Hello and welcome to our first official We Will Rank You rerun. You may have noticed that we've had to reupload some old episodes recently that were mistakenly taken down for copyright reasons. I looked at our analytics for the first time in ages and noticed that we had the biggest month we've ever had just because of one extra old episode I'd put back up. I mean, I'm already slowly putting up all of the old episodes on Youtube with fun visuals. I guess I can put up an oldie here too.
Jim chose the first one to bring back and he picked episode seven on the self-titled debut of the Stone Roses from 2021. He chose to rank each song in the order that they're on the album, which we only did one other time, for Blur's Parklife, before the others agreed that it was anticlimactic when we named our favorite song in the first few minutes. I told ya. At an hour and 57 minutes, it was our longest episode to date but a couple of episodes later, Sinead passed it by one minute and eventually our 1983 wildcard episode was our longest at nearly three hours. For years, this was our most listened to episode until it was recently taken over by our Wildcard Live Album show.
Jim writes: "The hosts agree (I think) that this is the group’s favorite album they’ve ever ranked. I maintain my album picks are the best. No one comes close." He's not right about his picks being the best but this episode probably is in a very close race with Violent Femmes for our biggest surefire lovefest, except for, spoiler alert, Dan's take on Adored, which became an oft-repeated anecdote. Here it tis.

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!

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? Since three of us hail from 1971, Dan chose this Rodrecord that divided the hosts with its boozy, bluesy goodness and raspy crooning. A must-listen for fans of the phrase “a long time”.

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. TMI abounds.

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.
