Trivia Time:

1. What successful band was Alex Chilton in prior to Big Star?

The Box Tops
I only know that because I saw a screening of a new documentary out this summer on Big Star. I did know the name Alex Chilton before I ever heard Big Star, though, because he produced the first two Cramps albums (well, EP and album).
