Set Fire to the Rain live at the Royal Albert Hall is the definitive version
Easy on Me is so underrated on these lists
agreed, 30 is her most honest album
Make You Feel My Love > the Dylan original, sorry not sorry
Someone Like You still gets me every single time, no matter how many times I hear it
Hometown Glory deserves more love, she wrote it at 16!!
Rolling in the Deep at number one is the right call, that drum stomp is iconic
Skyfall is the best Bond theme of the century and I'll die on this hill
saw her in Munich in 2024, When We Were Young had the whole place crying
