great uncle I never met 
One of the 3 tenor sax players
I know
was trying to make a joke with fam thread layers (Eno nadir reference)
Lodger still a good album. maybe the weakest out of the three but it's so weirdly deranged and kind of the sound I have in my head when I think of Bowie

I am aware of the Eno peak reference

Best of the white album smoking everything they’ve done
The rest is just icing
Octopus Garden is better than every White Album song (except for the masterpiece, "Savoy Truffle")

I feel like I'm going crazy over this but is Abbey Road not as deep as a puddle in comparison to their rest of their '65-'69 songwriting?. George brought his A game but I can't read anything into the lyrics of the rest of the songs other than what they express up front.
Lennon admitted the second half didn't mean a f***ing thing and was just a bunch of white album leftover stitched together. I know y'all go crazy for it and it is great but even the Beatles didn't take it seriously.

yeah but the leftovers have some sort of kinetic energy that keeps them together. Probably them takig it less seriously makes it this good to me tbh. Often times the Beatles were rather stiff in the way they arranged things (Revolver being the biggest offender here. Many great ideas but I wish that album would have been 20 minutes longer and the songs would have had more space to breathe)

Kanye doesn't take LR or "POWER" seriously, doesn't mean they ain't great

they had to wait for Bob Dylan to invent the idea of pop music having long songs
I’m a big fan of those Beatles guys when they write a nice melodic tune.
Probably the greatest melodic songwriting team in the history of music but that's not a bold take at all

I know. I’m just messing around.

Ehhh that’s exactly what I like about it.
Idk I'm yappin
Dylan, Neil, Ray, Jarvis and other wordy wordsmiths being my goats should be enough to tell you I'm a lyric fan
but I guess I've probably said that id rather listen to a rap song with an average lyric and an amazing beat than a rap song with a great lyric and boring beat or something
I was printing out, studying and memorizing s*** like Wu Tangs Triumph when I was like 14 tho and have always been fascinated with a certain type of evocative poetic lyricism. Feel like I have a strong dilettante eye for good poetry.

14 and having Triumph and Biggie’s Victory as “new” songs
Methinks everything from Rubber Soul to Abbey Road is essentially in the same ballpark of quality
There's a strong decidedly stoner vibe on Rubber Soul and White Album that's just the absolute comfort zone for me
Red Money should be in discussion for best Bowie closing tracks (even though that's tough competition)

Yeah i guess it differs from genre to genre but i remember vividly you saying you prefer some sonic magic in rap over lyrics, most of the time, as long as the lyrics aren't so noticeably garbage that it's impossible to ignore
