Rolling Stone's 434th greatest album of all time (474th in the 2020 list)
My second time listening to Big Star (an act I had never heard of a few days ago) was better than the first. The songs here are much better than the "Third" album, most notably "Thirteen", which I had heard before somewhere. The singer's voice reminds me of a Scottish band, El Presidente, being part whine, part singing. Good 70s folk-rock.

Rolling Stone's 405th greatest album of all time
This is my third experience of a Big Star album, a band I had never heard of before I started working my way through Rolling Stone's top 500 albums. This was by far the best of those three, being good quality typical 70s rock songs. Reminiscent of the Eagles and Jackson Browne at times, the odd Bowie hint here and there. A really enjoyable listen.

"I saw him on the Jay Leno show, and I thought 'wow, this is a good band'. It was like the Kings of Leon, southern rock, and he came on with that thing and I thought 'I wonder where this kid's from, he must be from the South somewhere'. And then when Jay Leno says 'that was great', Paolo says [adopts Scottish accent] 'thank you very much', and I thought 'he's fucking Scottish!' So it's great, but the album he did as well, that's great. I play that - there's so many great things on there. Again, it's fresh, it's different from other things, so I hope he can come up with more, because he writes as well. And Ethan John [Jones's producer for Spirit In The Room] produced the album, which I didn't know, when I heard the album. There's a jazz band thing, a traditional jazz band thing. 'Simple Things In Life', I like that, about going round to his mother's for tea, it's great. He paints a picture, you can see him do it."
