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. Listen at QuarrelmenPod.com, Apple, Spotify and...a place.

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.

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.

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. He even (again!) held up his old copy for all of our podcast listeners to see. The boys had different experiences with the Cars but all were fans of varying degrees.

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.

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).

What’s your most loved and least favorite song on Little Richard's debut album, 1957's Here's Little Richard?! We finally delve into the 1950s by talking about the oldest album we've ranked yet. Adam repeatedly circles back to himself, talking about his short European tour with the red-hot Little Richards and interviews two of its main creators: Sparkle Gail Higgins, longtime London/NY/California vintage clothing queen and Heartbreakers road manager who named her San Diego store the Girl Can't Help It and her friend Robert Lopez (El Vez), who started the wild allstar act to play at her store.

What’s your most loved and least favorite song on XTC's Oranges & Lemons album?! In the middle of our so-called hiatus, Jim again chose to rank Swindon's finest by selecting their fine 11th export. We were graced by not one but two guest rankers who witnessed the band recording the album in Los Angeles: Mike Keneally, a former Frank Zappa guitarist who played guitar on one of the album's outtakes and Gary Helsinger, the Green Jello singer and then-Tower Records employee who got to hang with the band at Summa Studios and KROQ's studios during this era.

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. Even more fun is finally recording recollections of decades of memories of one of our favorite bands of all-time since we hadn't started a podcast when we ranked Black Celebration a few years ago.
