Presenting the Fabulous Ronettes featuring Veronica
Nice, wholesome 60s music. Featuring a bunch of songs I, and no doubt most people, have heard throughout their lives. Favourites: (The Best Part Of) Breakin’ Up 494/500

Nightflight to Venus by Boney M
Funky as f*ck. I took a sidestep from my top 500 album countdown with this absolute banger of an album (maybe it appears higher on that list) Every song is golden. I can’t believe ive been enjoying the song Rasputin all these years without hearing it in the context of the album. The opening song…

II by Boyz II Men
495/500 Hot on the heels of Shakira’s album earlier, comes Boyz II Men’s II album. Pretty chill this one. It seemed to melt into the background as I was working. All in all pretty relaxing. Would recommend.

Donde Estan Los Ladrones by Shakira
496/500 If you’d have told me, a week ago, that I’d be listening to a Shakira album I’d have laughed at you. However, as this is in position 496 of the Top 500 Albums as decided by Rolling Stone magazine, it has entered my ears. And you know what? Even though I don’t understand a…

The Indestructible Beat of Soweto
497/500 I didn’t understand a word on the album. But that didn’t matter. I enjoyed it a lot. It became great background music to work to. I don’t think my leg stopped tapping from start to finish.

Suicide by Suicide
This album was okay to my ears. Some of the repetitive parts got a little boring for me. No disrespect — just not really my bag, this one. Maybe I’ll try a re-listen in the future.

Ask Rufus by Rufus Featuring Chaka Khan
Ive never been a huge R&B fan, but what I have heard (mostly from top list recommendations) I’ve enjoyed. And this album goes to the top of those. Wow. I loved the whole album, but the final song, “Egyptian Song” just blew me away. Favourite Songs: At Midnight (My Love Will Lift You Up) Hollywood…

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Starting back on the Rolling Stone top 500 albums listing. Why not. At number 500 there is Funeral by Arcade Fire. This is already one of my favourite albums so is a nice start to the chart. Favourite Songs: Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels) Neighborhood #3 (Power Out)

My all time favorite album
What’s your all-time favorite album? The Bends by Radiohead This is one writing prompt that has taken me a while to really think about. There’s a bunch of albums I could name that are in my top albums. However, trying to name a single all-time favorite album has been tricky. I decided in the end…

Heavy is the crown by Linkin Park
If The Emptiness Machine is a banger, which it is, then Heavy is the Crown is an ABSOLUTE FUCKING BANGER mate. Wow. This is really a new era of Linkin Park and I am here for it. The song felt completely familiar of early Linkin Park, but completely fresh. And Emily’s scream at 1 minute…

Innuendo by Queen
This album has resurfaced in my life and it just hits a lot differently than it did last time I heard it. Every song is an absolute banger that are bookended by two of my favorite Queen songs — Innuendo and The Show must go on. The lyrics of These are the days of our…
