Big Star: I'm In Love With A Girl

[purchase]

On Wednesday, Loudersoft suggested Big Star as a place to look for folks who want more stuff like the Emitt Rhodes track. We couldn't agree more. So here is a taste of Big Star. If you don't have the Big Star two-fer, which has their first two records on one CD, you need to get it in your collection ASAP. It's an incredibly influential and fun album.

i dont think there is a proto-typical indie rock band out there today that isnt copping big star in some kinda way.

I finally picked up this album after years of putting it off. I've been listening to #1 Record nearly nonstop since I bought it a few months ago.

I like this song a lot, but my favorite is probably "Back Of A Car". Great choice nonetheless.

Wow, Thanks for all the great comments. Looks like the collaborative blog idea just might work.

Great pair of albums... a stellar deal on a single disc, too.

Thanks for the Pogues yesterday, by the way.

I'll definitely be stopping back.
