What are your five favourite albums of all time? (Image: Getty)Music is the language that connects people all over the world, it provides a soundtrack for celebrations, sad times and quite often the commute to work. Although streaming sites and social media are often where people go to to listen to music now, it's CDs and vinyls that I still opt for most of the time. Specific albums can take you back to a certain time in your life and having a physical copy that represents that will always be more special that a playlist put together on Spotify. I have made a list of five albums I think you need to listen to, if you haven't already.

At almost six minutes in length with bizarre lyrics, Bohemian Rhapsody was a huge risk for Queen.Elton John said at the time, “Are you f***ing crazy? That will never be a hit. It’s too long!”The recording sessions for their new album, A Night at the Opera, took place 50 years ago at Rockfield Studios in Wales and were recreated in the 2018 Freddie Mercury biopic Bohemian Rhapsody.Settling in, doubts over the singer’s new song were also rife within the band, with Roger Taylor reflecting: “It seemed to go on forever.“The way we would do it, all three of us would sing every part, which gave it a real thickness, a body.”Only the drummer could manage the highest “Galileos” and his patience for the specifics of Freddie’s direction soon fizzled out. Speaking with Rolling Stone, assistant engin...

Robert Plant. Saving Grace. He’s best known for fronting Led Zeppelin of course, but there is little sign of rock’n’roll sturm und drang here. ‘Percy’ Plant and his crack team of Black Country musicians sail closer to traditional folk as they re-interpret a broad range of timeless numbers. Ten tasteful tracks stretch from the melodic, albeit morbid ballad I Will Never Marry to an urgent cover of blues queen Memphis Minnie’s Chevrolet underpinned by Tony Kelsey’s guitar picking. It’s all rather beautiful. Their sublime version of The Low Anthem’s Ticket Taker is a spine-tingling duet between Plant and Suzi Dian, buoyed by Barney Morse-Brown’s swelling cello. Plant has famously worked with Alison Krauss, Sandy Denny and Patti Griffin but Dian holds her own in that prestigious company. The...

Busted and McFly have skirted around the same stages for decades. It's no wonder, considering they came up in the British pop-punk music scene at the same time, with similar music and indeed similar styles. While there have been allusions to feuds throughout the years, the bands are now fast friends - but that hasn't stopped them from putting on their biggest and most aggressive tour yet: the Busted vs McFly tour. And the first night of the show at London's O2 Arena was something to behold. This onslaught of entertainment was brought to life in a far different way than any of their gigs before. Instead of support acts and changeover times, the music began with McFly belting out their hits before Busted did the same. Then, the surprises began. First up though: McFly; And these are master...
