Beautiful review.

Yes, it’s definitely the first one. I also looked for Thirteen, but I wasn't satisfied because there are issues. Instead, "I'm in Love with a Girl," which I linked, sounded good and is equally beautiful.

I REM, to name one, but also The Smiths in my opinion.

I apologize, it's the second.

Hi Don, I commented while you were doing it. "#1 Record is nice, but the third one, which isn't often mentioned, is cooler, but a great record as well. The link I posted on Big Star is from the third. Bolan is great."

With Box Tops, he made a pop R&B sound, let's say, easy-listening songs. (Which for me is not a flaw.) With Big Star, the sound changes; just listen to "Feel," which I searched for but wasn't satisfied with the quality. Other songs might remind you of the Byrds because of the way the guitar is used, with the difference that the sound is more powerful. Solo, he changed again, as I wrote: a dirty, suggestive rock with warped melodies, left to marinate in the great belly of rock 'n' roll. I can't find an artist who makes music comparable to his; anyway, not a revivalist rockabilly. The only thing to do is buy it or download it. I've already listened to Levi and the Rockats, really good, also on an image level, which doesn't hurt.

Click, guys, click, and tell everyone that there's the review of Alex Chilton, spread the word, if it wasn't clear, I love this man.

Hi, as I said, I like the Stray Cats, I still have their first vinyl. (I also have the three by Big Star) I wrote that Tav Falco and the Cramps were proof that the rockabilly revival wasn't just about the "Stray Cats" or the "Blasters," to point out that there were different approaches to the revival: the classic style of the Cats and the more original, chilling, punk-influenced style of the Cramps. Tav Falco had an even different approach, "naive" and unrefined, heavily guided by Chilton himself. For me, they are all enjoyable... I would have liked to share more links, but what you find on YouTube is poorly recorded; "Make A Little Love" and "Holocaust" are acceptable and convey the range of emotions present in this collection.

I have almost the entire discography of Bob Dylan, and albums like this are often surprising for the quality of the tracks. For example, The Bootleg Series Rare & Unreleased released in the early '90s are definitely 5-star.

ANDYWARHOL he is not a genius, because very few truly deserve that title. However, "genius" fits him well because if you listen to Big Star, or this collection, you understand that he often shows flashes of brilliance. He is highly respected by both critics and peers, so much so that the Replacements wrote a song called "Alex Chilton." His solo career has been uneven; I would give his albums an average of 3.5, but in each work there's at least one brilliant piece, which is too little. He had alcohol problems, and perhaps it’s his very way of being that didn’t allow him to stand out, or maybe he just didn’t care. He found great success before he was even twenty with the hit "The Letter," which reached number 1 in America and was among the top in England, but aside from that episode, he hasn’t sold much and has always been broke. @GIUSTIZIERE I like Stray Cats too, but there's definitely someone who prefers the Cramps. SEB, the answer is in what I wrote to ANDYWARHOL. In any case, many surely know him on DeBaser; for example, Supersoul wrote a review of one of his albums.
