Ben Folds is maybe my all-time favorite artist. This is a phenomenal cover but not one I included on my list.

That would be “Bitches Ain’t Shit”.

I can’t believe this is so low. #XPNcountdown
The Fugees covering ‘No Woman No Cry’ in the 400s? What if I told you Bob Dylan sat in on the recording session? #XPNCountdown

Guster is one of my favorite bands, and I totally forgot about this cover of Nothing But Flowers. (Talking Heads are another one of my favorites.)

This may have made my list if I remembered it. #XPNcountdown

The first year I listened to #XPNTNB I remember thinking this Groove Lily thing was so bizarre. Now it’s a highlight of Christmas Eve.

As always, that was crazy fun in an otherwise never ending week of rain and cold. So glad to have @wxpnfm.bsky.social and things like #xpncountdown.

See you on Christmas Eve #TheNightBefore, @djrobertdrake.bsky.social.

I’m sure I’ll think of others, but “Marching Bands of Manhattan” is the wildest snub for me of the top of my head. I like a few other songs off Plans better, but I’m shocked it didn’t appear at all. #xpncountdown

All that Death Cab and we haven’t heard Marching Bands of Manhattan? #xpncountdown

Wife and I are guessing what’s left and I find out she “HATES” both “Mr. Brightside” and “Hey Ya!”.

25 years together and I’m still learning insane things that may lead to divorce.

This is my prediction too. #xpncountdown
My wild card number one is Mr brightside #xpncountdown

If #xpncountdown did a list of top movies, this one would be on it.
Top 10 songs about death. Go. #XPNCountdown

My 10-year-old daughter is BELTING out “Maps,” now too.

I feel like I’m doing something right as a parent that she knows so many of these songs.

Taylor > Florence > Eminem is easily the best sequence so far. Just bangers. #xpncountdown

The transition from Taylor to Florence + the Machine made her very happy too.

She’s my music-head child and I love it. #xpncountdown

My 10-year-old daughter is FIRED UP and just switched WXPN to ALL of the Alexas in the house instead of just in the kitchen.

This song is 🔥.

Drawing a complete blank on what Coldplay songs will be higher than this one. If any? #XPNCountdown

This Postal Service album is amazing. Saw them at the Mann this summer for the first time and it was incredible. #xpncountdown

Discovered Edward Sharpe (I think) due to XPN and earlier countdowns. This whole album is excellent, no skips. The best whistling song on Earth. #xpncountdown

I really, really enjoy Radiohead.

But my god this is a lot of Radiohead.

Where is the Groundhog Day meme for LCD Soundsystem? I mean … this is a LOT. #XPNcountdown

Like people mock “We Didn’t Start the Fire” as a terrible song (it’s not great).

But somehow this Bob Dylan song is “good”? Even calling it a “song” is a stretch. #XPNcountdown
Bob should write a sequel to Murder Most Foul for the 21st century. All events after 9/11. I would like to hear his musings on the Kendrick/Drake beef at least. #XPNcountdown

Can’t second this enough.

Became an XPN member a few years ago during the OG Covid countdown (real ones know).

And I’m already looking forward to my favorite holiday tradition: XMas Eve cooking with @djrobertdrake.bsky.social & The Night Before.
Just want to put it out there to everyone enjoying this amazing countdown that wxpn is able to do these things because of member support. So please consider becoming a member during your Year-end giving plans.

Like, “Shallow” isn’t a “bad” song. But I really just want to pick the brain of the MULTIPLE people who filled out a list of “10 Best Songs of the Last 25 Years” and even thought to include it. How does your brain work? #XPNcountdown

My favorite #XPNcountdown post today.
The inclusion of "Mazel Tov" in this wretched Black Eyed Peas song feels borderline anti-Semitic. #XPNCountdown
