Re: Alex Chilton - RIP Gonna be listening to Big Star, the Box Tops and various spinoffs all day. This news came as a real surprise. Alex left us with a ton of great music.

Re: Alex Chilton - RIP This makes me sad. At least now he can work with Chris Bell again.

Re: Alex Chilton - RIP I'll bet there are still fans of This Mortal Coil who have no idea how much is owed to the Big Star family.

I had no idea they had even covered that song until about a week ago when a customer asked. I listen to The Carbonas on a pretty regular basis here in the store. The second LP "raw deluxe". A great cover, I think most people would agree.

Re: Alex Chilton - RIP It is a loss - Big Star were a hige influence on some of my favorite bands, hence I found out about that way around. Teenage Fanclub's Bandwagonesque is a virtual homage to Alex Chilton and co.

Re: Alex Chilton - RIP I read that Chilton was a big influence early on for REM...
I think it says something that such a diverse list of bands was inspired by him.
