When the Beatles broke up in 1969, they left a gaping void of musical talent that many wouldn’t dare to fill … Unless, of course, you’re as legendary as Led Zeppelin. They had a fantastic debut, but their second album is one of my absolute favourites. How would I rank the tracks? Thanks to commenterContinue reading “Led Zeppelin II – Every Song Ranked”

“Nevermind” – Songs Ranked
“Nevermind” is a classic Nirvana album that is widely considered to be one of the greatest of all time, and it’s certainly one of my favourites … which is why I’m surprised I haven’t ranked the tracklist yet!

“Purple Rain” – Every Track Ranked
“Purple Rain” is always in the running for best 80’s album for good reason – this is Prince at the peak of his powers, with some of the greatest songwriting and production of the era.

Bowie Albums – Overrated / Underrated
I haven’t counted, but if I had to guess I’d say Bowie lists are my most common blog post – needless to say, I love the man’s entire discography to bits!

“Violator” (Depeche Mode) – Songs Ranked
Depeche Mode is a band that most people are familiar with, but I feel like their best album – “Violator” – is an unsung gem from the late 80’s. There are some cracking songs on here, with some of the best production you’ll hear from the era. How would I rank all nine songs? BeforeContinue reading ““Violator” (Depeche Mode) – Songs Ranked”
“Toy” (David Bowie Album) – Songs Ranked
Apart from having the worst album cover I’ve ever seen, David Bowie’s posthumous “Toy” is quite a notable record in his discography. These re-imagined deep cuts are a mixed bag, ranging from forgettable to underrated, but it’s worth a listen for Bowie’s creative ingenuity alone. Shout-out to “The Corn Hazer” for the suggestion! I’ll onlyContinue reading ““Toy” (David Bowie Album) – Songs Ranked”
“Song Machine, Season One: Strange Timez” – Songs Ranked
Though I was a little mixed on “Song Machine, Season One: Strange Timez” on its initial release, it’s grown to become one of my favourite Gorillaz albums.
