The song that invented Teenage Fanclub, and for that alone I am truly grateful. I love this.
maybe not as strong a desperado song as others but still makes me get all nostalgic inside...have been known to play on repeat

I take no responsibility for that graphic! This song, for me, is the sound of summer. Don't know why. Discovered Big Star via The Replacements and almost got to meet Alex Chiton in Memphis - long story but I worked with his sister. Short story is that this song is a little bit of pop magic.

My birthday song--but I can't wait til September! I also recommend the Bangles cover: surprisingly good.
