OK. I come to you with crow feathers stuck to the corners of my mouth.
I decided to give Tennis a chance thanks to
@Bohnjaggs and
@GritNGlitter 's patience in persuading me over the years that I may actually like Tennis. Not the album Cam told us was as good as Rumours or Tapestry. But an older one - Young and Old. There are some songs on it that I definitely do not enjoy (My Better Self just meanders). But overall, I enjoy it!
Is Tennis essential to my collection? Nope, absolutely not. I think whomever said it earlier said it best - an album VMP says is the 14th best of the year is in no way essential. But this particular Tennis album I am listening to is good. Nothing more, nothing less.
