Hi,
I would always pick up a Summon from Tasha: they do a lot of damage and they absorb some of the enemy's attention. They are more party-friendly than Conjure Animals, and overall more effective to use. Summon Undead or Summon Aberrations are the best choices as they provide a ranged options, but the other Summons are also good.

Telekinesis is good on a Lore Bard, thanks to the sinergy with Master of All Trades and Peerless Skills. It's a good control spell, although a bit redundant with Animate Objects and Bigby's Hand.

These are both Concentration spells, though, so depending on your combat style you may need something non-concentration.
