I’m loving King Crimson more with each passing day. Over time I’m building up a nice catalogue of songs I enjoy, which in turn is making some of their albums an excellent experience on the whole. “Larks’ Tongues In Aspic” was initially too out-there for my tastes, but with repeated listens I’m starting to reallyContinue reading ““Larks’ Tongues In Aspic” – Songs Ranked”

“Bridge Over Troubled Water” – Every Song Ranked

Robert Fripp was well and truly done with King Crimson in the late seventies, but he formed a new band with Adrian Belew on guitar and vocals, Bill Bruford on drums and Tony Levin on bass and called it “Discipline”. Their debut album took the same name, but Fripp decided to revive the King CrimsonContinue reading ““Discipline” (King Crimson) – Every Song Ranked”
The New Sound (Geordie Greep) – Every Song Ranked
I wasn’t too familiar with black midi’s work before their split, but I knew the song “Welcome to Hell” and absolutely loved it.

My Favourite Lyric On Every Talking Heads Song

Like how I went through David Bowie’s discography, I’m going to look at each Talking Heads song and pick my favourite lyric from each. It’ll be interestingContinue reading “My Favourite Lyric On Every Talking Heads Song”
“Electric Ladyland” (Jimi Hendrix) – Every Song Ranked
Everyone remembers “Are You Experienced” as being the definitive Jimi Hendrix album, but I think there’s a good case to be made for “Electric Ladyland”. It feels more focused from start to finish, and the highs are truly extraordinary. How would I rank every track? Before we begin, you can check out some of myContinue reading ““Electric Ladyland” (Jimi Hendrix) – Every Song Ranked”
