{"title":"Raspberries","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Raspberries were an American rock band formed in 1970, known for their power pop music style. The band was led by Eric Carmen, who became notable for his songwriting and vocal skills. The Raspberries are best remembered for their hit single \"Go All the Way,\" which helped to define the power pop genre with its strong melodies, lush harmonies, and driving guitar riffs. Despite their short-lived existence, ending in 1975, the band's influence can be heard in later pop and rock bands, underlining their significance in music history.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"lets-pretend-every-way-i-can","title":"Let's Pretend\/ Every Way I Can","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe great A side is specially edited from a 3:42 album track.

Consider, for example, that this single and its predecessor, \"Go All The Way,\" were roughly contemporary with the first Big Star LP and singles.  And if you listen to this song and a Big Star masterpiece like \"September Gurls\" in the same sitting, it's clear that Alex Chilton and Eric Carmen were soulmates in sound.  So don't be afraid to reminisce about being a teenager again as you listen to this blissful sexual daydream... it's one of the best ever recorded!
