Chris Bell-I am the Cosmos

 Pure tortured beauty. Chris Bell is a former member of the undersung 70's pop group Big Star. This is his only solo album and was released in 1992, 14 years after his death. This album is critically acclaimed and the title track has been covered by several notable artists (I enjoy This Mortal Coil's cover the most) but more importantly it is fantastic. Simply cannot be recommended highly enough for fans of pop music with a twinge of sadness.
