As we celebrate the 10-year anniversary of Frank Ocean's game-changing album, Blonde, we're looking back at the eclectic list of ‘all-time favorite songs’ that Ocean included as part of his Boys Don't Cry magazine, which accompanied the album.

Ocean paid homage to 50 iconic tracks, including ‘I Am The Walrus’ by The Beatles, ‘Vibrate’ by OutKast, ‘When U Were Mine’ by Prince and ‘Boys Don't Cry’ by The Cure.

But nestled amidst the genre-spanning list, which incorporates a host of songs from R&B, Hip Hop, rock and further afield, you'll spot a classic country gem - Willie Nelson's ‘Stardust’.

It serves as the title-track from Nelson's bold 1978 album of the same name, which saw the Outlaw Country trailblazer covering an array of American pop and jazz classics.

It's not difficult to see why Ocean, who has become synonymous with his experimental, boundary-pushing approach to music, would be drawn to Nelson's ‘Stardust’.

That project arrived at a time when Nelson was cementing himself as one of the most prominent figures in the Outlaw Country scene. To then turn his hand to pop and jazz recordings was deemed by many label executives as a tremendous risk.

But ultimately, it was a leap of faith that paid off, with Stardust remaining one of the most revered projects in the country music canon, as well as becoming Nelson's best-selling album. It spent an incredible 10 years on the Billboard country charts.

With this week marking the 10th anniversary of Blonde, you can't help but feel that Ocean's genre-defying project will - much like Stardust - stand the test of time. Although the mysterious California native hasn't released another album in those 10 years, his influence on the modern music landscape remains undeniable. While Nelson's traditional-leaning catalogue might feel like the polar opposite of Ocean's futuristic textures, there's no question that these two mavericks share a refreshing desire to think outside the box and propel music into new territory.
