We Will Rank You

After a lot of cataloging and shelf inventory, Adam's promise to choose an record we have all owned was delivered with Sinead O'Connor and the beautiful 1990 "IDNWWIHG" album. As she once said, "It’s not for men to like; it’s a woman’s statement." Well, we don't like it. We LOVE it. Fitting that such a personal album resulted in the most personal moment we've recorded. Opening theme remixed by mas...

Dan surprised us with a wildcard pick. Instead of choosing an album, he picked ten random hits from 1980 that we ranked and it was a BLAST! Rules are meant to be broken. Lots of heated placement debate and a fun recap of how we all started discovering popular music around 1980. Make sure to listen after the end credits for the answers and winners of our Vinyl Junkies Record Shack contest!  Pu...

Jim's lemony-fresh pick is by FAR the album that the four of us have all loved the most. That combined with Adam being the singer for a ridiculous Stone Roses coverband means that there was a LOT for us to say, resulting in our longest episode yet. However, it's a FUN one. For fans of podcasts that go track-by-track instead of our usual countdown, today is your lucky day for a special epis...

Sexiest. Episode. Ever. Sam's funky pick takes us back to purple-tinged 1984. Definitely our most well-known album we've done to date, which leads to lots of fun pop culture referencing. Please tell us how YOU would rank tonight's tunes on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter  @wewillrankyoupod ! FILE UNDER/SPOILERS: "Let's Go Crazy", Prince, purple banana, "Take Me with U", Coachella, the Time, "...

Finally, you can hear the long held secrets of how we met each other and started the podcast, followed by a quick recap of the five records we talked about before we decided to start recording our chats: Depeche Mode-Black Celebration, The Cure-Head On The Door, INXS-Kick, Tears For Fears-Songs From The Big Chair and the Pretty In Pink soundtrack. Our abridged life stories are fascinating but when...

What are the least-loved and most-loved lovesongs on Love's third record, Forever Changes? Listen closely and you'll hear Adam's grin, listening to his friends quote and sing songs they'd never heard just a couple of weeks before. Our first time talking about Americans and the sixties with THREE wide-ranging, virgin impressions of this 1967 folk-rock classic. Longtime Love guitarist Rusty Squeezeb...

What are the best and worst songs on Radiohead's OK Computer? Between the four of us, we've witnessed quite a few memorable shows of theirs and were affected by this album in all kinds of interesting ways. By far our longest and most heartfelt episode to date. Just too much to say!  All seven of the albums we've ranked previously were from the 80s, so it's nice to finally march out into anoth...

What are the worst and first songs on the Smiths' classic third record, the Queen is Dead? We were all in southern California for peak-Mozmania, so there's lots to tell, even if Adam forgot to brag about seeing Morrissey's very first US show in San Diego. By far our most passionate episode to date, including the chats we had before we started recording them for podcasts. Please tell us how YOU wou...

What are the best and worst songs on the fourth album by the Police, Ghost In The Machine?  Lots of strong, varied opinions in our debut episode about the biggest band of the early 80s. Please tell us how YOU would rank tonight's tunes on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter  @wewillrankyoupod ! FILE UNDER/SPOILERS: Spirits in the Material World, new wave, Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic...
