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.

What’s your most loved and least favorite song on Fleetwood Mac's album Rumours?! For our third request episode, Dan's teenage nephew Esher suggested the 1977 classic and it won our public election. This second season finale turned out as epic as the album itself, with several rankings the likes of which we've never seen in our 30 episodes. Lots of fun facts and opinions and tales about the album producer getting you fired from the hosts plus the nominator nephew himself and Mara Kuge of the long-running Los Angeles AM Gold party Soft Rock Sundays.
