Obviously, Smith does not have the place in music history that Lennon does. That goes without saying. Lennon was transformative in a way no other rock musician could ever be. That said, from a purely singer/songwriter standpoint, Smith is my favorite I think.

I learned about Big Star via Elliott, because he was such a big fan.

He was definitely a great songwriter. I didn't realize you were such a big fan.
