    49. Oasis - The Masterplan ranked

    What's your most loved and least favourite song on the Oasis b-sides collection the Masterplan? FINALLY, our long awaited Oasis episode and Jim threw us a curveball choosing this collection with some of his favorite Gallagher tunes. SHIELDS UP as he takes on two non-fans for a fookin' Brit battle. Adam was the singer of North America's first(?) Oasis coverband, the short-lived parody the Fookin' Wankers, but he loves taking the piss, so he and Dan cranked up the willpower trying not to buzzkill Jim's superfandom TOO badly. Lots of fun show tales from San Francisco's tiny, infamous Britpop royalty/meth supply show to their biblical Rose Bowl reunion gathering. Legendary Denver Britpop/soul DJ Tyler Jacobson reads our closing credits and weighs in as our guest ranker and...more.

    POD STEWART! What are your most favorite and least-loved songs on Rod Stewart's classic album Every Picture Tells A Story?

    What's your most loved and least favourite song on Cocteau Twins' 1990 album Heaven or Las Vegas? Ranking such a semi-wordless shimmery masterpiece was a strange, wonderful experience.

    27. Madonna - Immaculate Collection ranked (musicless reupload, original episode now on Youtube)

    What’s your most loved and least favorite song on Madonna's Immaculate Collection?! For the last of our four-episode series of Greatest Hits episodes, Dan chose the best-selling solo artist collection of all-time. Good times ranking songs we're all familiar with but not huge fans of.  Unsurprisingly, these four straight white males still had lots of fun things to say and recall about the ever-present queen. This was recently removed for third-party copyright for reasons we can't figure out. Still fun without the Madonna tunes or you can listen with the Music on Youtube. Listen at WeWillRankYouPod.com, Apple, Spotify and your local dancefloor.  Follow us and weigh in with your favorites on Facebook, Instagram and Threads @wewillrankyoupod .

    The Quarrelmen Beatles podcast debut! Please Please Me ranked at Abbey Road Studios

    Adam: You may have heard me talking here a couple of weeks ago about the Quarrelmen Beatles miniseries I’m doing. It's my birthday so I’m birthing it everywhere you get your podcasts plus I’m putting the first episode here too to tempt you into subscribing. You’re not gonna be able to resist after hearing this episode that we did at none other than Abbey Road Studios when my band Stones n Roses was on tour there back in 2021. I told the other We Will Rank You hosts I’d have all the Beatles albums ranked within a year. Four years later, I’ve only recorded about half of them but here they come!  You’re not going to see any more episodes here until the one where all four OG hosts ranked- Well I’m not telling you which one. You’ll have to wait and see and if you want to hear Jim and I rank an album in Liverpool, you’ll just have to figure out how to spell Quarrelmen and go subscribe, won’t you? WON’T you? We’re on Facebook, Instagram and Threads too so do the thing. Breaking up the band to start a solo career? Nah but, for now, here’s the Fab Four….  THE QUARRELMEN PODCAST #1 Please Please Me ranked at Abbey Road What’s your most loved and least favorite song on the first Beatles album?! One, two, three, FAH! The Quarrelmen Beatles podcast miniseries kicks off with England's own Richard Merrett (Airhead/the Wilsons) and his young sons Frank and George Merrett ranking Please Please Me in the most famous studio in the world.  Recorded back in 2021 at the end of the last Stones n' Roses UK tour, the California band recorded a version of "Revolution 9" with 1960s microphones used by "the boys" and Beatles Anthology, Rock Band and Love engineer Chris Bolster with Joe Wyatt (now Giles Martin's assistant). After a quick photoshoot of the band walking across THE street, singer Adam Gimbel welcomed the Merretts into the cozy Gatehouse studio to record the very first episode of the Quarrelmen. He had no idea it would be four busy, crazy years before the world would hear it. The kids are now senior citizens. The results are, quite simply, the most endearing Beatles podcast episode ever immortalized at Abbey Road....or anywhere else. Decades of fandom and childlike wonder collide with memories and a ranking of least and most favorites on the 1963 classic debut.
