Intelligent Guitar Pop

The list author says:
	"Ridiculously overlooked, and wonderfully great, this indie psych-pop classic has some of the best choruses and lyrics you've never heard. If you like Revolver, and I know that you do, get this."

The list author says:
	"Truly thinking-persons pop. Unlike most on this list, as influenced by 60s Motown and soul as by the Beatles. If you doubt that Costello the lyricist is up there with Dylan, then check this first."

The list author says:
	"A modern masterpiece. A gleaming, beautifully textured and detailed pop album, with real-life depth and darkness. Lives up to the challenge set by OK Computer."

The list author says:
	"Their power-pop record is also one of their most sensitive. And if you're a sucker for key changes check Stand. Addictive stuff."

The list author says:
	"Pure post-punk pleasure. Very catchy riffs, charismatic vocals, and funky rhythms. Up there with Marquee Moon I say."

The list author says:
	"All SFA LPs are worth listening to, but this gives you some of their most beautiful sections, infectious singles, and mind-bending production details."

The list author says:
	"The best Britpop record. A lyrical masterclass ranging from social commentary to domestic minutiae. Some excellent keyboards too."

The list author says:
	"One of the best songwriters of his time, Elliott had it lyrically and melodically. Another one for Revolver fanatics."

The list author says:
	"Everything these guys did has become massively important for indie. Sensitive yet foot-stomping jangle-rock."

The list author says:
	"More sophisticated songcraft. Some great hooks, progressions, and arrangements here, for those who appreciate such details. Like Smiths and Belle + Sebastian fans, perhaps."
