Got to have the Talking Heads represented on the one-vote wonders since they were so poorly represented on the countdown ;-) That said I am really enjoying this cover! #XPNcountdown

Ok... so my 1, 2, 3, 4, & 6 are all hitting really high then?!?! I am getting jittery! I had faith they would all make it but not all be in the top 25! Like they can't not make it so the only possibility is I am crushing it?!?!? #XPNcountdown
Here is my list. Had to flip a coin between Jump & Smells Like Teen Spirit, though honestly I could have voted every track on Paul Anka's Rock Swings they are all that good.
