A member of the '80s cult band Big Black and later one of the most visible producers in the alternative rock underground, Steve Albini came to reflect better than anyone else the defining values of college rock -- a fierce sense of independence and complete refusal to be affected by major labels or album sales. Raised in the Chicago area, Albini wrote for fanzines between listening to hometown heroes Cheap Trick and funk bands like the Ohio Players. In 1982, he formed the first edition of Big Black -- himself -- to record an EP, Lungs.
