What’s your most loved and least favorite song on Jellyfish's Spilt Milk?!  Jim picked the 1993 favorite by the band that Dan says unites us the most. Between the four of us, we saw the band close to 30 times in just three years but it was Adam that started a website about the band, helped write their boxed set liner notes and....it's complicated. As a result of a whole lotta fun stories, the ranking doesn't start until the 32 minute mark. So close your eyes and get comfortable because we got Roger Joseph Manning Jr, Tim Smith, Eric Dover, Jason Falkner and superfan Pablo Melons to chime in with their most and least loved songs on the album.

What’s your most loved and least favorite song on Shake It Up?! Sam picked The Cars' fourth album to rank, group-average style.

Ah, the bizarre love/hate life of the New Order fan. What’s your most loved and least favorite song on Low-Life?! For our fourth Request Episode Election, we went through dozens of listener suggestions to nominate Joe Jackson's Look Sharp, Jane's Addiction's Ritual de lo Habitual and this 1985 Manchester classic, which won in a landslide election. While half of us moaned about the album choice from our mystery nominators (MIA), we all had lots of great memories to share of adoring and rolling our eyes at NO. Superfan Sam hosted and held up lots of New Order vinyl, old tshirts were dusted off and Adam delivered an avalanche of guest rankers, starting with internationally-loved San Diego superstars Koi Division, who donned their iconic fish heads for a filmed interview. Days later, he visited Gold Diggers Sound in Los Angeles to chat with Dave Trumfio of the synth-lovin' Pulsars, whose lone 1997 debut/farewell album has finally recently been reissued. The two full interviews will be on our Youtube channel. Ju

What’s your most loved and least favorite song on Guided By Voices' 492nd album Bee Thousand?! Adam overcame his fear of assigning a 20 song record because he felt we needed to do more indie classics. Fun to hear his three co-hosts' take on a challenging 1994 lo-fi listen that was once named by Amazon music writers as the #1 indie album of all-time. We get a surprise Zoom visit from longtime 91X program director Garett Michaels (check out an extra ten minutes of his golden throat soon on Youtube) and remote opinions from Jon Wurster (Superchunk/Mountain Goats/Best Show) and Scott McCaughey (Young Fresh Fellows).  Request episode results before the end credits!

What’s your most loved and least favorite song on Lana Del Rey's Born To Die?! When Dan said "This is going to be a long night," he wasn't kidding.

NEW EPISODE UP! What’s your most loved and least favorite song on Depeche Mode's Memento Mori album?! We were prepping to take a year off but Sam's suggestion to rank DM's latest before it was even released was too tempting to not do ASAP. It still took us weeks to record and almost a year to release but it's fun to hear our fresh reactions.

Adam came up with a fun way to finally talk about our namesake song: kicking off a four-episode series of Greatest Hits episodes! You’ll never guess where we ranked WWRY. It's only the best-selling album in UK history. You've probably never heard of it. Shockingly, none of us are huge fans, despite having so many fun stories and opinions that this became our longest show to date! One of us even needed to be reminded that they worked for Queen’s record label. Three of us went to high school with guest ranker Ken Dow, who shared his amazing Queen For A Day tale with us.

What's your most-loved and least favorite song on Big Country's The Crossing? Sam takes us to Scotland to rank their debut album. The rest of the hosts are fairly uninitiated which makes for interesting reactions all around. Jim and Adam silently celebrate their vaccinations by stupidly trying to record in the same room for the first time, so you might hear a slight echo echo in parts parts. HUP!

In a heated race, Blur emerged victorious in our first-ever request episode. Suggested by our friend Molly in Boston, the 1994 British classic beat out over 40 other suggestions in a public vote. The 16-track LP is the longest album we've ever done but we tore through it, despite some fun surprise interruptions. Lots of strong opinions and amusing tales, including the time Sam and Adam squeezed into a tiny club with the band to watch up-and-comers Oasis.

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 mashup legend DJ Riko. Please tell us how YOU would rank tonight's tunes on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter  @wewillrankyoupod !

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.

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 episode on this 1989 classic. Special guests include 33 1/3 Stone Roses author Alex Green from Stereo Embers podcast and F#!kin' In The Bushes DJ Daniel Sant!

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.

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 we tackle the best and worst songs of five 1980s classics in an hour, sparks FLY.

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 Squeezebox was even kind enough to offer his opinion of the top tune.  Some technical gremlins kept this from being audiophile-perfect but it's still probably our most entertaining episode to date, thanks to some editing help from Jim's son.

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 another decade, though our British streak continues with Dan's pick.

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.
