I ended up with a very (not very) respectable 10 points on the #XPNcountdown #CoverSongCountdownScoreCard but it was a really fun, crazy week to listen to some deep cuts & great music. Thanks, #WXPN. If you're not a member, WHY NOT? If you are, send a thank you donation if you can. Until next year.
Whoa, an upset! I was for sure Johnny Cash would take #1. I'm not "Hurt" that it's gotta be Jimi with "All Along The Watchtower"... #XPNcountdown
EFFING TALKING HEADS. Beating out I Will Always Love You with this completely passable cover... Meh. #XPNcountdown
Oof! I slept on Whitney's "I Will Always Love You". I don't know how I forgot that this one hadn't been played yet. It's been a LONG week. Cover song ROYALTY. #XPNcountdown
YES PLEASE, AMY WINEHOUSE's VALERIE! <3 <3 <3 Top 10 laurels are well-deserved here! #XPNcountdown
Also, I'm SHOCKED this didn't crack the top 10 for all it's consistent airtime when NOT doing a cover song countdown.
This live Nirvana Bowie-cover is GREAT. Has always been great. All I ever hear is that sound eff-up from the live broadcast... #facepalm #SoundCheck #XPNcountdown
Lauryn Hill's "Killing Me Softly" is one of the only worthy contenders to come AFTER "Proud Mary"... I was not into R&B or rap at all when I was in HS, and this even turned my head. Something special about it. #XPNcountdown
I'd love to get to hear Tori Amos's cover of Led Zeppelin's "Thank You" it was my #2. I'd love to hear Brandi Carlile's "Sixty Years On" which was my #1 as well, honestly. ;)
Grace Potter doing White Rabbit and Joss Stone's God Only Knows would also be wonderful.
I'll be listening, either way. <3
Dang, you're good at this, good sir. lol.
Bummed we didn't get more Elton/Bernie covers...
NO. What is this nonsense in the sweet 16?? Ugh. #XPNcountdown #NOSatisfaction
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!
xpn.org
Damn. Guess that leaves out Joss Stone's 'God Only Knows' as my dark horse. ;) What a great cover, though. <3
There's not a lot that should go above Me & Bobby McGee. But there are somehow 17 more tunes that do... We can talk about it. But still love that Cake cover... and more than I love "Sweet Jane"...
That 'Perhaps' cover is definitely excellent.
#Legit
Hells yeah. <3 *Grooves in the kitchen...* Woohoo!
RETURN OF CAAAAAKKEEEE!!! Huzzah! What a rad cover. Also happened to be on my list. <3 'I Will Survive' (even if I don't get any more points in the countdown)! #XPNcountdown
THERE we go... Cracking the top 20: Janis & Bobby McGee <3 <3 <3 Cover or no, just an all-time, all-time favorite. #XPNcountdown
Also near-perfection. This song is just lovely, and Billy is an always-favorite. <3
Ooof. I mean, Adele covering 'To Make You Feel My Love' is just masterful. Close to perfection over here. <3 #XPNcountdown
FINALLY! I got one on here. Also, dang... hoped they'd hit top 10 with this one. But yes... The BEAUTIFUL cover of "Wild Horses" by The Sundays. <3 #XPNcountdown
I dont have any recent objections, but I still have no songs on the board. LOL. #XPNcountdown
SUCH a good flick <3
100% Thank you to Tiny Toons for this, and Triangle Man. <3
@brianbarrish.bsky.social I SEE YOU. #43 - Istanbul. Also, thank you for voting for it, lol. All-time fave. #XPNcountdown
#44 - Actually delighted to see my personal favorite version of Hallelujah chart so decently. #XPNcountdown (Still no hits from my ACTUAL top 10 submissions though, lol)
