  • Summary

  • The Raspberries exploded out of Cleveland and on the music scene in April 1972 with their self-titled debut – just 4 months before Big Star released #1 Record.  While the bands and the debut albums share some similarities in sound, there are also some very distinct differences.  For one, Raspberries had some instant success in both album sales and with a hit single while Big Star famously never got out of the gate commercially.  In the end, Raspberries were a short-lived and almost forgotten band on the music landscape. But much like their power pop brethren Big Star, they have influenced tons of bands in the years following their breakup.  Raspberries were either a little ahead of their time or maybe behind the times with their syrupy sweet sound but they live on as one of the freshest sounding bands of the Power Pop genre.
