#XPNCountdown I voted for "Where have all the good times gone" Van Halen covering the Kinks. Of course, every other cover on Diver Down made it, but personally this one is my favorite because it turned me onto the Kinks. @kristenkurtis.bsky.social

#XPNCountdown - I "scored" pretty low and am happy about it. Could I have picked all songs in the top 20? Probably easily, but I choose to pick songs that needed my votes. I think you should score more points for having songs with the least votes on the list! You are doing the heavy lifting.

#XPNCountdown My butler Geezer was right on #1 but completely missed Bonnie Raitt swooping into the top 5.
I think Hurt is #1 but my butler Geezer thinks Jimi wins.

#XPNCountdown In the words of the irreverent Kurt Vonnegut (or Nick Lowe, you choose) - So it goes
The longest cover song chains clock in at 13. There are 2 basic flavors starting with either John Mayer covering Beyonce, or Richard Thompson covering Whitney. See all 3200+ at varady.org/xpn.cfm

#XPNCountdown Still pretty sure Indigo Girls are yet to come, mostly sure R.E.M. is not done with Dead Letter Office just yet, but the rest I'm starting to feel less sure of. I voted for nostalgia over "best" but don't regret a single one on my list.

#XPNCountdown I really wanted to put Neko Case covering Catherine Irwin's Hex on my list but I didn't want to burn a vote on something I knew wouldn't place. I heard Neko do it at the Keswick a few tours back and someone nearby was crying so hard their tears landed on my face. I swear.

#XPNCountdown - everyone is familiar with the Bacon Index for movies. My Cover Song Bacon Chain builder links countdown songs by Artist/OriginalArtist to a song done by Original Artist. Longest Bacon Strips are 10 songs long. If Bob Dylan does a cover I think it might spin off into a new dimension.

#XPNCountdown - oh my. My apologies to you. I made a most grievous error. My Cover Song Bacon Chain Builder had a slight bug, and the longest Bacon Strips are 10 songs long. I updated the UI to collapse the common songs. Look what they've done to my countdown, Ma! @wxpnfm.bsky.social
