Abbey Road, though it was not the last album to be released by The Beatles, was the last album to be recorded by the band. And honestly, what a great piece of work to end on (in the recording sense, of course). This album is often heralded as one of the greatest and most iconic of all time, and I can see why. It’s a very pleasant and polished record (not to mention that it’s arguably the most well-known and iconic album covers of all time).

Louis Tomlinson: Walls (2020) Song Ranking
Walls, Louis Tomlinson’s debut solo studio album, shows a lot of emotional and musical maturity. While I am a huge fan of One Direction’s music, I don’t think it’s unfair to say that they weren’t allowed to get too personal in those songs. Walls sees Louis pouring his heart out about everything that’s been going on in his life, and I think he managed to put together an incredible selection of songs.
Queen: A Night at the Opera (1975) Song Ranking
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.
April 2020: Music Recap
April has been a pretty boring month for me, but I have made some great musical discoveries! Here they are:
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.
