Comment:

Giving props where props are due... Listening to #1 Record for the first time in awhile this morning, I could not help but realize how many artists over the past few decades owe some sort of tip of the hat to Alex Chilton, whether it was direct from the source or by way of one of the first generation of artists who claimed Big Star as an influence. Todd Rundgren's "Slut" had to be on here since Big Star covered it at their reunion show. I knew something from #1 Record had to start this, the Bangles' cover of "September Gurls" had to be inserted somewhere, and a certain Replacements song had to end this tribute... everything else here is in relative chronological order and is my somewhat idealized list of artists who show, in some way, a little AC/BS influence.

Great idea, some fantastic stuff here, The Smiths song into the Descendents song might be my favourite. RIP Alex
