Again, as I say, I'm not actively looking for punk bands. I don't have too much interest in getting into that style of music. If I come across an album I don't hate then fine, but I am not looking for recs for punk bands. I can't honestly say I liked Slayer but I learned through that experience not to hate them, or just dismiss them out of hand. That's about the best I can say.

Title: #1 Record Artiste: Big Star Genre: Power Pop Love 1. The kind of Country feel to “Ballad of El Goodo” 2. Nice kind of West Coast feel overall 3. Acoustic ballad “Thirteen” is really nice then “Don't lie to me” is a real enthusiastic rocker somewhat in the mould of Sweet. Sweet! 4. I hear The Eagles, Simon and Garfunkel, Bread, and a lot of other good influences here 5. “Give me another chance” is a lovely ballad 6. “Try again” is an even better one Hate Nothing. End result: I can't believe this album sunk without a trace. Ten thousand ****ing copies? Stupid ****s of marketing amateurs. This should have been huge. Enjoyed every track. So, Love or Hate? What do you think? Love of course, and lots of it. Chances of a full review: 9/10

Didn't we all try really hard to get you to listen to Big Star in the "Classic albums I've never heard"? :P Or at least one of your journals. Anyway their other albums are also excellent, and imo Third / Sister Lovers is even better than #1 Record.

Is it because you don't like them or think all their albums are the same?
Third sounds a lot different to #1 Record to me

I like them all from what I remember. But they aren't a band I personally think is worth listening to all that much. Just listen to one or two, enjoy them, and find something more interesting.

Incorrect. I'm sure I'll listen to more. And if this is power pop then I want more please. As per my post a few days back, I'm not accepting any new album suggestions till I get a little way through the current list. I'll leave it here but won't add it to the list till I decide to start putting more on it. Thanks.
