They're standalone but if you watch them out of order you aren't going to understand many things about the world, factions and characters. Watch the original (SDF Macross) first and foremost; then it's up to you.
Macross: DYRL is a movie version of the original show; it's a really good, iconic movie but I don't recommend watching it without watching the original show.

Macross Plus is very different from the rest of the franchise so if you watch it first you're going to have the wrong impression about the franchise.

Pretty much every part of the franchise is stand alone, but I would say yes, it's better to watch from the beginning, and as far as shows go — SDFM is the best one anyway, so might as well watch it first.

You don't NEED to but I'd highly recommend it. You'll miss a ton of shit if you don't.

By the way, 7 is the best one.

Do I really need to watch the post 27 episodes? Episode 26/27 was such a nice ending point, but then it goes on with this stupid ass Minmei triangle. I don't wanna deal with her douchebag liberal brother anymore, or Minmei for that matter.

No, I guess not, but since you already there — might as well finish it.
This part only exists to conclude the romance, last episode is pretty good.

If you hate Minmay then you definitely should, if you catch my drift.

I agree that 27 was the better point to end though.

Frontier is basically the final season and as such has tons of callbacks, I’d say so

I thought it was pretty cool how they deconstructed their own ending in episode 27 in the later episodes.
Singing a song doesn't actually fix the issues, and especially when the effect of the song is just the surprise of something new, when the people are used to music they become immune and go back to the violence they're used to.

Some more then others
7, Plus and Zero don't really need any background knowledge
Frontier and Delta have a few callbacks but aren't necessary
DYRL only really works if you've only seen SDFM
