One of the main series I’ve done on this blog is my music retrospective, where I’ve gone year by year since 1960 and reviewed the biggest hits and highest rated songs / albums. Now that I’ve caught up to the present day, I want to look back at the best (and worst) years in musicContinue reading “Top 10 Best (And 5 Worst) Years In Music History”

“The Wow! Signal” (Muse) – Songs Ranked & Album Review
Muse have released a new album! I’ve been a Muse fan for almost a decade now, so I’m always hyped whenever a new project releases. “The Wow! Signal” is yet another shift in tone for the band – it’s a sort of halfway point between the synthetic sounds on “Simulation Theory” and the Heavy RockContinue reading ““The Wow! Signal” (Muse) – Songs Ranked & Album Review”
“Ants From Up There” Songs Ranked
My god, “Ants From Up There” is one of the best albums ever. I finally listened to it while going through 2022‘s high-rated music and I immediately fell in love. To put it into context, I was going to briefly listen to each track again for the purpose of this list (just to finalize theContinue reading ““Ants From Up There” Songs Ranked”
“13” (Blur) – Songs Ranked
I don’t normally listen to Blur albums, but one of my readers recommended a few to me so I thought I’d give them a go. I chose “13” in the end as it seemed like a more mature and introspective project, and I think I picked correctly. It was a really solid album in theContinue reading ““13” (Blur) – Songs Ranked”
“Getting Killed” (Geese) – Every Song Ranked
When “Getting Killed” garnered a lot of buzz in 2025, I paid it little attention. I hadn’t heard of Geese before and I just assumed them to be some pretentious New York upstarts whose fame would be gone in a flash. I couldn’t have been more wrong. After actually listening to the album, it becameContinue reading ““Getting Killed” (Geese) – Every Song Ranked”
“…Like Clockwork” (Queens of the Stone Age) – Every Song Ranked
I’ve always been aware of Queens of the Stone Age and liked their work, but it was only when listening to “…Like Clockwork” in full for my 2013 Music Retrospective that I became a true fan. This is such an excellent album, front to back, and there are individual songs here that have become recentContinue reading ““…Like Clockwork” (Queens of the Stone Age) – Every Song Ranked”
My Favourite Lyric On Every Radiohead Song
I’ve looked at some of my favourite lyrics from Bowie, LCD Soundsystem, Talking Heads and Muse, so I think it’s time I pick some of my favourite lyrics from one of the most depressing yet thought-provoking bands of our time – Radiohead. They have a reputation for sombre and morose lyrics, but I think that’sContinue reading “My Favourite Lyric On Every Radiohead Song”
“Deadbeat” (Tame Impala) – Songs Ranked
After five years, Tame Impala is back with their new album – “Deadbeat”. I’ve loved every Tame Impala album so far, and so I listened to it start to finish the moment it released. I don’t want to spoil my review straight away … but I have some thoughts. Before we begin, you can checkContinue reading ““Deadbeat” (Tame Impala) – Songs Ranked”
2010: The Year In Music
2010 – Earthquakes devastate both Chile and Haiti. The Deepwater Horizon oil spill damages the ocean in irreparable ways. Instagram launches. Antimatter is successfully trapped for the first time. The Icelandic volcano Eyjafjallajökull erupts. I never want to type that word again … so let’s hope the music makes me want to listen to itContinue reading “2010: The Year In Music”
Merriweather Post Pavilion (Animal Collective) – Every Song Ranked
I’d heard of Animal Collective and liked a few songs, but it was only once reviewing 2009’s year in music that I finally listened to “Merriweather Post Pavilion” in full for the first time. It’s such a fantastic album, and some of its songs are quickly becoming new favourites … but how would I rankContinue reading “Merriweather Post Pavilion (Animal Collective) – Every Song Ranked”
