S A significantly smaller movie than its predecessors in terms of scope, Rogue One is nevertheless one of the top two greatest Star Wars movies of all time due to its ability to develop characters and create dueling emotions unlike any prior entry in the series. Many Star Wars fans were somewhat nervous about Disney’s…
Business-wise, it was a pretty rough year for WWE as RAW’s ratings hit their lowest point in the show’s history, but from an in-ring perspective, 2016 was no slouch. Just about every PPV of the year presented at least one match that was worthy of four stars or higher and many different wrestlers have been…
In a complete turnaround from the beginning of the brand split, RAW has been absolutely decimating Smackdown in terms of quality weekly television. Show-long stories and relatively intriguing matchups have helped make the three-hour slog seem much more manageable. I expect this trend to continue tonight and am looking for Roadbloack to be a much…
190. “Back in Black” – AC/DC This was Bryan Johnson’s introduction to the world as the frontman of AC/DC after the death of Bon Scott, and he arrived all guns blazing and armed to the teeth with one of the greatest riffs of all time and the killer flow (and high register) to back it…
210. “Bye Bye Love” – The Everly Brothers This is another Everly Brothers song that I spent a lot of time listening to when I was four with my step-grandma, but unlike “Wake up, Little Suzie” this one is not historically interesting, nor was it badass and controversial in its day. How could it have…
230 “Mannish Boy” – Muddy Waters It’s clear that for straight-ahead Blues, you can’t do better than Muddy Waters. This song never really goes anywhere and it’s limited by the boundaries of its genre, but as far as this type of music goes, it’d be hard to find anything better. Burnes’ Turns: No Top 500…
260. “Mississippi” – Bob Dylan I was first exposed to this song when I was new to buying music off of iTunes. Rolling Stone had listed it as one of the greatest songs of the ’00s, but the version I purchased was actually a live acoustic recording. It’s still really good, and after listening to…
As we approach the half-way point through Rolling Stone‘s list, things are starting to get really good. There are multiple songs below that I had never heard before that will almost certainly appear on my final list to be revealed in the coming weeks. But as usual, there are also some duds, so it’s up…
I took a brief hiatus from posting, but that doesn’t mean I wasn’t still listening. So today we have a supersized continuation of the Rolling Stone: 500 Greatest Songs series as we edge ever closer to the creation of my own list. 340. “Subterranean Homesick Blues” – Bob Dylan Bob Dylan’s offspring has called this…
350. “The Harder They Come” – Jimmy Cliff While I enjoy listening to Reggae (though, I’ll admit, my experience with the genre mainly consists of Bob Marley’s work), I find the majority of the stuff I’ve heard to be a bit too formulaic and laid-back to be considered among the greatest music of all time.…
