#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.

Ring of Fire is old, but I didn't realize it was in Old English.

#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

#XPNCountdown - How long will the longest chain be? There are 3 chains four songs long so far (all start with Jolene and end the same) but the Judas Priest chain is my fav because Diamonds and Rust was one of my picks.

Nothing i see - could be a odd char in there. Maybe just re-enter it? I put it in my list and it does highlight so it will work :)
