. It was definitely worth watching; albeit somewhat depressing.
After downloading a couple of their records, I discovered of a couple of gems. Make no mistake, these guys weren't hard rockers. They did, though, have a distinct pop rock sound for the time. Here is a song that would later be covered by Cheap Trick and used as the theme to the That 70's Show sitcom.
