The Beatles: Abbey Road (1969) Songs Ranked

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.

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.

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.

One Direction: Up All Night (2011) Song Ranking

In this post I’ll be ranking all the songs on One Direction’s first studio album, Up All Night, from worst to best. I don’t normally include deluxe tracks in these reviews, but I feel like all the One Direction songs, deluxe or not, are so important within the fan base that it would be wrong to overlook them (and there are some real gems within the deluxe tracks).

Harry Styles (2017) Songs Ranked

Harry Styles’ self-titled, solo-debut album was a very drastic change from what he had been making in One Direction. You can tell that he was heavily influenced by classic artists such as David Bowie, Freddie Mercury, and Pink Floyd while creating this record, and he managed to create a sound that was unlike anything else on the mainstream radio at the time. I really admire him for creating the album that he wanted to make, rather than making a radio album.
