  • 45. 1971 Billboard Hot 100 ranked - Wildcard Episode
    Aug 11 2025

    What’s your most loved and least favorite 1971 hits?! For our latest Wildcard Episode, these 1971 babies decided to rank another huge year end countdown because our 91X 1983 episode was such a blast. On wildcard episodes like these, we end up talking about dozens of bands instead of one, so this one runs about fourteen hours long. Even Adam's "producer", David Gimbel, chimes in with his favorites of the year. Listen at WeWillRankYouPod.com, Apple, Spotify and The Way Back Machine.

  • 44. The Replacements - Shit, Shower and Shave bootleg ranked
    Jul 2 2025

    What are your most favorite and least-loved songs on the Replacements bootleg Shit, Shower and Shave? Adam chose this fan-favorite live recording by a band that Sam started steering him towards when they met in the 90s. Because they're such huge fans, there is almost an hour of fun stories about shows, corn and iconic logos plus Adam gets into the history of "Italian imports" before we even hit the ranks. Matt Tomich from the long-running Skyway mailing list joins from Switzerland to teach us about the band and share his favorites from the Connecticut stop on an infamous 1989 tour with Tom Petty. To be fittingly lofi, we "deliberately" had three separate recording issues and used our backup Zoom audio. Hear it at WeWillRankYouPod.com, Apple, Spotify or in San Francisco....definitely not LA.

  • 21. Kate Bush - Hounds of Love ranked (REUPLOAD)
    Jun 22 2025

    RATE BUSH! What are your most favorite and least-loved songs on Kate Bush's Hounds of Love? Three months before strange things catapulted Miss Bush into a new generation's consciousness, Sam had us sit down to dissect an album that most purists wouldn't dare break into separate parts. While Adam went overboard (groan) researching the second side's epic Ninth Wave song story, newbies Dan and Jim obliviously took it in like men with children in their eyes...or something. Guest rankers include keyboard guru and Abbey Road expert Brian Kehew (Moog Cookbook, The Who, Prince and more) and San Diego Music Award winner Marie Haddad from the world's greatest coverband, Baby Bushka. Hear it at WeWillRankYouPod.com, Apple, Spotify and your running shoe outlet.


    ***This episode was recorded in February of 2022, a few months before Stranger Things made Kate Bush a hero to a whole new generation and eight months before we finally edited and released it. Three years later, we received notice that we had to remove music from a dozen episodes of ours. Because we're a music podcast, we're allowed to play clips under music criticism laws so they let us keep the episodes intact. We recently noticed that this episode had disappeared though. Can't get a straight answer about why this one wasn't spared so we're re-uploading it without Kate's music. If you want to hear it in all of its original unedited glory, drop us a note on social media and we'll send it to you. We're not making a dime on this, unless you Venmo us (ahem) at WeWillRankYouPod. In fact, we buy every single song you hear on the show. We love you, Kate. It's still a fun listen without the tunes. Enjoy.


    And Dream of Sheep Under Ice, art pop, art rock, Baby Bushka, The Big Sky, Kate Bush, Cloudbusting, Fairlight CMI, the Futureheads, Peter Gabriel, Marie Haddad, Hello Earth, Hounds of Love, Jig of Life, Brian Kehew, The Morning Fog, Mother Stands for Comfort, The Ninth Wave, Outkast, progressive pop, progressive rock, Running Up That Hill (A Deal with God), Donald Sutherland, Waking the Witch, Watching You Without Me, 1985.
