Here's some Raspberries love:
On page 26 of the November 2002 issue of MOJO, a full page in the "What Goes On"
section is devoted to proclaiming: "Rebirth of the Cool. Their sharply tailored
powerpop hooks and harmonies have found favour once more. The Raspberries."
The third paragraph asks, "Why are they hot now?" The reply: "Between relative
newcomers like Ben Kweller, Brendan Benson and Arlo, back through Teenage
Fanclub, the Pooh Sticks and the Posies, the immense appeal of perfect pop-
energised guitars, heart-stopping harmonies, and teenage boy/girl lyrics hasn't
faded, but grown stronger. In the same manner that the Strokes once stood apart
for feeling so different from the 'now', the Raspberries were misfits by design.
The payoff? Plop the records on and they sound as contemporary as the day they
were made."
I think the "misfits by design" refers to another part of the story that say the
band "blew a raspberry in the face of hippy excess Tarkus-era prog rock via
short sharp pop hooks, divine harmonies and contextually inappropriate songs
about cars and girls."

The Raspberries included Eric Carmen who had big solo hits with Hungry Eyes (from Dirty Dancing), Make Me Lose Control, & All By Myself (later remade by Celine Dion). They had a few Top 40 hits back in the 70s.
