RANDUMB ALBUMB RANKINGS

For those who were looking forward to new episodes for the rest of the year, I have some unfortunate news to share.  And this has actually been brewing for the last year.  Don't worry, I'm not dying.  And yes, J.C. is still my wife/producer.  However, there have been some changes and other goings on in my life that are going to cause me to consider a difficult decision going forward.  Please listen and try to understand. Thank you for keeping the podcast alive for 3 great seasons!  I'll see you soon!  Please continue to follow the podcast on Instagram @randumb.albumb . --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/randumb-albumb/message

Grunge Icons, The People's Rock Band, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees.  These are just few of the descriptions that describe Pearl Jam for over 30 years!  Whether it was sticking it to Ticketmaster or opening eyes and ears of listeners to what's going on in their own backyard and beyond, Eddie Vedder and company have lead the charge with no signs of stopping.  Even their live shows including their most recent tour (which ended in the US a few weeks ago) have been hailed as religious experiences (and they have the Bootleg Live shows on CD to prove it!)  There are many people who will argue when this episode ends this week.  But there will be reasons for my placements of their 11 albums.  Tune in, call up "Jeremy", finish making that "Wishlist", be nicer to that "Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town" and feel happy to be "Alive"!  This week, I review and rank the amazing discography of Pearl Jam!

This version of this week's episode is available on most streaming services and includes no song clips. This has been re-uploaded due to technical glitches in the system during recording of my #1 pick (how appropriate! HAHAHA) and has now been rectified.  My apologies for any inconveniences. Heading up to Duluth, Minnesota this week with the best band to come out of the area.  Since 1993, Low (led by Al Sparhawk) have been one of the most legendary indie rock acts that have had one of the most devoted cult followings ever.  Not just in their hometown, but around the world as well.  This week, we take a deep dive into the genre known as 'Slowcore' and discuss the eclectic discography that has garnered rave reviews over the years including back-to-back Year End Lists on Pitchfork for their albums "Double Negative" (2018) and "Hey What" (2021).  While it may be cold up dere (eh?) where you are, the discussions I'm sure will heat up once this week's podcast is over.    Follow this podcast on Instagram @randumb.albumb to keep up-to-date on future episodes, music news, and everything in between. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/randumb-albumb/message

A band that most people tended to let slip under the radar for over 20 years.  Yet, they are one of the best bands from the emo genre that tended to focus on the positive than the usual whiny lyrics from that era.  Even more so that they reunited in 2019 after what was supposed to be a permanent breakup 5 years prior.  The reactions to the reunion tour and the release this year of the EP Silvermine (Their first album of new material since 2014) have shown that Anberlin are FAR from done.  Led by Stephen Christian, the Florida based rock band have wowed audiences with their lyrical content, energetic live shows, and phenomenal musicianship that makes one wonder WHY OH WHY are they still not known by the masses!!!  This week, I will tackle their discography and rank their albums from worst to best.  In addition, I will also give my two cents on the new EP.  Tune in to find out how your favorite Anberlin album ranked! Topics discussed: Christianity, Warped Tour, Hidden gems --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/randumb-albumb/message

With a version only on Spotify, this is an ALL SERVICE version of the episode dedicated to the Band Heart. EPISODE 67: HEART (AND THE FUTURE OF RANDUMB) Back after a month long hiatus and it feel so good!  It's fall, weather's cooler, and the episodes will be coming in hot and fast!  Starting with this episode, you will get a BRAND NEW episode of Randumb Albumb Rankings for the remainder of the year (including RandumBonus episodes and Best/Worst of episodes).  This week, I wanted to tackle the discography of one of the most successful female-fronted musical groups of all time: Heart!  Fronted by sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson, this band has had many ups and downs (including a nasty implosion between the siblings themselves in 2016).  But through it all, Heart has sold 35 million albums worldwide, amassed 20 Top 40 hits (Two of which went to #1), and pioneers in breaking genre barriers during their near six decades of activity!  Tune in this week to find out where I rank the discography of the Seattle, Washington band Heart!  Also on this week's podcast, I have some news I have to share with you and this news will determine the future of Randumb Albumb Rankings going forward.  I've done some thinking these last few weeks I've been out and at this time, this is something that NEEDS to be brought to your attention.  Tune in and find out.  Follow this podcast on Instagram @randumb.albumb to stay updated on future episodes, music news and a little bit in between. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/randumb-albumb/message
