What are you listening to?

Pink Floyd...The one about the eclipse

Taylor Swift. Dead Poet's Society, or whatever it's called.

yeah...no. I started listening to this. Thought it was Ok, at first, but by the time I got to like track 10 of the 31 it was a bit chalkboard scratching. 

I appreciate what she does. She's obviously very talented and has a good sense of the business, but I'd rather listen to Lana Del Rey over her any day.

Mott the Hoople - Mott (1973)

From what I've read, a lot of people wondered if Mott could survive without David Bowie.  They did, and came back with an even better album than "All the Young Dudes."  I'd put this as one of the masterpieces of Glam (admittedly not a huge category) along with "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust" and "Electric Warrior."  They couldn't survive success, though, and Mick Ralphs would leave to form Bad Company after this album.  Ian Hunter would go solo shortly thereafter. 

It seems like there shouldn't be so many songs about loss innocence and regret after just one successful album (All the Way to Memphis, The Ballad of Mott the Hoople); but that is what Ian Hunter did best.
