"Thirteen" is a song by the American rock band #BigStar. #RollingStone describes it "one of rock's most beautiful celebrations of adolescence", and rated it #396 on their list of the 500 greatest songs of all time. It was written by #AlexChilton and #ChrisBell. #BillJanovitz of #BuffaloTom writes in his #AllMusic review of the song, "There are few songs that capture the aching innocence of adolescence as well" and calls it a "perfect melancholy ballad".

My brain says #ChrisBell’s “I am the Cosmos” is better than every #BigStar release. The song itself is one of the greatest ever.

THE BOX TOPS
The Letter / Neon Rainbow
1967 Canada MONO pressing

It’s hard to believe that Alex Chilton was only 17 when this The Box Tops record came out.

And although this album is awesome, I don’t think anybody could have seen Big Star coming.

“The Letter” is one of the most perfect songs ever recorded. In one song, it takes The Box Tops less than two minutes to say what it took bands like The Grateful Dead 17 hours to NOT say.

This was the only record that Bill Cunningham and Danny Smythe were ever on, and their work is exemplary, particularly Cunningham’s bass and backing vocals.
The two of them were gone and replaced the very next year.

A gem of an album, but it’s all about “The Letter”.
