" September Gurls " , Borack wrote , " was and is the sine qua non of power pop , a glorious , glittering jewel with every facet cut and shined to absolute perfection .... a peerless , aching distillation of love and longing . ' September Gurls ' may not actually be the greatest song ever recorded , but for the duration of its 2 : 47 running time , you can be forgiven for believing it is . " The 1987 tribute song " Alex Chilton " , co @-@ written by three members of the Replacements , was released as a single from the album Pleased to Meet Me and contains the lyric " I never travel far without a little Big Star .
