We're now in the stretch where the Phoenix rises from the ashes to the opening chords of 'O My Soul.'

I wonder what stage in the Big Star progression Tom thinks the show is in.What would the Best Show sound like when it's firmly in the Third era? Are we already there? Don't think I want to hear the talk radio equivalent of "Holocaust."I would enjoy hearing the Best Show when it hits Feudalist Tarts territory though.

I studied in the U.K. in 1994, and the impression I gotwas that they'd been around for about 10-15 years doing a whole lot of nothing before "His 'N Hers" hit.True enough but they had a fair few different line-up and a few different sounds for a lot of that time and not much in the way of critical adoration. In fairness, that I can;t think of a better comparison, so maybe you were on the money with that.Sidebar: Where did you study and have you been back to the UK much since then? Much of it is a lot nicer than back then....

There really isn't anything on those three records that isn't worthy of being a favorite, though.
