The Divine Comedy - Casanova (1996)

Given the name of this band, the title of the album, and the cover photo, I get the feeling I'm in for some pretentious Warhol-esque bullshit on the level of The Velvet Underground. The only saving grace is the year the album was released. 1996 wasn't exactly the height of pretentiousness unless you were a grunge band writing songs about teen suicide. So I'm hoping Casanova leans more in the direction of say Rufus Wainwright when it comes to high art. That's assuming The Divine Comedy is a high-art type of act and not just some crappy grunge band. I honestly have no clue what this is going to be.

Electric Light Orchestra - Out Of The Blue (1977)

ELO, or the Electric Light Orchestra as they honestly thought anyone would write out, has two songs everyone knows- an instrumental called "Fire On High" and that song where they really don't want Bruce to upset them. Apparently they wrote entire albums of music that might be worth listening to. Or maybe just one in the case of my Big List. Or maybe none, depending on how I feel about it.
