I know this album very well. Dead Flowers brought me to it. For the longest time, I was a stalwart of it is the only one worth listening to. The remaster of Exiles changed that opinion for me and opened up the rest of their catalog outside of the greatest hits.

Modern Life Is Rubbish
Blur
This is an album I don't know. I have spent some time with Parklife and Self Titled. I've also really enjoyed Gorillaz and some of Albarn's production over the years (looking at you Bobby Womack). Looking forward to spending some time with this.
Starts off with a heavy nod to Bowie. That's a great way to start. In fact, the album does have a sort of lineage of the British Pop history feel to it - which is apropos given the title of the album.
This is a fun album, you can see why they became a big deal.

I'm not entirely sure I have spent much time with this album. I remember it being quite well thought of on release. I remember liking the singles, but not sure I ever gave it a full listen...
It's definitely a 90s album. It's pretty cool, but I'm probably gonna reach for Portishead when I want the moody atmospheric pop lushness. I'm sure it would benefit greatly from a headphone listen.

Carpenters
One would think that the sound of the Carpenters would be from meticulous plodding in the studio for perfection. However, this was thrown together to capitilize on the strength of the title tracks release and success as a single. It also happens to be their best album. Sometimes inspiration is more important than perfection and can lead to the second without all the planning.

I know it is fun to hate on these guys, but their first two albums - this being the second are really good.

Eli And The Thirteenth Confession
Laura Nyro
Hey, it's a record I own that I haven't spent enough time with. Guess I'll get on that!
There are a lot of great songs here. Many made famous by others, notable Three Dog Night and The 5th Dimension.
She deserves kudos as a songwriter, as a singer, she is not the greatest either as an interpreter or a powerhouse vocal. She's nice which is probably why I haven't spent more time with this album which is just nice. Nothing wrong with that but I'm probably gonna reach for other things instead.
As a digger though, it is an important historical document of both her songs and her style as well as an early entrant in the singer-songwriter craze that would become a force just a few years after this album hit transforming the whole greenwich folk thing into a money maker for the powers that be.

An album I'm not familiar with from a band that I have a basic knowledge of.
The middle third of the album feels like nothing but filler. The first and final third are worthy of your time. In fact the final third is outstanding.
There is protothrash here and moody sludge and radio friendly hair metal, pretty much the next ten years of hard rock radio laid out as a template for everyone to use.
I think I would have included Screaming for Vengeance instead.

I think my feelings on this album can pretty much be summed up by the one two punch of Prom followed by The Weekend.
Prom is just crushing lyrically. It’s an inventive sounding song, good, that is performed by a very capable singer.
The Weekend is everything about some pop music that I don’t like. It is overwrought in its current sound landscape and the lyrics are a worldview that is not only foreign to me but also somewhat repugnant. It’s also sung by a singer wanting to sound current and full of runs that don’t elevate the music.
I fully like half the album and fully hate the other half.

Abbey Road
Beatles
This is their masterpiece. A last hurrah after the debacle of Let It Be - whatever revisionism is present in the Jackson film, that album and its sessions were a band clearly devolving and that had grown apart. You even see the artifice of an assignment to stimulate some of the old magic with an unrealistic timeline that would have been a breeze for the fab four in their most prolific younger days. It's clear that Martin pulled them up by the ears and said try again lads.
The result is a perfect record. I don't even hate Maxwell's Silver Hammer as is the in thing to do. While its subject matter is bizarre, it is not alone in their catalog in either weird lyrical themes or as evil drugged out circus music. Harrison is given some shining moments and Ringo even gets to be a bit creative here.
The side B suite is one of the most amazing things ever done in popular music. It is simply a bar that has seldom been even reached at much less accomplished.
It is the best album by the most influential group of all time. It is a joy to listen to each and every time.

Younger Than Yesterday
The Byrds
I got this CD on sale about 8 years ago just before I got back into vinyl. I ended up with a copy of Mr. Tambourine Man as well. The Byrds were sort of an unknown to me. My younger brother was a fan. He also dug other bands that took me a while to get, like Radiohead and The Beach Boys. He also like bands I never got into like Toad the Wet Sprocket.
To me, the Byrds weren't the band that had David Crosby and Roger Mcguinn and gave us the gift of Chris Hillman and Graham Parsons or Gene Clark. I didn't know all of this until later.
To me, they were a pop outfit that mostly did safe covers of Dylan. An electric version of Peter, Paul and Mary.
Mr. Tambourine Man didn't really do anything to dispel that feeling. But this album with its lush baroque psychedelia changed my feeling about them and led me to explore the rest of their catalog discovering that Crosby and those guys mentioned above were in the band and eventually arriving at Sweethearts and Notorious Byrd Brothers and really becoming smitten with the band.
If only my brother didn't make weird choices with music like falling in love with stuff like Me Phi Me so that he was a more consistent source of quality listens for me.

Well his politics are starting to show and he was clearly always insufferable. Like Tomorrow's repeated plea "TELL ME THAT YOU LOVE ME." Nah, bro, it's cool you love yourself more than enough for the rest of the world.
here's the thing though, it is a great voice that finds odd ways around the instrumentation behind him and Ronson and the Smith's like band produce a very appealing Glam sound. The problem is Morrissey.
I could listen to this all day long if it all didn't start to become distasteful around the end of "We'll Let You Know" peaking at a feverish rate with "We Hate It..."
Such talent wasted. ugh.
At least other seemingly insufferable front men like Sting and Bono aren't showcasing the worst of humanity. And while Father John Misty may (I italicize because I am incredulous) be doing it all as a show, it is clear now that there was no facade or affectation here, Morrissey was telling us all about himself.
He's clever. He's talented. He's also the worst of us.

Taylor Swift
I haven't listened to this in a while. My daughter was a Swift fan. I had heard Fearless and Speak Now, but didn't think much of her. It wasn't really country that spoke to me and I, still to this day, find her songwriting to be trite and ego-centric. However, this album, specifically Ryan Adam's version of it, got me to rethink Swift. Like I said, her lyrics still don't really speak to me, but I've come to enjoy her pop confectionery and even embrace her ability to make self-centeredness seem okay. I really came on board with those albums that folks from The National helped with, but this was the point where it becomes unsuprising that I have four of her records on vinyl now. This is the other one I really want and will buy her version when it shows up.
