    Time by the Electric Light Orchestra. that period in the late 70s and early 80s where synthesizer music was getting popular but hadn’t fully codified norms yet is chock full of incredible music, and Time was one of those albums while also being the culmination of a lot of the rock and pop that came before it. add an engaging and heartbreaking story and you have a winner

      Have you heard the remastered version with additional tracks? Julie Don’t Live Here is especially poignant.

      Also, the album Eldorado.

        yeah, the 2001 CD remaster was actually the one i grew up with! Julie is also my favorite bonus track. i don’t understand how it’s possible to make something that upbeat and melancholy at the same time but it just works
