I recently watched a YouTube video by a channel called “The Man in Me” which listed out the fifty best-selling albums of all time. It was a far more random list than I was expecting – some of the classics were there as expected, but other albums seemed really inconsequential and out of place. WhatContinue reading “Top 50 Best Selling Albums Of All Time – Ranked”

“Stardust Crusader” Stands With Musical Names

Now that I’ve finished all of “JoJo’s Bizarre Adventures”, one of the things that bothers me in retrospect is the Stand-naming convention – specifically, how Araki didn’t name a lot of the “Stardust Crusaders” Stands after musical bands or songs like he did for later Parts. Araki doesn’t always give his Stands names that relateContinue reading ““Stardust Crusader” Stands With Musical Names”

20 More Random Songs Ranked

Like how I did the first time, I’m going to rank 20 random songs from my “Liked Songs” playlist on Spotify (which has almost 4000 songs) to highlight some tracks that may not have otherwise seen much love. I’m also adding a rule from now on of no repeats between lists … which is easyContinue reading “20 More Random Songs Ranked”

20 Random Songs Ranked

I’ve ranked a lot of random things on this blog, including a variety of songs, but that got me thinking … what if I ranked something truly random?

The ACTUAL Best Song On Famous Albums

I’m going to attempt something completely different with this list, and this will undoubtedly end up being my most controversial list of them all – I’ll talk about a few of my favourite albums (twelve, in total) and what my pick for favourite song on the album is. That’s simple, you might be thinking, whatContinue reading “The ACTUAL Best Song On Famous Albums”

“Rumours” (Fleetwood Mac) – Songs Ranked

Easily one of my favourite albums ever, it was only a matter of time before I attempted to rank the songs on “Rumours”. Widely considered to be Fleetwood Mac’s crowning achievement, and one of the best selling albums of all time, there’s no doubt that this record has gone down as one of the greats.Continue reading ““Rumours” (Fleetwood Mac) – Songs Ranked”
