U2popscumbo and GAF and IYS are all fans, so they will say "yes", quite emphatically.
Me, I'll say that because of two of the three aforementioned interlanders, I really tried to get into them, but, just could not. I loved the music, and usually the lyrics, but the "singer" just did not do it for me......I see why they'd be appealing, but, they just do not do it for me.

Anybody here into Big Star?
I'm finally getting around to listening to the #1 Record/Radio City set, and definitely digging it at the moment. Great riffs, fun songs, good times.

I like the new Hold Steady record but would like to hear some other of their stuff before deciding whether they get an overall as well.

You'll also want to pick up Third/Sister Lovers at some point. Great shit on there.
And not sure if you've listened to The Replacements before, but Big Star was a HUGE influence on them, and they even went so far as to write a song called "Alex Chilton".
The "Fuck you, MTV" video:

Children by the millions sing for Alex Chilton.....
Love that album, song, etc....
"Cerebral rape and pillage in a village of his choice.
Invisible man who can sing in a visible voice.
Feeling like a hundred bucks, exchanging good lucks face to face.
Checkin' his stash by the trash at St. Mark's place."
This song got me into Big Star. That's how shit works sometimes, yo.

I'm not going to lie, I love that song. Have you ever heard Face To Face's cover of it? The audio quality on this Youtube clip of it is kinda crappy, but the cover itself is good stuff.

I love that song, too, and no other song by them. I think the lead singer passed away a few years ago.
I have never heard the cover version, but I now hit "play".

I fucking love the Replacements, and now Big Star. There weren't very many 80's rock records that surpass Let It Be IMO.

I prefer Pleased to Meet Me, but I can get behind the sentiment.
And I'm pretty sure the Big Country guy killed himself. Probably when he found out that college basketball player had stolen the name of his band.

I really dig this one as well, nothing else off Modern Guilt really does anything for me at the moment but I keep listening anyhow...

A) Pleased to Meet Me >>> Let It Be
B) Bryant Reeves
When Craig Kilborn was still at Sports Center, if he ever did a highlight with Reeves, he'd work in the fact that in a Big Country, dreams stay with you.

London Calling has probably cracked my top ten favorite albums list, gang.

I think I'm going to continue going through new albums till summer's end, and then spend the first few school months re-listening to these albums to get a better idea of how much I like them.

I approve of that sort of "cracking".
Would you approve if X&Y, a cracking album by a cracking band, cracked any kind of top ten list, though?

I'm listening to Soundgarden's Superunknown album right now. It's heavy. Matt Cameron is the drummer. He rocks. It rocks. The guitar player sounds like he's probably lived a dark and miserable existence. Chris Cornell screams like a banshee sometimes.
I like it.

I like how you give everyone a heads up on Cameron being the drummer.
This album does rock, though. The title track makes me want to bang my head against things.
