Here's a light one for you: 1992/3 - Sessions for "Turn It Up" by Blur - "This album is starting to really sharpen up! Who knows, you just may really get the cred you deserve! (*and it did!) Excellent stuff...except for this! 'Kazoo kazoo you are mine'?!!! Save it for the B sides! Pure throwaway! "Bang" it out of there!"

Today, Modern Life Is Rubbish is rightfully a great album, and the one that sparked a long life of serious greatness, although one with a notorious skip track although the pain is blunted thanks to the excellence of most of the rest of the album.

EDIT: Thought of another light one - 1987 - Style Council's Jerusalem TV Special and the "Right to Go" song on The Cost of Loving (some say the whole album, possibly). Seen as the beginning of the end for Paul Weller's Post-Jam group that had two good albums that proved that he was thinking right by changing his tune, but it seems possible that Beatles-Worship got the better of him with a few concepts that did not match the music very well (The TV special being his Magical Mystery Tour and The Cost of Loving's "Orange Album" concept for the UK cover was quite reminiscent of a familiar 1968 album cover).
