Then how about an "Alex Chilton" thread?

Obviously his 30 years of solo work wasn't all that important considering a thread wasn't made about him until AFTER his death. No offense to the man, I like Big Star and it sucks he's dead, I'm just pointing out the fact that it was compelling to make a thread for him only after he died, not on the merit of his work.

Just because there isn't a thread doesn't mean they've not been talked about.

I've mentioned his solo stuff on several occasions. There wasn't a Sparklehorse thread either until Mark Linkous died but they've been mentioned on this forum loads of times.

I don't really see what the point of having some extended discussion about starting threads about people who don't already have one, especially in a thread like this where people who enjoyed his music would like to pay tribute to the man.

I only have the first Big Star album, but it's really sad to hear. RIP Alex, your inspiration lives on.

It doesn't have anything to do with starting threads for people who don't have one. It's about starting threads about people who died, which doesn't really attract musical discussion and criticism, just praise for their work and invariably dies out within a matter of days. So really, the Sparklehorse example isn't applicable to this instance.

Obviously you and I don't see eye to eye on this and that's fine, I was merely raising a point.

Rest in peace. The man t'was a good musician.

It's melancholic, somewhat cool, and interesting all at the same time for my first post to be honoring a great musician. I'm O.K. with this.

Alex Chilton RIP

Anyone who was involved with The Box Tops and The Cramps deserves all the praise and admiration the world can ever offer.

A beautiful man and a marvellous musical mind

This journal has long been forgotten, but it covers Alex Chilton's work with The Cramps
