If you asked me what my three favourite musical artists are, I would most likely say The Beatles, David Bowie and Muse. I love them all for wildly different reasons, and they’ve been the subject of many a list on my blog for the past two years. Since it’s been over two years since IContinue reading “Every Beatles, Bowie AND Muse Album 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”
“The White Album” (The Beatles) – Songs Ranked
“The White Album”, a.k.a “The biggest mish-mash of songs in music history”, is both the most inconsistent and the most remarkable album in the Beatles’ discography. While not every song is great, the fact that the band managed to make thirty unique songs in one package is nothing short of genius. Every band member getsContinue reading ““The White Album” (The Beatles) – 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”
“Rubber Soul” – Songs Ranked
It’s long overdue that I go through some of the greatest Beatles albums to rank their songs – maybe not all of them, but I’ve missed a few of my favourites and it’s time I put that right (so I probably won’t do their first five … or “Yellow Submarine”, for that matter). “Rubber Soul”Continue reading ““Rubber Soul” – Songs Ranked”
David Bowie – Closing Tracks Ranked
I knew Bowie’s openers were good, but the sheer quality of his album closers surprised me – while there aren’t as many “All-Time Greats” as in the “Openers” category, the majority of closing tracks are pretty outstanding. Same rules apply as in the “Opening Tracks Ranked” list – I’ll definitely be looking at the qualityContinue reading “David Bowie – Closing Tracks Ranked”
Beatles “Love” – Songs Ranked
“Love” is a bit of an oddity within the Beatles’ catalogue, as they didn’t really have anything to do with it. The album came around after the Cirque Du Soliel show of the same name needed a soundtrack, so Giles Martin (son of George Martin) came in to remix some of the band’s most recognisableContinue reading “Beatles “Love” – Songs Ranked”
Every Beatles Number 1 – Ranked
The Beatles are quite comfortably the greatest band of all time, blending both commercial pop and experimental rock in ways that had never been seen before and will never be seen again. I was actually very surprised to learn that they had a huge number of singles reach number 1 in the chart; I knewContinue reading “Every Beatles Number 1 – Ranked”
“Young Americans” Songs Ranked
Apparently this is one of those albums that most Bowie fans don’t like / have in their bottom half? I’ve never understood that personally – this album is fantastic. I love how Bowie infused Soul and Motown into his sound, and the result is an entirely unique album with some fantastic songs. How would IContinue reading ““Young Americans” Songs Ranked”
