If I had a dollar for every time I've said, "THIS is a cover?!?" during the #XPNCOUNTDOWN ...

Another artist I didn't think about as covering other artists: The Blues Brothers. #XPNCOUNTDOWN

Willie + Rainbow Connection = a mellow, beautiful start to the #XPNCOUNTDOWN today.

Gah!! I didn't submit ANY Postmodern Jukebox to the #XPNCOUNTDOWN

Epic fail!!

These covers are giving me new appreciation for the lyrics of the original songs.

Case in point: Borderline.

Add The Fifth Dimension to this list.
Unpopular opinion? I want a cover to sound noticeably different from the original.

So far Def Leopard and Ben Folds disappoint on this criteria.

If I was in charge of the universe, Counting Crows could cover ALL the songs. The guitar! The voice! Makes me feel like a teenager again.

Yikes. This Rod Stewart cover. Not a fan. I feel like there are better versions of this song.

Do I also want all my 90s alternative covered by lounge singers? Yes.

So many songs I didn't know I needed on the #XPNCountdown

Willie Nelson doing "Blue Skies"!
Alanis covering "Crazy"!

And that Bowie/Bing collab? Put it on repeat all season long.

Rich Hill!! It's so great to see an actual "old" player still in the game and not some 30yo kid that gets described as "old."

And, yes, I, too am "old," why do you ask?
