For me it is Taylor Swifts The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology. Definitely set out a lot of time if you want to hear the whole thing. I enjoyed it like the rest of her music, but it is probably the most more for Taylor Swift devotees album she has done. There are quite a few good songs, but overlong due to not deviating much from the same sound. She spills out all her thoughts making for some awkward lyrics. But worth buying if you like her music.

(2,992 posts)I almost waited on her once. She was due for a private lunch with the head of the now-defunct Harmony House records here in Michigan. I had the private dining room all set up for the luncheon. Basia had to cancel at the last minute. I was so disappointed. I brought my album for her to sign.

So sorry you didn't get to meet her!

(10,239 posts)after watching her Eras Tour concert on Disney+, I was pretty impressed with her and thought I'd give it a listen.
Her songs are very "lyric-y" so I'm glad the videos she posts include the words, because they can be hard for my old ears to pick up. IMO she has a very evocative, literate, and clever way with words for the most part, although I do agree about the occasional awkwardness, also that there isn't much deviation from the same overall sound. Still very impressive work overall.

If you get a chance to catch this tour - do it. Crazy Horse sounds epic as usual and he played a lot of deeper cuts.

Not their best, but has some interesting spots.

As kids we had a Weavers songbook, and a Pete Seeger record. Songs like The Dust Storm and The Devil and the Farmers Wife were a part of my musical upbringing.

One of the most enjoyable experiences I've had listening to a whole album was sometime in the 80s when I was driving from Los Angeles to the SF Bay Area on highway 5. It's a long, straight boring drive for hours through the central valley. I put Quadrophenia in the cassette deck and listened to the whole thing. It was nighttime which gave it a different ambiance.

All good tunes, especially Scarlet Begonias and Eyes of the World.

(17,298 posts)I'm very annoyed that neither the orchestra nor the conductor was credited on the video, but I guess it qualifies, because at 35 minutes in length, the 5th would take up both sides of an LP if I were still using LPs.
