Ridiculous title aside, Arctic Monkey’s first album is pretty perfect as far as debuts go. It was a huge success in the UK, and the band couldn’t have asked for a stronger start to their careers. Not only was the album a commercial success, but the individual songs on it are fantastic too. How wouldContinue reading ““Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not” – Songs Ranked”

EVERY Muse Album Song Ranked
I’ve made my love of Muse abundantly clear, and while they might not be critical darlings they have countless tracks that I absolutely adore. At the very least, every song is at least passable – but how would I rank all the tracks? There are a couple of rules I’ve set out for myself –Continue reading “EVERY Muse Album Song Ranked”
“Gorillaz” (2001 Debut Album) – Songs Ranked
As debut albums go, Gorillaz really knocked it out of the park on their first attempt. It’s not my favourite album of theirs, but they set the groundwork for what was to come. A fair few of these songs are well-known, but some are criminally underrated. How would I rank them all? You can checkContinue reading ““Gorillaz” (2001 Debut Album) – Songs Ranked”
“Will Of The People” – Songs Ranked
At the time of writing this, Muse’s latest album “Will Of The People” has just come out – I’m literally making this list after my second full listen. Even though my opinions are bound to change over time, I thought I’d get in early with my song rankings. Unlike with some of the other MuseContinue reading ““Will Of The People” – Songs Ranked”
“Discovery” – Songs Ranked
The album of a generation, “Discovery” is usually in everybody’s selection of favourite albums. There’s something so simple yet masterful about the way Daft Punk managed to create such a plethora of great songs – but how would I rank them all? You can check out some of my related blog posts below: Meh 14Continue reading ““Discovery” – Songs Ranked”
“Let It Be” – Songs Ranked
The final official Beatles album, except “Let It Be” was actually the penultimate album that they recorded. They shelved it after they weren’t satisfied with the final product, and the record label ended up releasing it against their will in 1970 after they had broken up. I’d always thought fondly of this album, but theContinue reading ““Let It Be” – Songs Ranked”
“Magical Mystery Tour” – Songs Ranked
Some Beatles fans are quick to shun “Magical Mystery Tour” – they claim it’s not officially an album, and it doesn’t succeed in its concept quite as much as Sgt Pepper’s did. While I agree with that last sentiment, I think not including it among their albums is a load of rubbish. It’s one ofContinue reading ““Magical Mystery Tour” – Songs Ranked”
“Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” – Songs Ranked
While “Sgt. Pepper’s” probably wouldn’t quite crack my top 3 Beatles albums, there’s no denying the sheer impact it had on culture. It’s unequivocally one of the best albums of all time, and it pioneered an obscene amount of musical and production breakthroughs. It’s also one of the band’s most consistent albums ever – howContinue reading ““Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” – Songs Ranked”
“Random Access Memories” – Songs Ranked
“Random Access Memories” is easily my favourite Daft Punk album, and it’s probably up there as one of the best records of the 2010’s for me. I love the way it infuses all sorts of genres, from jazz to big-band to classic electronica, and the experience as a whole is nothing short of a perfectContinue reading ““Random Access Memories” – Songs Ranked”
“Wish You Were Here” – Songs Ranked
I always have a tough time deciding what my second favourite Pink Floyd album is (after “Dark Side of the Moon”, of course) – on the one hand “The Wall” is quite sensational with its grand length and concept, yet “Wish You Were Here” has always stood out to me as a flawless album.
