The Essential Songs: Bob Dylan (Pt. 1)
Bob Dylan, Robert Zimmerman, Elston Gunnn, Boo Wilbury, The Bard, King of Folk, God of Lyricism, whatever you want to call him, he is one of the greatest things to ever happen to music. A modern blend between a Shakespeare/Beethoven icon; Bob Dylan is not just the King of Folk Rock, he is Folk Rock. His songs consist of complex lyrics that people have spent decades, some their entire lives, on trying to decipher.

My Essential Songs: Ritchie Valens
Ritchie Valens, Godfather of Chicano Rock and one of the greatest vocalists to ever live was a pioneer of classic 1950s music and one hell of a guitarist. His songs are severely underrated but I want to share with you one of my favourite singers in the whole world. As you know, Ritchie Valens was taken from us early—aged only 17-years'-old, he died in the plane crash that killed Buddy Holly and the Big Bopper. He was the youngest to die in the crash.

Playlist: 250 Songs from the 1950s
Now, I love songs from the 1950s and if I were to tell you the truth, I was meant to make this list "100 songs from the 1950s" as that is what it previously said on my handwritten notes. I got a bit carried away and realised that when I reached about 70, I still had so much more to say. I still have so much more to say now and yet, I wanted to keep this article manageable. I may do a "part two" to this playlist, but for no,w I hope you enjoy the first 250 songs that I love that came out between the years 1950 and 1959. This means that people like Bobby Vee, Bob Dylan and some of Joan Baez's music will not be making the list (cries in anger, oh god why). But, you will see some familiar faces I hope and I really do hope with all my heart that you have a lovely time reading my list and listening to my recommended 250 songs.

With The Walking Dead returning on February 10th, I felt it was appropriate to create a playlist that could put people in the mood to fight some zombies. Ranging from Johnny Cash to Imagine Dragons, epic to somber, these are songs that can strangely make us think of the undead. So, who's ready for the apocalypse?
