September Gurls
is the best!
Almost
Kangaroo is one of my favourite songs ever.
Honorable mentions to The Ballad Of El Goodo and Way Out West, and the harmonies at the end of My Life Is Right = spine-tingling
probably
Kangaroo or Holocaust. amazing band.
if you like them you HAVE to check out original member Chris Bell's I Am The Cosmos LP, cos its cosmically ace.
Aye
Better Save Yourself is better than anything he put his name to with Big Star. The album has a cool cover too
i've got it
it is ace your right. I seen big star play at the LA2 (as it was then called) a few years ago and when they played 'I am the cosmos' it was actually really moving. It was the best gig i have ever seen as well.
I'm a big fan of What's Going Ahn
and Thirteen.
I've just got 'third/sister lovers'.
It's quite beautifully crushing.
Yeah, thirteen's a tune...
3rd
is amazing, it's basically the sound of Alex Chilton falling apart.
September Gurls
Is officially my all time favourite song.
Next to Wichitta Lineman,
Thirteen is my favourite ever song. The Wilco version is lovely stuff.
I agree with Lucien and Jamie_Summers
I Am The Cosmos is ace. And Kangaroo scares the shit out of me.
It's all good
Well, except that new album they put out recently.
But September Gurls is great. And #1 Record is pretty much flawless.
i've only heard third/sister lovers
it's one of the most devastating/amazing albums i own, though. massively overlooked
yeah
I only have the first two albums, both are good though. Favourite songs probably Thirteen, The Ballad Of El Goodo, September Girls and Back Of A Car.
Connect
"Big Star", or Chilton and some sycophants, are playing Connect festival in Scotland. I love em and hope it i great but i have a bad feeling it will be awful
I'm mega excited
that a thread about Big Star has got more than 2 replies. They are / were so cool. Third is probably my favourite, but they're all good really. Favourite track has to be "Kangaroo". I may even go and listen to it now.
