In the first episode of Ranking Highs and Lows you will meet the two fans behind the project, get to understand why we think ranking 147 a-ha songs from worst to best is even a good idea in the first place and of course find out what we think are the 22 most shameful lowlands of a-ha’s otherwise magnificent catalogue as we count down from 147 to 126 on the list.
In this episode you will also witness how we break our own song inclusion criteria already from the start and hopefully see how barely produced demos and over-produced schmaltz can go together on the walk of shame. You will also get to hear which demo sounds like a distant second cousin to a much beloved single B-side.
It’s not all bad though as you will also get to know which demo features rather nice backing vocals by Magne and which song arguably could have been a big hit if it had featured Nelly Furtado.
If you prefer to read rather than listen to us talking away you can also read our take on the songs on our blog.

You can also join the discussion on Facebook where we’d love to hear your train of thought.

We have also created a Spotify playlist with the songs ranked according to our list. So if you want to listen to a-ha’s minor lows and major highs.
