The boys have a crack at defining post punk while listening to some of the genre's greatest songs.

Jamie and Jon take a trip into the world of psychedelia, stopping along the way to select a few great tunes. Just watch out for the white rabbit...

Best songs of the 1950s

It's the end of the album as we know it

Alcohol. Discuss. With music.

We've been away for a bit (I am mostly to blame) but here we are with a scintillating (is that spelt proper?) episode of RR! This time around the block we discuss and mostly, calmly give our thoughts on the best Super Groups according to us! And only us!

In these troubling times, we must try and keep things as positive as possible. Unless you are Jon. Top positive and negative songs, according to Random Rankings!

To celebrate our final ever podcast on Heavy Metal (that's a promise) we transport ourselves back to (mostly) the 80's for a bit of nostalgic hair metal chat and tunes.

Continuing from the last episode where it was all about Jon, this time round we celebrate the year of his birth! Welcome to Rankfest '71. Best songs from that year! Nailed it!

For explained personal reasons I have been out of action for a while, so left to his own devices Jon decides to go it alone and subject me to this nonsense! I sit there and listen to his favourite heave metal covers, in his element he is!

If Aliens landed, these (apparently) are the 10 pieces of music we would play them, well 20 actually, as we've 10 each, for a change. I play great tunes, Jon's are mostly odd. There's drinking too.

Its a bit more complicated than just instruments! We will explain in the podcast. Its another music one (quel surprise) and its I think rather amusing.

Seeing as currently Australia is in a never ending existential funk, it felt only appropriate that we discuss Existential Crisis. Not a music one, more a talky one! Enjoy!

Logical conclusion to the 90's trilogy. We try and outwit each other on whose cooler when it comes 90's dance and hip hop. Vibez!!!

Our trip down 90's memory lane continues. This time around we argue about our favourite Grunge and Hard Rocks songs from the decade of the 9-0!

The studio has found a new home and with that comes the first of 3 podcasts about the 90's. First up its Indie & Pop! Yes that's britpop, shimmery guitars and Jon getting emotional. I also sing a bit! Quite a lot actually.....

We here at RR debated whether to put this one out, purely based on the fact that at points we are laughing too much to speak. So we found this very funny, you may not, but as always you decide dear listener! Latest episode we discuss and mock the worst song lyrics! Enjoy?

I suppose it was inevitable that at some point we would get to covering Hip Hop and our favourite tracks. The winning track / artist was a surprise to us both, surprisingly! So here we go RR number 35, Hip Hop!!

The dynamic due of Jamie and Jon this time around tackle their favourite tv theme tunes. For the brits amongst you, spoiler alert!! Minder does not win! I know it was a shock to me too!!

Heads down, boots a swinging! Part 3 of the biggest festival since Glasto! The dance tent!

Part 2 of Rankfest and we are at the main stage. Be warned, there's whisky!!

Here at Random Rankings we thought it only right we create our own virtual musical festival, as its the best anyone can do at the moment with various restrictions around the globe. Part one is the Rock Stage, don't worry still the same amateur production and pointless chat. Almost as pointless as the first presidential debate for 2020! Almost.

Role reversal time! Jamie does top ten 10 songs with Jon/John/Johnny in the title or by an artist with Jon or a derivation thereof! Jon does the same but for Jamie! Confused? You will be. Warning: Bro Country song in the playlist.

Not music related for once! Sort of!

The age old eternal battle between good and evil condensed in to a delightful podcast of the RR kind! And if you had not guessed already its songs based on good and evil! Press play dear listener!

The greatest ever tunes made by Australian and New Zealand artists or bands. Its a competition, who will reign supreme mate / bro!

We be locked down!

Bit of digital spring cleaning! John wants to tell the world about all the wonderful music he's found on his digital musical library, before he deletes them out of his life! Heresy!!!!

Ah the love of all things Animal! Favourite songs with animals in them and the tenuous links therein. Utter nonsense, but it was fun!

The 80's were our formative years! There was lots of crapness mixed with a healthy does of greatness. A mixture of both here, as we celebrate the best songs of the 80's!!!

All the singer ladies! Now put your hands up! That was sidekick John's line not mine, thankfully. Good list, listen on, you simply must!!

It seemed only fair we did the other way round too!

Seek and ye shall find! We discuss the worst the songs by the great bands and musicians of our times. Hint about the winner, its a small animal!

Not sure why we are calling this one Philsophy, but we try and get deep!!

Jamie & sidekick John discuss their favourite first tracks on any album. That is apart from compilations, and albums or songs that have been in their favourite lists previously. They also attempt to go a bit multimedia on yo ass. With mixed results. Enjoy

RR number 17 is ready for your listening pleasure. Sidekick John has decided we should discuss and review Twins! This episode is sponsored by Random Rankings.

Special guest alert! We are joined this week by our mate Johnny Manus to debate one hit wonders of the world! Sidekick John gets impressed by Johnny's research and I get picked on!

Our friend Chris joins us for a bit of lively chat before he leaves Sydney for the NSW North Coast. As he's a dedicated family man we thought it only right we discuss Kids TV. The good, the bad and the insane!

Sidekick John is very excited about this one. Devil horns in the air! Metal!!

Annoyingly sidekick John comes at this subject with a slightly different angle! But's its OK he does quite well but my list is ultimately Ace!

We balance our loves of music and film, back to film this time! The crappest of the crap! Interspersed with a Jamie (I) beat down about Grease! Peace be with you all! (def including Labyrinth!)

John thought he won this discussion! I categorically disagree! Top 10 slow jamz, discuss! Whats yours?

More muso chat from Jamie and sidekick John, this week they attempt their favourite songs ever! Forever ever, forever ever ever!

Praise be, sidekick John has returned from his holidays and we can resume this nonsense! This week we get fully muso geeked up and talk about our favourite albums ever! My list is infinitely better than John's! Enjoy Random Rankers around the world!!

Sidekick John and Jamie discuss their adopted country and why they still call it home. See what i did there?

As original britons, Jamie and John reflect on their Britishness (is that a word?). Late summer nights, pubs and the May Day Pole (cool!)

John and I discuss Gazza, John's sprinting career and feeling very Australian for the first time! Greatest Sporting Moments! Obvs!

Pro bull riding and John tries to convince me that he can save all Hoarders! He is definitely wrong!

We discuss mostly the best of times, and a bit about the worst of times.

Jamie and John discuss their fashion faux pas and everyone else's.
