Ranker Rationale! Holiday Shopping Edition
Your (semi) weekly guide to one man's rankings.
The calender has turned to December once again and we can observe all the familiar sights. And I'm not talking about the Cowboys fighting their way to 8-8 or the Raiders steady implementation of the phrase "just lose baby", oh no. I'm of course speaking about the annual American capitalistic orgy that begins around thanksgiving. The NFL has tried to get in on the craze by running an ad showing the lamest, bandwagon-iest family in football. (The kid who likes the Steelers because he ate a pun-named burger would get so much shit from his friends). Not to be outdone, here at Ranker Rationale Headquarters we have a whole new marketplace where you can find the best gift for that special fan on your list. While we can't get to all of the fantastic deals today, here are the four staff favorites.

Lions: Kid Rock: History of Rock CD, $10.50
Before I say anything else, put your pitchforks away Lions fans, I have them ranked 5th this week. But that said, you can understand why people are so hesitant to trust this team. I was one of the disbelievers for a while but I came around during the Miami game and have had them high ever since. Although a change at the offensive coordinator spot would likely be beneficial, this is still a very dangerous team, especially since they're really only scratching the surface of their potential. Plus, like Mr. Rock himself, this is a very disrespected team. Unjustly disrespected teams are very dangerous in a fashion similar justly disrespected rockers: they're loud, they're, proud, they'll bludgeon you with their product.

Broncos: TARDIS Time Machine, $1,000,000,000
Just so you can go back to 2006 and kidnap prime Peyton Manning, Demarcus Ware, and let's go ahead and throw in a complementary Champ Bailey. They'd at least stop the visions of Seahawks and Rams dancing over the Broncos in my head.

Redskins: The QB Showdown T-Shirt, $35
If you bought the time machine for the Broncos fan you could first use it to head back to 2012, when RGIII was the savior-apparent in DC and the Redskins wanted to take advantage of that by
buying him an offensive lineselling $35 dollar t-shirts to commemorate a pre-season game. I think everything that is wrong with the Redskins can be summarized by that sentence. It's an organization built on selling hype and then focusing on monetizing that hype instead of attempting to convert it into something sustainable.In my rankings I highly value well coached and well run teams, almost always deferring to them at the top. Teams like those aforementioned Broncos, the Cardinals, the Eagles - they all give you the feeling that you can plug in just about anyone in the lineup and they'll find a workable solution (except Oniel Cousins, nobody can make a useful player out of Oniel Cousins).
**
Rams: Two Face Mask, $5.50
The Rams are big movers in my rankings this week, stampeding up to #16 on the back of a dominating win against the lifeless Raiders. Gifting this mask to your favorite Rams fan allows them to express their inner split resultant from their Rams fandom. It seems the Rams go from week to week oscillating between a decently talented team with glaring quarterback problems (a la the Buccaneers) and a young gang of hellaciously talented players (think 2011 Seahawks). Often times the team will flip between the two over the course of the game.
The truth, like most cases, lies somewhere in the middle of that binary. I know it's been said plenty of times before, but when this team finally gets a quarterback (or has one stay healthy through the season) I think we're looking at a truly dangerous contender.

had to look this up, it's on this compilation!
I think this is it : https://www.amazon.com/Golden-Age-Black-Music-1960-1970/dp/B000002IN3
Side note: I do have some of their stuff after all from this CD
Sounds a little like Grazing in the Grass.

or

There is an instrumental or a lyrics version....

How about music that shouldn't be pay to download, i.e. music that has been around for 100s of years?
On another note most of the music I like is nigh impossible to find to buy. Basically I can download it or I can buy it from a website where I have no assurance that any of the money -- usually an outrageous amount for import CDs -- actually goes to a particular artist, that is if they have the artist at all. Sure there are alternative means like getting an itunes Japan/other country card, (there still is the language barrier to deal with) or waiting until a domestic version is released, which will never happen for most bands/artists, or even from certain people who bring imports over to sell at conventions, none of which are in a relatively close distance.
Even if I import music I have to worry that it won't play on my computer, some Japanese CDs have "we must contact a server in Japan" DRM and other such silliness, or even customs confiscating my package.
Sure it's easy for you folks that enjoy domestic music, or just music in English, you can just get online to some place that is easy to navigate and find what you want, however for me most of the time it is difficult to find music I want to download, let alone buy.
Sure, if music I wanted was readily available in a easy to access way to buy, I would do it, but it isn't so I'm not going to go through the rigmarole and inflated import prices just to make myself feel better about burning a hole in my pocket.
Now, some foreign artists have had releases over here and I've bought them in order to support more coming over, but they are few and far between, also itunes US does have some music from places that I might enjoy, but not in the sheer quantity I can find on the internet.
I have only bought things that I have already listened to and enjoyed, I figure that is the way most buy music, and until there is a radio station with music I would enjoy listening to I will still download just to get a preview and see if I enjoy it enough to buy.
Just as a few examples:
This is a relatively cheap import. That is from an older band and most of the newer CD imports are a bit more pricey, like here, here, and here.
Here's another version of the same song
My favorite live version of Can't You See appears on the Searching for a Rainbow album. Check it out if you get a chance.
