2010 – Earthquakes devastate both Chile and Haiti. The Deepwater Horizon oil spill damages the ocean in irreparable ways. Instagram launches. Antimatter is successfully trapped for the first time. The Icelandic volcano Eyjafjallajökull erupts. I never want to type that word again … so let’s hope the music makes me want to listen to itContinue reading “2010: The Year In Music”

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”

“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. I really love a lot of the tracks here, and the bonus ones aren’t half bad either. Let’s rank them all! Before we begin, you can check outContinue reading ““Song Machine, Season One: Strange Timez” – Songs Ranked”

Best Album Of Every Year Since 1960

I’ve done the best films of every year since 1960, so it’s only fair that I give music the same treatment. Same rules as before – this ranking is a mixture of public opinion as well as my own, and I’m only human so I’m bound to miss a few classics here and there. AndContinue reading “Best Album Of Every Year Since 1960”

Top 50 Gorillaz Songs

Gorillaz are one of my favourite active bands, with a plethora of songs that I really enjoy. With the release of Cracker Island, I can highlight my top 50 favourites!

My Spotify Wrapped 2022 – Every Song Ranked

One of the things I look forward to most at the end of each year is my Spotify Wrapped – I usually have no idea which songs were my most-played, so it’s always an eye-opening experience. Since I’ve gotten into the habit of ranking things on this blog, I thought it would be fun toContinue reading “My Spotify Wrapped 2022 – Every Song Ranked”

My Top 20 Favourite Albums Of All Time

I’ve talked about my favourite TV shows, films and videogames, so the last hobby to cover would be music. It’s time to highlight some of the best albums in music history! Some quick rules – I’m only including one album per artist (I’ll give a runner-up to each just for fun, though) and I’m notContinue reading “My Top 20 Favourite Albums Of All Time”

Every Gorillaz Album Ranked

I’ve done quite a few lists ranking the tracks on Gorillaz albums, but I’ve forgotten to rank the albums themselves! This is obviously all just my opinion, so try to ignore my bad taste and poor life choices. I haven’t included side albums like “D-Sides” or “The Fall”, partly because they’re not main entries butContinue reading “Every Gorillaz Album 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”
