Favorite Albums And Songs – First Quarter 2019
Can you believe the list-pocalypse is already upon us? No, it’s not December yet, but certain music outlets are known for releasing quarterly lists to share their favorite albums and songs of a calendar year. I’m always a fan of Farce The Music’s take on it. The Musical Divide doesn’t really do that. Instead, I… Read More Favorite Albums And Songs – First Quarter 2019
The Musical Divide’s Top Albums Of 2018
We’ve arrived to the final list at The Musical Divide for 2018. Of course, nobody needs another one of these lists to read, but I’d like to think my list is more than just a “list.” In a way, I’ve got the benefit of running a blog rather than a professional outlet. I’m free to… Read More The Musical Divide’s Top Albums Of 2018
The Musical Divide’s Honorable Mentions For Best Albums Of 2018

The Musical Divide’s Top 50 Songs Of 2018 (Part One)
The Musical Divide’s third list of five launches today. While crafting an artistic statement in the form of an album is important, crafting an excellent song is arguably harder. Albums give artists an average of half an hour to an hour (typically) to win you over. Meanwhile, songs have to do the same job within… Read More The Musical Divide’s Top 50 Songs Of 2018 (Part One)
The Musical Divide’s Worst 20 Singles Of 2018
While not my personal favorite list to make, the worst of mainstream country music in a calendar year always makes for an interesting discussion. This year though, the problems were more directed at the industry itself rather than the songs. There were a lot of boring, generic, mediocre singles released this year, but the list… Read More The Musical Divide’s Worst 20 Singles Of 2018
The Musical Divide’s Top 20 Singles Of 2018
It’s that time of the year again. The list-pocalypse will soon arrive to haunt us all. While I plan on waiting to release my songs and albums lists until Jan. 2019, singles are a bit of a different animal. To be eligible for my “best singles” list, the single had to be released anywhere from… Read More The Musical Divide’s Top 20 Singles Of 2018
