This is a fun rock song, and Styles brings a great energy to the track. This begins the set of songs where I said: “How could it possibly be this low on the list?” That is the difficulty with ranking Harry Styles songs, and unfortunately “Only Angel” falls here.

However, I do think the song could have used a little more substance to reach its full potential. It’s a quick 2:21 and I like the instrumental switch on the bridge a lot. “Keep Driving” feels to me like a lite version of The 1975’s “Love It If Me Made It.” The lyrics here are mostly word soup, intentionally so, touching on some societal topics with a chorus about continuing to push forward no matter what. The lyrics are simple, the guitar and tambourine are enjoyable in the instrumental, but it doesn’t move the needle on such a loaded tracklist. Much like the song before it, “Canyon Moon” just sort of falls here on the account of being pretty good, but not a major highlight in the Styles solo albums. Still, I understand its general shortcomings, and he certainly has plenty of songs better than this. “Treat People With Kindness” seems to be the consensus pick for Styles’ worst song, but I can’t help but have a little bit of a soft spot for it with just how upbeat and smile-inducing the whole thing is. “Treat People With Kindness” ( Fine Line) Why it falls near the bottom of this list for me is the lyrics that come off a bit like he is blaming women for being stuck in bad relationships, despite almost certainly having the opposite intentions.
The sound of “Boyfriends” is fine enough, with a nice acoustic melody to back it. The guitar solo is nice, but it’s not enough to save the song from a last-place finish. The chorus is just the word “woman” six times with some “la-la-la-la-la-la” additions, and there is this weird, duck-like noise throughout the lengthy track that drives me insane. I would argue that there are no bad songs in Harry Styles’ solo catalog, but “Woman” is at the bottom of the list for being his least interesting and most annoying. So, this is a formal apology to whoever’s beloved song ended up being ranked far too low. Trying to rank songs from his newest album released so recently was also a challenge. Styles has been extremely consistent in five years as a solo artist, and that made for a discography extremely difficult to put in order. There are no songs from the One Direction era here, no unreleased cuts and no other songs past what has shown up on the albums.
In honor of Harry’s House, we went through his three solo efforts and ranked his songs from worst to best. In his 35 combined songs, Styles has diversified his sound in a big way from his One Direction days, creating songs that can fit in the folk, pop or rock genres with ease. Following the release of his newest record on May 20, Styles has released three albums: 2017’s Harry Styles, 2019’s Fine Line and 2022’s Harry’s House.

They’re ranked from worst to first, though, of course, the Pistols tried to torch such bourgeois distinctions, preferring to skin us alive, which they often did.It has been more than six years since One Direction last performed together, and while all five members have released solo music, Harry Styles has managed to stand out. Meet Black Arabs and those French buskers! Solo gigs by bassist Sid Vicious after the band broke up have been bootlegged repeatedly as the “Sex Pistols.” That said, here are all of the band’s songs, i.e., those performed by at least one member of the organization and officially sold under the Pistols name. Some scraps haven’t even featured members of the band. Even before the band’s debut album, 1977’s righteous dirty bomb Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols, there has been a growing landfill of material cashing in on their murky legacy. Or at least that’s what some of us punkish disciples thought.
Despite being hostile, irresponsible flesh-and-blood post-teens, they somehow demolished pop culture and transformed it forever. Among other things, the Pistols were a multimedia culture jam, a terrorist threat, a neo-Marxist art project, a total scam, a ghostly visitation, and an exhilarating rock band (the last very unexpectedly). For a young person now trying to fathom the Sex Pistols and the pre-internet 1970s context that spat them up, a college-level course of study is almost required.
