Kirk Posted July 9, 2021 Report Share Posted July 9, 2021 I thought he might be playing devil's advocate and was really paying the band a compliment, but I think he might be serious, however misguided! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman Posted July 9, 2021 Report Share Posted July 9, 2021 Once the writer stated that Big Star was " a band as good as the Beatles", I knew it was satire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinnie B Trask Posted July 10, 2021 Report Share Posted July 10, 2021 I did not look at the article but the Raspberries are underrated. There are many out there that do not know who the Raspberries are. Then there are those who consider them a one hit wonder. Neither is the case. They had their share of solid tunes that were well produced and well recorded for its time. Its true that their influences are very obvious but they utilized their influence to create their own sound. If Eric carmen is your lead vocalist you are already a rock solid contender!!

WC1215 Posted July 11, 2021 Report Share Posted July 11, 2021 This guy is in his 40s according to the search I did. He would have been in his 30s or late 20s when he wrote this so I don't place any value on his opinion. I was there before Raspberries (Mods, Choir, Cyrus Erie, Quick). For whatever reason Cleveland critics past and present never got it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim L Posted July 11, 2021 Report Share Posted July 11, 2021 Why would he write it its all over the place. And the opening was very strange 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhawkpat Posted July 14, 2021 Report Share Posted July 14, 2021 Bwahaha “ The band can’t touch big star“???? Thanks I needed a laugh to start my day! I like how he refers to the band wearing “disco suits” in 1973, A few years before disco, so wait, is he saying raspberries started the disco movement too? Another influence by the band apparently! Keep helping the cause, Junior. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
