My Top Ten Favourite Songs by Bob Dylan (Pt. 3)
Bob Dylan's catalogue is expansive and, well, I've probably said many things about him by now. You're all probably sick to death of me talking about him, but you wouldn't be here if you really were, so I'll take that as a compliment. He's won Grammys, he's got a Golden Globe, and the man even has an Academy Award for the song "Things Have Changed."I will have to say that this series may be a bit longer to what you're used to of me. I love writing about Bob Dylan and sharing my love for him with everyone, and I would love to hear what you think of my articles and what your favourite Bob Dylan songs are too.

My Top Ten Favourite Songs by Bob Dylan (Pt. 2)
Bob Dylan's name is associated with quite possibly the greatest songwriter who has ever lived. From names like the King of Folk Rock, the God of Folk, the Voice of a Generation and even, if you're lucky, Robert Zimmerman. Bob Dylan's history has filled the memories of over four generations of humankind and will remain timeless throughout world history. He is one of the greatest and most talented people on this planet and near on every songwriter of his time and ours cannot hold a candle to him.

My Top Ten Favourite Songs by Bob Dylan
I don't normally do personal lists, but this one is personal. If I've already spoken to you on social media then you probably know what is roughly going to appear on this list. Everyone knows how much I love and adore Bob Dylan and how much I love reading and writing about him. I love the way he sings in stories, as someone who holds degrees in this stuff (see my profile) I respect the talent he has and the intelligence he gives off.

16 Modern Rock Songs to Add to Your Ultimate Running Playlist
We’ve all been there—stuck at the gym having to listen to the same selection of songs some suit in a head office has approved for revenue.

As a big runner myself, I owe so much to these songs for their existence. Collectively, these are the tracks that have stayed with me though the years, never failing to keep me going through the rough and hard times.

Discovery Playlist Vol. 1
This playlist is a part of a series called "Discovery" where I take you through my latest journey of exploring music. Each playlist is unique; some may have a specific theme, and others may be a little random. However, the process of making these playlists stays the same: I scan my music library in alphabetical order and choose an artist for each letter (This can be difficult for some letters such as Q or X, so a letter may be skipped sometimes). Once I explore each artist, I pick my favorite tracks and simply make the playlist from those songs. The results are seen below!

My Essential Songs: Frank Sinatra
Frank Sinatra was one of the most influential singers of the 20th Century and is still one of the best selling artists of all time. He has not only earned himself recognition in the field of music, but also in the field of film, having an academy award as another accolade to his name. He signed to Columbia records in 1943 and from then on, was an icon of teenage girls everywhere.

My Essential Songs: Nina Simone
Artist, activist, jazz musician, songwriter, composer—those are only some of the attributes that are attached to jazz legend, Nina Simone. North Carolinian beauty and intelligence rolled up into one, she paved the way for many jazz musicians after her, being sampled in everything from rap music to pop music. Her cultural influence is phenomenal and is spread internationally. Not many musicians can say they have had the cultural influence of Nina Simone.

My Essential Songs: Michael Jackson
Musician and humanitarian, Michael Jackson is the most famous name in all of music history. There are many accolades to his name and the awards he has won are pretty endless. This has made him the most decorated artist of all time and won him the respect of the entire music industry. He's done R&B, blues, pop, swing, dance and so much more, contributing to music much more than most of the artists around him.

My Essential Songs: Hank Williams
Hank Williams is considered to be one of the most influential cultural icons of the 20th century, when it comes to country music there is nobody that can do what Hank Williams did. Hank Williams is known as the forefather of modern country music and one of the pioneers of music of the south. Personally, I love Hank Williams for his incredible amount of style and his amazing singing voice which, at the time was so unique that the majority of male country stars since have tried to copy or use influence from his sound.

My Essential Songs: Billie Holiday
If you know me, you would know that my favourite female singer in all of history is Billie Holiday. It's hard today to find people who like her as much as I do and hardly anyone listens to her anymore, it seems. (If you do, then please get in touch—my Twitter handle is @3ftMonster—I would love to love Billie Holiday with you). Anyways, Lady Day is one of the great queens of jazz and one of the greatest singers to ever grace music with their talent.

Playlist: 250 Songs from the 1960s
This is part two of a small series I have done, part one is on the 250 songs of the 1950s. Whether I'm going to give each of these their own part twos is unknown as of yet, but welcome to the 1960s. I'm a big 40s, 50s, and 60s music fan and well, the 1960s were a very special time for a lot of people. For example: My parents were both born in the 1960s. Bob Dylan became a household name in the 1960s. There were also these four guys called John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr that... well, you probably haven't heard of them because they are a small underground band. *Laughs in Beatles*
