A lot of effort for a one yard loss

Are we all in agreement the #XPNNightBefore is the hashtag we're using again this year?

Also, quite the juxtaposition tonight. On the TV I have the Frisco Bowl (no sound-Ohio 6 - UNLV 0) and on the speaker I have Spike Jones version of The Nutcracker Suite.
Tonight! Join @djrobertdrake.bsky.social for his 33rd annual 24-hour nonstop live takeover of XPN for The Night Before from midnight to midnight. Listen live worldwide, watch it all on the JingleCam. They even have the quad speakers set up on the North Pole! Listen/watch here:

Anyway, thank you @wxpnfm.bsky.social for another great #XPNCountdown. My favorite thing you do each year and strangely enough is a great lead in to the holidays. I feel like I'm now ready to deal with Xmas.

Meh.

And I like Hendrix and this song but it's not the best cover.

Hurt was my number 1.

So I ended up with 5 of my votes on the #XPNCountdown which was one more than I thought.

All of a sudden it's 5 minutes before midnight, December 24 in my house. #XPNCountdown

Cocker's version of Little Help is an iconic cover, but not a top ten, IMHO. #XPNCountdown

Really hoping my vote for Cookin' on 3 Burners version of Enter Sandman makes the One Vote Wonders list tomorrow morning, unless someone else voted for it as well, in which case I need to find that person and buy them a drink. #XPNCountdown
You know what’s wild that I can share now with y’all? 16 different covers of Love Will Tear Us Apart got votes, none made #xpncountdown - same with 15 versions of I’m on Fire, 14 God Only Knows, 12 Wicked Games, 11 Purple Rains, 10 Enter Sandmans… lot of great songs, no definitive cover!

Did not know Jersey Girl was a Tom Waits song. #XPNCountdown

I have no shame in saying that I have always loathed the Manfred Mann version of BBTL. If I was in the car, I'd switch to another station for a minute until it was over.

Can't explain it. Just hate it. #XPNCountdown

First time I've heard the Disturbed version of Sounds of Silence. #XPNCountdown

I don't know how it came up but my wife and I got into an argument about whether Somewhere Over The Rainbow would be eligible for the #XPNCountdown. She had some convoluted argument against it.

Just got her text telling me I've been vindicated.

Won't lie....I forgot how much I loved the Yes version of America. It's righteous. #XPNCountdown
Prog Rock Cabal is what I meant #XPNCountdown

The Prof Rock Cabal brings the heat to another #XPNCountdown 😂😂😂

AHHHHHHHHHH I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS MADE IT!!! #XPNCountdown

Glad to see Superman made the top 100.

This is a truly remarkable moment. Simultaneously debunking Kristi Noem’s lie in real-time and elevating the story of a veteran who was deported under Trump & Noem’s dehumanizing, belligerent deportation policy.
MAGAZINER: How many veterans have you deported?

NOEM: We haven't deported veterans

MAGAZINER: We are now joined on Zoom by a combat veteran you deported to Korea

This get my vote for worst cover song ever. #XPNCountdown

Never heard this cover of Lola, but I am digging it. #XPNCountdown

Oh man, I remember sitting in Walt's Red Rose bar on MacDade Blvd when Neil performed this on that post 9/11 fundraiser. It was very powerful at the moment. #XPNCountdown
