The five hundred and seventy-first album: #571 Billy Bragg - Talking with the Taxman About Poetry
This album's opening track, Greetings to the New Brunette, sets out the album's approach, as well as Bragg's general approach to the world quite well. It's filled with the political, subverting what might seem like a love song at first glance. The subsequent tracks have similar vibes, some more overt than others, but it feels like that point is always there. Aside from being smart in those ways, the music mixes its influences quite well. The punk sound he comes from, with his ideologies, has taken a folk bend in how it focuses on just his sound, the music supporting his voice and lyrics. It's incredibly powerful and motivating.
