I’ve recently been going through every year in music for my thorough retrospectives, and as such I’ve been exposed to some fantastic albums. I wanted to talk about some of my favourites – this time looking at the 1970’s. I reviewed fifty albums as part of that decade’s retrospectives (five per year), all of whichContinue reading “Top 10 Albums of the 1970’s”

My Worst Opinions
I’m approaching my sixth anniversary of running this blog all about my personal opinions, and that got me thinking – are there any opinions I’d retract in hindsight? Are there things I said in the past which seem stupid nowadays? And so I went back through every single one of my posts, and let meContinue reading “My Worst Opinions”

“Larks’ Tongues In Aspic” – Songs Ranked
I’m loving King Crimson more with each passing day. Over time I’m building up a nice catalogue of songs I enjoy, which in turn is making some of their albums an excellent experience on the whole. “Larks’ Tongues In Aspic” was initially too out-there for my tastes, but with repeated listens I’m starting to reallyContinue reading ““Larks’ Tongues In Aspic” – Songs Ranked”
“Discipline” (King Crimson) – Every Song Ranked
Robert Fripp was well and truly done with King Crimson in the late seventies, but he formed a new band with Adrian Belew on guitar and vocals, Bill Bruford on drums and Tony Levin on bass and called it “Discipline”. Their debut album took the same name, but Fripp decided to revive the King CrimsonContinue reading ““Discipline” (King Crimson) – Every Song 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? I played the first 20 shuffled tracks from my “Liked Songs” playlist on Spotify (which has over 3600 songs) and ranked them from least good to best.Continue reading “20 Random Songs Ranked”
Which JoJo Stand Is The Best? (Golden Wind)
“Golden Wind” marks the third JoJo Part to include Stands in their various forms, and this was arguably the wildest, weirdest crop of abilities yet. I laid out my rules for ranking Stands in my Stardust Crusaders list, but the general gist is that I’ve ranked each Stand out of ten in five different categoriesContinue reading “Which JoJo Stand Is The Best? (Golden Wind)”
“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”
“In The Court Of The Crimson King” – Songs Ranked
I always knew King Crimson were special, but now that I’m more familiar with their discography I can confidently say they were one of the best, most pioneering bands of all time. My personal favourite album is actually their debut – “In The Court Of The Crimson King”. These five songs are (mostly) fantastic …Continue reading ““In The Court Of The Crimson King” – Songs Ranked”
