I don’t even have to think about this – the live version of “Holocaust” from that “One Day in New York” record. It’s audacious and beautiful in the studio, but a revelation live. He pulls it off, scale intact, but creepier for it’s intimacy. Do I even have to mention his guitar playing on this one?

My fave has to be “Back Of A Car”. It takes me back to my high school days of fun and mild debauchery. When did we grow up so fast…?

Mine is the Teenage Fanclub cover of “Free Again”. TFC are totally under Chilton’s spell, even naming their third/fourth album “Thirteen” in homage to Big Star. Not to mention their version of “Jesus Christ”…

I loved the Ballad of El Goodo on the Empire Records soundtrack and was so excited when I found out it was Big Star.
