Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Songs 460-451

460. “My Sweet Lord” – George Harrison (1970) Even though The Beatles were mainly focused on McCartney and Lennon, George Harrison penned some of their greatest work, most notably “Something,” the best track on the acclaimed Abbey Road. But this song, which I had never heard before now, may top them all. This is simply…

Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Songs: 470-461

The last batch of songs was the best yet featuring classics that I knew and others I didn’t with seven of the 10 worthy of consideration for my Top 500. It’ll be tough to top. 470. “Standing in the Shadows of Love” – Four Tops (1966) This isn’t a bad song by any means, but…

Burnes’ Turns: September 8-15

We replace the last couple of week’s penchant for movie-related artistry to straight ahead Pop music done right, an ’80s track I don’t hate, a classic from KISS’ best member, and a racial sermon that’s desperately needed in today’s world. “The Blacker the Berry” – Kendrick Lamar A week ago I was talking with my…

Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Songs: 480-471

After a good first batch, the last 10 tracks weren’t particularly impressive. But as we continue our journey down the list, things should only get better as we move along. 480. “Sabotage” – Beastie Boys (1994) I remember being absolutely blown away the first time I heard this chaotic Punk track. It surprised me; this…

CWC Finals and NXT Review: September 14, 2016

10 weeks of some of the best wrestling in WWE history reaches its climax tonight. There will certainly be fantastic matches and moments as Gran Metalik, Zack Sabre Jr., TJ Perkins and Kota Ibushi vie for the Orange County Chopper-created Cruiserweight Classic Trophy. It should be a great night of wrestling, but first, there’s the…

Sonic Heroes (2003)

7.5 There’s a lot of enjoyment to be had in Sonic Heroes. Widely considered to be the last Sonic game before developer Sonic Team took a creative nosedive, Sonic Heroes minimizes the story-based gaming that Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2 had developed in favor of more high octane thrills, chills and spills. It also…

Smackdown Review: September 13, 2016

Although I am pulling for Smackdown hard in the post-draft WWE environment, their buildup to Backlash and the PPV itself, did not blow me away by any stretch. We’ve got a lot of new champions, which is fine, but who in the world could ever hope to stand against AJ Styles, who is far and…

Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Songs: 490-481

After the last nice collection of tracks, I continue my journey through Rolling Stone‘s Top 500 Songs of All Time with tracks 490-481 below. 490. “Clocks” – Coldplay (2002) My feelings for “Clocks” have shifted considerably over the years. It was one of the first tracks I ever heard from way before I was a music…

Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Songs: 500-491

You may have noticed as of late that, while I’ve been posting plenty of content on this site, not a whole lot of it has been music-related. That’s because I’ve been forgoing album-listening (at least when compared to my regular pace) in order to work on a project that I’ve been wanting to create for…
