Big Star – Thirteen (1972)

With a hundred plus posts already logged, I am scratching my head as to how I haven’t yet got a Big Star track in here.

My remedy? Two Big Star songs back to back.

This is simply timeless music. Alex Chilton and Chris Bell penning a sublime paean to adolesence.

I defy you not add this to your own list of the best records of all time.

The original album track then a live version from 2009 (the year before Alex Chilton died).
