MORE Of The ACTUAL Best Songs On Iconic Albums
A few years ago I made a post that asked the question – are the general public wrong about the so-called “best” songs from iconic albums? I’m back at it again with fifteen more unpopular opinions! Same rules as before – I’m guessing what people consider are the “best” songs on an album based onContinue reading “MORE Of The ACTUAL Best Songs On Iconic Albums”
“The Downward Spiral” – Songs Ranked
The 90’s was a time of great change in music, with bands like Nirvana reshaping the public’s perception of radio. One album that still seems alien to me, however, is “The Downward Spiral”. It’s not that Trent Reznor and Nine Inch Nails were ahead of their time … it’s more like they were outside ofContinue reading ““The Downward Spiral” – Songs Ranked”
Every Beatles Cover Song Ranked
Especially in their earlier years, the Beatles were known to take a Rock ‘n’ Roll classic and make it their own … for better or worse. Thanks to a suggestion by commenter “John”, I’ll be ranking all twenty-five Beatles cover songs from worst to best – if you have an idea for a ranking youContinue reading “Every Beatles Cover Song Ranked”
“Red” (King Crimson) – Songs Ranked
In my initial dive into King Crimson’s work, two albums stood out to me – their debut (of course), and “Red”. This excellent collection of five hard-hitting songs was apparently Curt Cobain’s favourite album, and it’s quickly climbing my ranks too. How would I rank every song? You can check out some of my relatedContinue reading ““Red” (King Crimson) – Songs Ranked”
“Thriller” – Every Song Ranked
Michael Jackson was THE titan of 80’s Pop, and you need look no further than “Thriller” to find a masterpiece. I love most of the songs on this album, and have done for some time … so I’m amazed I’ve forgotten to rank the album’s tracks from worst to best until now! Before we begin,Continue reading ““Thriller” – Every Song Ranked”
Led Zeppelin IV – Every Song Ranked
Led Zeppelin released so many great albums in their day, but one stands head and shoulders above the others – “Led Zeppelin IV” remains a personal favourite, and few Rock albums have ever topped it. I’ll be ranking all eight tracks thanks to the suggestion by commenter “Daniel” – make sure to get in contactContinue reading “Led Zeppelin IV – Every Song Ranked”
Led Zeppelin II – Every Song Ranked
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”
1981: The Year In Music
1981 – Ronald Reagan is inaugurated as the 40th President of the United States of America. IBM introduces its first Personal Computer. The first Golden Raspberry Awards (Razzies) take place. The music video cable channel MTV debuts with the Buggles song “Video Killed The Radio Star”. All in all, a more positive year in historyContinue reading “1981: The Year In Music”
“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! I’ll be ranking all thirteen tracks (yes, even the bonus track) from worst to best by myContinue reading ““Nevermind” – Songs Ranked”
