My favorite part of

every year. It’s time to get the fish preparation going when this comes on.

I never realized how awful the original of hallelujah is. Thank God it’s been covered so often.

If

was your first taste of the great weirdness of

. The end of the countdown means it’s proper holiday time and nearly time for Robert Drake and Christmas Eve cooking.

My 11 year old thinks Number 1 will be “Fix You” by Yellowcard. Her emo mother (and father (are proud).

Ok so in some order we’re going to get Hurt, Watchtower and Hallelujah. What’s the other? Natural Woman?

I really thought Whitney would be Number 1. Or at least Top 3. It’s gonna be Springsteen covering Bob Dylan or some nonsense.

As we wind down the countdown I hope everyone appreciates all the work that went into this and will support @wxpnfm.bsky.soc ial we would never hear anything like this on commercial radio. Please donate today! Every little bit counts.

I get most of my love of music from my mom, and love a lot of her music, and we listened to a TON of WXPN. But I vividly remember as a kid that I LOVED this version of “Mad World”. And she HATED IT. (Same with anything by David Gray)

Hot take: The actual original version of this song (the Beatles) stinks. This is way worse. What on Earth is this?

If we’re doing fun versions of rap classics, then Ben Folds’ version of “Bitches Ain’t Shit” should be way higher than whatever this is.

It’s interesting to think what this
#XPNcountdown
list would be if people made their Top 10s from a pre-populated database of covers. Like if you scrolled through a massive list of covers, your list would be totally different from one off the top of your head.

I know many XPN folks despise Dave Matthews Band. But an all-time memory: DMB performed this cover of “All Along the Watchtower” at Veteran’s Stadium as the encore to a show. And they were joined on stage by Carlos Santana & The Roots in the pouring rain. I’ll never forget it.

Although there has to be a reason they’re using this kinda mid acoustic version. Some of the live versions are MUCH BETTER.

File this David Gray song - one of my absolute favorites - under the “I had no idea this was a cover,” category.

My wife had one very specific request in the

: “Fix You” by Yellowcard. I figured it would make the list but now I’m getting worried for her as we get into the 200s.

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”.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The transition from Taylor to Florence + the Machine made her very happy too. She’s my music-head child and I love it.

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 🔥.

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

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.

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.

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?

I feel like we’re absolutely in the sweet spot of the

It’s the thing that happens in every countdown like this, where people vote for the songs they think they SHOULD vote for, instead of their favorites. Dylan, Bruce, Stones, etc.

I will not tolerate the DMB haters. Or I will just ignore them. This album is my favorite DMB album start to finish. No skips.
