B Movies Blog

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping some of my favorite albums into the ol’ VCR. 

I love doing lists of my favorite things for all of you. We’ve looked at the YouTube channels I’m subscribed to as well as my podcast feed. And, I plan to share more of my favorites with you throughout the year. 

It’s really fun for me to look back on the content and media I enjoy because a lot of these albums have memories attached. Some of these albums have been my favorites for decades (From Under the Cork Tree turns 20 next year, and I feel ill), while others are more recent additions. 

Regardless of when they became my favorites, I feel like most of these hit me at very specific points in my life. For example, Doolittle became one of my favorite albums when I was at a very low point in my life while All Their Greatest Hits became a regular listen when I was at one of my favorite jobs I’ve ever had. 

As an added bonus, here’s one of my favorite songs of all time. Yes, I’m serious.

Now listen, there are other albums I LOVE. For example, I love Taylor Swift’s folklore. However, it’s not on this list because it just doesn’t hit the same as these other albums. I can’t explain it. 

Don’t get me wrong. I love Taylor, but there’s just something different about the other albums I have listed below; I find a level of comfort in these albums that I don’t in other albums I love. (The feminine urge to add “if that makes sense” to the end of the previous sentence.) 

Before we get into my list, though, there’s an album I want to call attention to for a very sweet and sentimental reason. Miley Cyrus’s Bangerz will always have a special place in my heart because KP loved it. 

In fact, she loved it so much that I bought her the CD for her truck, and we listened to it when I was visiting. She also blared it when she was running errands because it made her think of me. 

“FU” was one of KP’s favorite songs on the album. Again, yes, I’m serious.

It will always put a smile on my face, and “Drive” is one of my favorite Miley Cyrus songs of all time.
