100 Unhip Albums: That We Should Learn to Love by by Ian Moss
Eshewing albums like Revolver, Pet Sounds, What's Going On, London Calling, Blonde on Blonde, Kind of Blue, along with the many other classic titles that routinely get lauded by critical consensus in Greatest Albums lists, Ian Moss makes it his mission to highlight unloved records that generally languish in relative neglect and obscurity.
That I already own and like many of the artists and albums that Ian Keith Moss praises make me squarely amongst the target audience. It's a great selection, all with compelling reasons to give his choices a listen. If you are receptive to arguments to embrace the lesser known and less fashionable works by the likes of Vic Godard, Love, Mungo Jerrry, Bread, David Essex, Pulp, 10cc, Barry White, The Mekons, Imagination, ELO, The Carpenters, Queen, Abba, Bill Withers, Gilbert O'Sullivan then you will doubtless find much to enjoy and inspire.
Unsurprisingly I didn't agree with all his opinions however whatever my feelings I really enjoyed Ian Moss's passion and ecleticism.
4/5
