After the absolute marathon that was listening to almost 500 Prince tracks last month I felt like I needed to keep it simple this month. I wanted something fun, light and upbeat as it can be quite a task listening to 30 odd albums in depth each month. So I went ahead and chose...
For the seventh playlist in The Legend Slot I’m continuing on with the theme of royalty. We had Queen last month but now it’s time for funk legend Prince. Prince: A Brief History Born in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1958, Prince (born Prince Rogers Nelson) was a singer-songwriter, producer, actor and filmmaker who was regarded...
We’re officially halfway through The Legend Slot! For the sixth playlist I’ve gone back to the bands to bring you some of the best tracks by rock legends, Queen. Before we start though I wanted to give a shout out to the woman who was supposed to play the real life Legend Slot at...
Fifth playlist in The Legend Slot lets goooo! I’m back to the solo artists for this month and am taking you through rock and pop legend David Bowie. David Bowie Born in London in 1947, David Bowie (born David Robert Jones) was a singer-songwriter and actor considered to be one of the most influential...
For the fourth playlist in The Legend Slot, I decided it was about time I featured a band. So far we’ve had Elton John, Kylie Minogue and Aretha Franklin. All completely different genres of music but all solo artists. We’ve had pop rock, full on pop and soul so far…and now I’m bringing you...
The queen of soul is here for my third playlist in The Legend Slot. That’s right Lady Soul herself, Aretha Franklin, is the third legend in this years series. In the words of the great Jack Black (in what is one of my favourite films EVER) “Everyone wants to party with Aretha!’. So, despite...
With February coming to an end it’s officially time for the next playlist in my new 2020 blog series The Legend Slot. Last month I kicked off the series with a 35-track playlist of what I thought were Elton John’s greatest tracks. I listened to every one of his studio albums throughout the month...
The monthly playlists are back baby! After the success of last years monthly music series I knew I had to carry on with the regular playlists this year too. Last year I had Music Monthly which you might have been following along with throughout 2019. (and if you haven’t listened yet then make sure...
I have to admit I spent a lot of time debating what genre of music to focus on for my final playlist of the year. I’ve tried to feature a bit of everything throughout this series, from Jazz to Funk to Ambience to Disco, and hopefully there’s been something for everyone. While I was...
I cannot believe we’re up to the penultimate playlist of my 2019 Music Monthly series already. If you’ve been following from the beginning then thank you for listening along each month! And if this is the first playlist you’ve come across in the series then you’ll want to head riiight back to here. (see...
