2003 – Airstrikes by an American and British-led coalition signal the beginning of the Invasion of Iraq, without United Nations support and in defiance of world opinion. The Human Genome Project is completed with 99% of human genome sequenced to an accuracy of 99.99%. “The Return of the King”, the third and final film inContinue reading “2003: The Year In Music”

1970: The Year In Music
1970 – The Best Picture winning film “Patton” releases. The Mary Tyler Moore Show premiers. Paul McCartney officially announces the split of The Beatles. Brazil and Pelé become the first team and player to win the FIFA World Cup three times. Maybe not the most exciting year in the world … but at least theContinue reading “1970: The Year In Music”
Beatles Albums – Overrated / Underrated
I thought I’d try a new format on my blog – looking through every entry of a certain topic, deciding whether it’s overrated or underrated (or properly rated) by the general public and the fandom. Who better to start with than the mighty Beatles – I’ve listened to their entire discography countless times, so I’mContinue reading “Beatles Albums – Overrated / Underrated”
EVERY Beatles Song Ranked (Part Two: 106-1)
In case you haven’t seen the first half of this list, here’s the link: We’ve trudged through over a hundred songs ranging from terrible to decent, so now it’s time for the good stuff! The next 106 songs are, in my opinion, at the very least “Great”. Before we crack on with it, you canContinue reading “EVERY Beatles Song Ranked (Part Two: 106-1)”
EVERY Beatles Song Ranked (Part One: 213-107)
Yep, you read that right. Every single Beatles song – album tracks and singles included. I’m an idiot. There are 213 tracks by my count, so I’d better get on with it! Remember – this is just my opinion, and it’s definitely wrong. I’ll be posting this list in two segments (213-107, then 106-1 separately)Continue reading “EVERY Beatles Song Ranked (Part One: 213-107)”
Every Beatles, Bowie AND Muse Album Ranked
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”
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”
Every Beatles Album – Which Beatle was MVP?
Possibly a hard one to explain this week, but I had an idea to pick out an MVP from every Beatles albums (more in terms of songwriting, not necessarily performance). This basically just means I’ll choose the Beatle that I think wrote the best songs for that album – so you’re not going to seeContinue reading “Every Beatles Album – Which Beatle was MVP?”
