A Night at the Opera was Queen’s fourth studio album, and arguably their most famous one to date. This album boasts some of the best songs in their entire discography, as well as some of the most iconic songs of all time (if you’re familiar with the track list, I’m sure you’ll know which song I’m referring to).

U2: Achtung Baby (1991) Song Ranking
After their major blow-up in fame, U2 was seeking reinvention. They achieved it with Achtung Baby, which branched away from their usual stadium-rock sounds and inched towards influences of alternative rock and industrial music. In my opinion, this album has some truly amazing songs, some of which are highlights of their entire catalog, but also some songs that are hard to get into.
The Beatles: Magical Mystery Tour (1967) Song Ranking
Magical Mystery Tour was the soundtrack to the film of the same name, and it’s chock-full with some of the best songs in the entire Beatles catalog. You’re guaranteed to recognize at least a few of the song titles in the track list.
Sabrina Carpenter: Singular: Act I (2018) Songs Ranked
Singular: Act I saw Sabrina Carpenter making a proper foray into pop music. Her first album was very sweet and acoustic, and her second album was dreamy-pop, but this album is slick, glossy pop.
One Direction: Midnight Memories (2013) Songs Ranked
Midnight Memories was One Direction’s first great album. Up All Night and Take Me Home were both fun and charming and cute, but I wouldn’t call them great. The growth from those two albums that is evident in this one makes me very proud. Midnight Memories says goodbye to bubblegum pop and hello to rock-influence and even some folk-flavor.
Springtime Playlist
Springtime is where the world comes alive after the winter, and it’s where colors seem brighter and sounds seem clearer, and the air smells sweeter. Personally, I’m actually more of a winter-gal, but that’s just my opinion. Spring is a beautiful season, and I’ve managed to find a few songs that capture the happiness and vibrance of it. As always, my top choice will be in a different color.
Fleetwood Mac: Rumours (1977) Songs Ranked
Rumours by Fleetwood Mac is one of the best-selling albums of all time, and it’s considered to be one of the greatest albums ever made. I can definitely get behind this notion, because wow. What an awesome album. There isn’t a single bad song, and each song really captures a particular emotion and narrative. It’s a cohesive record, but each song still stands out.
March 2020: Music Recap
This has been quite the interesting month, with all the quarantine stuff that’s been going on. While that has obviously limited other aspects of my life, it has given me a lot of free time to focus on music, as well as this blog. At the beginning of the month I wasn’t really finding any new songs, and then about midway through March I started discovering a lot. Without further ado, let’s get into my musical discoveries of March 2020.
Billy Joel: An Innocent Man (1983) Song Ranking
Billy Joel’s ninth studio album, An Innocent Man, is actually really great. Usually I prefer Billy as a singles artist rather than an album artist, but this album was awesome the whole way through. Seriously, there’s not a single weak track. Maybe it’s because this a concept album; all the songs are inspired by 60s-music, and as a big 60s-music lover, I guess it was bound to sit well with me.
The Beatles: Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967) Song Ranking
Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band is very often cited as the best album of all time, so for that reason, I’m a little nervous to review it. Nonetheless, I think it would be a crime for me to go through The Beatles’ discography without reviewing this album, so here I am. Just know that I’m not some musical expert, and these are just my opinions. Without further ado, let’s have the ranking begin!
