A song from the 1970s that you like or means something to you.

This album has such a solid, 1973 sound. Notable for all the artists who were influenced by Alex Chilton and Big Star. I know a lot of bands have covered this song in particular. I love the vocals on this track and especially the little guitar riff at the end.
