Buckley at 3? Pleasant surprise. Now Hurt by Cash has to be #1, right? #XPNCountdown

Sweet Jane at 17. Loved this whole album. #XPNCountdown

Damn, I was really hoping one Tom Waits song would make the top 20. Still the best proposal story ever. #XPNCountdown

Will somebody please burn down the Denny’s on the mainline so the ProgRockCabal can’t plan to torture us in every countdown? Yes doing Simon & Garfunkel? #XPNCountdown

I’m with you @rahrahraina.bsky.social , all the covers of Hallelujah fall short from Leonard’s original. #XPNCountdown #canibecanadian

Throw REM’s Superman in the “Cover eclipses original” box for me. #XPNCountdown

Has every track from Led Zeppelin IV now made the list in one way or another? #XPNCountdown #Stillwaiting4tomwaitsprops

Hound Dog hits different when sung by a mid-talent white guy. #XPNCountdown

Starting off strong with Johnny Cash at 120 and Lana Del Rey at 119. I’m calling Cash’s Hurt as #1 now. #XPNCountdown

Any day that ends with the Clash is a good day. Thanks @wxpnfm.bsky.social You are the best of public radio. #XPNCountdown

A remix of a cover? Seems like a two-fer to me. Still love it. 123 American Woman. #XPNCountdown

Am I completely off base or is @rahrahraina.bsky.social the voice of this countdown? #XPNCountdown
December 10, 2025 at 11:21 PM
I gotta say this ranking of one song is spot on. #XPNCountdown

Clapton is quite possibly the most over-hyped POS in British history. #XPNCountdown

My 4th song made it! Ol’ 55! Tom Waits is still under-represented. #XPNCountdown

Sinead doing Nirvana!! This one is awesome. #XPNCountdown

Peter Gabriel’s voice always puts me in my feels. #XPNCountdown

Odds Johnny Cash’s cover of Hurt wins this whole thing? #XPNCountdown
December 10, 2025 at 2:31 PM
Just perfect for the ride home. #XPNCountdown

Al Green’s cover of Perfect Day is one of my faves. Hearing it makes for a perfect day. #XPNCountdown

Remember that day in music class where they taught you how to start AND END a song? Yeah, Phish missed that day. #XPNCountdown

There’s one of the Cowboy Junkies covers I had on my list. Even Neil liked this version. (443 Powderfinger). #XPNCountdown
December 8, 2025 at 6:45 PM
Another Waits killer song (Tme @ 464)covered by Tori Amos!!! That’s 4, Dylan better watch his back. #XPNCountdown

Let’s see where we get to tomorrow. Thanks for the chats and good music. #XPNCountdown

Is it just me or is this cover by Hall & Oats sound like a carbon copy of the original? #XPNCountdown
