Big Star
THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME, we're talking Big Star, a band that if you're into - YOU'RE INTO. This album's a masterpiece (they have three of 'em btw), contains the finest song ever written (Thirteen) and along with The Velvet Underground essentially invented indie music (lets argue). There's not a minute on this record that isn't a pure joy, the chimes of those guitar, the charisma of Alex Chilton, the tortured soul of Chris Bell and even the 'India Song' acts as the perfect kind of throwaway album track. Drop me an email if you wanna talk Big Star.
