  • 40. REQUEST EPISODE: New Order - Low-Life ranked
    Oct 13 2024

    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. Just you wait. In addition to getting tribute band opinions from San Francisco's Temptation and San Diego's Thieves Like Us (Substance responded too late to have their support for "Sunrise" be included), he got first hand accounts of 91X FM's infamous 1985 year-end countdown switcheroo from DJs Dwight Arnold, Pam Wolf and Billy Bones.

  • 39. Guided By Voices - Bee Thousand ranked
    Aug 10 2024

    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! Listen at WeWillRankYouPod.com, Apple, Spotify and your local Thighland podcast shoppe.

  • 38. Lana Del Rey's Born To Die ranked
    Jul 13 2024

    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. The Coachella lover's pick wasn't a huge surprise but it led to one of the most entertaining episodes we've ever done for sure. There's a whole lot of old men apologizing and yelling at clouds. Love or hate her, it's a really fun one! Listen at WeWillRankYouPod.com, Apple, Spotify and your local 7-Eleven.
