Ranking All 10 Miranda Lambert Albums From Worst to Best
My first female country ranking! Miranda Lambert has been honored with more Academy of Country Music Awards than any artist in history. This checks out. Her discography ran the risk at times of being too consistent to make for an interesting video, know what I mean?

Halloween Special: Ranking All 20 Kiss Studio Albums from Worst to Best

My band from way back! I'd heard nearly everything previously except for 'Carnival of Souls' and most of 'Psycho Circus.' Wish I could go back in time to late 2000s and experience especially some of the 80s bangers like "Heaven's on Fire" and "Lick It Up" for the first time again, but this was still fun (also no live or solo stuff included). 00:00 Intro 00:47 20th 2:20 19th 3:35 18th 4:33 17th ...

The breakthrough female country artist of the moment, Megan has a cool yet relatable vibe. Her first album 'Lucky' from 2023 had several good tracks that rightly put her on the map. Producer Kristian Bush returns for album number two 'Am I Okay?' How does it stack up from her debut just over a year ago? #meganmoroney #countrymusic #countrypop #newmusic #albumreview

    6. Creatures of the Night. A crossroads for KISS 💋. KISS producer Michael James Jackson suggested that KISS wrote with outside writers. He suggested a young Metro Vancouver singer and songwriter named Bryan Adams. My favorite songs from this album. Rock and Roll Hell ➕ War Machine. Written by Bryan Adams, Jim Vallance and Gene Simmons. Rock and Roll Hell. Bryan Adams added a few elements to the existing song, same title, which was recorded by BTO. Jim Vallance presented that song 🎵, with the addition by Adams, to Gene Simmons. He complained that it needed a 3rd verse! 🙄 Then, he said he would add it! Vallance was perplexed 😖. Simmons finished the 3rd verse. Thus, KISS released that version. Simmons only asked a modest percentage for royalties, which Adams and Jim Vallance agreed 👍. At first Vallance felt empty. Years later, he and Adams realized that the ex school teacher Gene Simmons taught a lesson on negotiations! L 🤣 L Bulk if this is from the Jim Vallance web page for Rock and Roll Hell.

    I listened to The Offspring as a teenager through the 90s, and I agree that Ixnay is their best album. For me, Ixnay, Smash, and Americana are the top 3, with Ignition close behind. Honestly, I can't get into anything they did after and including Conspiracy of One. They've always managed to put out the odd great single, but nothing that really rivals their amazing run of albums in the 90s. Not common to hear someone talk about them at all, so I appreciate you taking the time to discuss them!

    I myself find it extraordinarily hard to "rank" The Beatles albums. The Beatles are my all time favorite music act, and every album has some all-time classics. That being said, being that my two favorite songs of all time (regardless of artist) are "Twist And Shout" and "Please Please Me", maybe that means that the "Please Please Me" album would be number one for me? Is that how that works?

Honky Chateau I agree with many of your comments especially the boring "The Diving Board". That one, "The Big Picture" and Peachtree Road are all near the bottom of my list with Blue Moves not far behind. I like catchy melodic pop-rock songs.

    Really nice! I like the way you both rank and rate, which makes it more multidimensional, giving a sense of where each one stands compared to the rest of the list, while also giving each album a place where it stands among all of your albums. While I didn’t agree with all of either your ratings or rankings, I did agree with many. And you justified all of both and forced me to reconsider. BBLY is one that many people have being pushing me to reconsider, as it has never been one of my favorites. Same with 15 BO. Now, I know I need to go back and listen again. On the other hand, for me. both HOLLAND and CARL & THE PASSIONS are two of my favorites and both at least 3&½ star albums, and more like 4. I admit, though, that I may be biased as I saw that version of the band, the most of all of my years loving and seeing them perform live and that incarnation is still my favorite. And “Marcella” and “You Need a Mess of Help (to Stand Alone)” are two of my favorite BB songs. And they performed “Marcella” a lot back in those days, as did the Brian Wilson Band. But in any case, I really enjoyed your list, this video and your arguments for each and every position. Subscribed and will watch a lot more of your videos. And it also inspired me in making mine as I just start out my YT journey. Thank you so much. Keep up the good work.

And “Please Let Me Wonder”, might be tied for top spot as my favorite Beach Boys song of all time, with “Sail On, Sailor”. And actually, I probably listen to “Please Let Me Wonder” more. I have the UNSURPASSED MASTERS bootleg collection, and the volume for TODAY, is easily my favorite. And the takes, instrumental backing track sessions, vocal takes, mixes etc. for “Please Let Me Wonder” takes up one CD. And I have listened to that over and over for well over a decade. So good! Almost like listening to a symphony for me.

    surfin' safari is what it sounds like : a bunch of kids. the beach boys were never a garage band. they were a living room band. surfin' usa is a HUGE improvement; a giant leap forward. the lonely sea is one of my all time favorite songs. the first glimpse we get of bw's more melancholy side. to me surfer girl, little Deuce Coupe, shut down volume 2, all summer long, Christmas album, TODAY! (my all time favorite album by ANYONE), summer days/nights, pet sounds, SMiLE! sessions, smiley smile (in the 70's this album was my favorite album by anyone of the previous decade, then i heard TODAY! and the doors's debut), wild honey, friends and 20/20 are all classic albums. i don't really count party! as a studio album. i could live without it. i like most of sunflower. i like much of surf's up. i really can't get into much of carl/passions and holland. i appreciate them more than i actually enjoy them. Mount Vernon and Fairway however is amazing. 15 big ones is/was a HUGE disappointment. the bb recorded it under duress. their label was threatening to sue them for not meeting the obligations of their contract. they owed the label two more records.they went into the studio and attempted to record two albums at once. they were going to record one album of covers and one album of new material, but the clock was ticking and they were running out of time. so they presented what they had recorded thus far as one album to buy them more time. this album should have been either all covers or all new material, not a mash-up. around this time they also recorded their second Christmas album hoping that would fullfill their contract, but the label rejected it. they did not want a Christmas album. it would take decades for this material /their second Christmas album to finally be released. LOVE YOU is my favorite album of the 70's. it is their last truly great, classic album. it was the last time they attempted to move forward. originally love you was to be a solo brian album called brian loves you. special note should be made of nearly every member of the band walked out during love you's recording process not knowing what to make of what brian was doing; dennis and carl MAY have hung around the studio more than the others. after this the bb stopped even atempting to move forward. mike love seized control of the band. they then proceeded to attempt and failed to regain their former, early era glory. i wish they had retired the BB name or retiring from recording after love you. the beach boys are my all time favorite band, but i do not listen to any of their post 1977 love you albums. even bruce says they sound like old men on MIU. l.a. light album has a very few good songs, but everything else post-love you i just wish would cease to exist. still crusin' to me isn't a studio album; just a compilation with left overs. That's Why God Made the Radio is a good reunion album. check out brian's unreleased albums sweet insanity and adult/child and brian and dennis's unreleased album the cocaine sessions aka the hamburger sessions.

      Ha. I didn't really know popular consensus for them except about 'Mardi Gras.' That's interesting. Honestly a lot of the albums are similar enough not a ton is separating them. I thought I kind of explained it I think. Not a big fan of 'Midnight Special' or 'Cotton Fields.' Edit: TBH 'Down on the Corner' isn't one of my absolute fave singles from them either.

    “So tough” is my hot take album. It’s in my top 5. Admittedly, it could have been better. There’s a playlist on Spotify that illustrates what it might have been like if they had fleshed it out more with other songs recorded during the same era called “Alternative Carl and The Passions” that I can’t recommend enough. (And no, I did not make it). 😊

    Thanks for this. Off The Wall ahead of Bad as it should be thanks to Rod Temperton. Thriller was released in that brief era when the cassette was king and the great tracks were cleverly placed in sequence. The other astute move in the UK was not to release Human Nature as a single so you had to buy the album.

    • @ajmusic91
      @ajmusic91 5 месяцев назад

      Thanks. Yeah sequencing is key. 'Dangerous' for instance smashes five pretty similar songs all together at the start. Full third of the album has passed by with no tempo change lol.
