Happy Winter Solstice ☀️

What a relief! Thankfully @kristenkurtis.bsky.social didn’t have time to find the cover of Thunder Road, that received one vote to play on her morning show today. And for the record, I will not be looking it up 😀 #XPNCountdown

I am happy, I did better in this and any other countdown. I got 9/10. But what’s important is I enjoyed listening to all of these covers, I’ve learned so much and thoroughly enjoyed the past seven days Thank you to ALL at WXPN who made this possible. #XPNCountdown

Nothing compares to WXPN!! Please support this station so we can continue to have more great countdowns, music and events! Go to xpn.org to donate. #XPNCountdown

One great thing (among many) about @wxpnfm.bsky.social is when they go to an ad, it’s just one! Support this station if you don’t already! #XPNCountdown

Well that answers my question. All RESPECT to Aretha Franklin. I thought she would be in the top two. I guess it’s Jeff Buckley for number one?!? #XPNCountdown

What’s everyone’s guess for the songs yet to come? How about Respect by Aretha Franklin, or Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley and Rufus Wainwright. Correct me if these have been covered already #XPNCountdown

Preparing myself for the worst, that would be if Thunder Road showed up in the remaining songs. Especially number 1. I have PTSD from past countdowns #XPNCountdown #NoThunderRoad

Oh wow!!!! I’m now 8/10 💙 Killing me softly, I love every version but this is my favorite. #XPNCountdown

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. #XPNCountdown #SupportPublicRadio #ILoveWXPN.

I’m a bigger Cake fan now than I was before the #XPNCountdown #IWillSurvive

YES! Didn’t choose it, but love it. Mostly because I love Jon Anderson. America #XPNCountdown

Yay! I’m now 6/10 with this great cover of Superstar. #XPNCountdown

This was just the song I needed to cheer me up today! Where oh where could my baby be? This is a great cover in spite of the subject matter. #XPNCountdown

How can you not love the original and every single cover of this song? This cover is one of my pics but the artist I chose has not been played yet. #XPNCountdown #Hallelujah

Slapping myself upside the head! How could I have forgotten this song, it was one of my favorite songs in the 80s🤦‍♀️ but that was so long ago and I’m looking for my glasses that I put down a minute ago. #XPNCountdown #RedRedWine

Thanks for covering Hey Jude #XPNCountdown

I just 💙 that’s so many of Bob Marley’s songs have been covered #XPNCountdown

Just Breathe, This was in my 10+ So happy it made the #XPNCountdown Willie & Lukas…. Did I say that I need you?

What @kristenkurtis.bsky.social said…. “Just enjoy the countdown” #XPNCountdown #itsallaboutthemusic

One time, I saw Aimee Man in concert and I wish I had seen her more #XPNCountdown

The Hindu Love Gods sound eerily like Warren Zevon #XPNCountdown

@kallao.bsky.social PLEASE refresh our memories about what you did in a previous countdown!! I’m sure it’s hysterical #XPNCountdown Or if someone else remembers, do tell…

Anybody remember when women would throw their underwear at Tom Jones? Well I would like somebody to throw something at this song right now. Sorry not sorry #XPNCountdown

With this song, passionate kisses, I am at 50%! I love Mary Chapin Carpenter‘s version of this but Lucinda Williams rules #XPNCountdown

Love it! My favorite Irish drinking song, I heard it yesterday afternoon and now this morning #XPNCountdown

Different Drum, my first 45 Record. Am I aging myself? #XPNCountdown

George Thorogood and the Delaware Destroyers! Used to go see them all the time in Newark, DE my favorite line of this song is “but I’m tired”. And of course the chorus is the bomb. #XPNCountdown

#RIPRaulMalo There will never be another Voice like yours 💔😢

Slade!!! The first band I ever saw live in concert. At the spectrum in Philadelphia. Opening act was Brownsville station 🤮 🤷 Cum on feel the noize. #XPNCountdown

My husband encouraged me to come out and walk with him to try and cheer me up over the loss of Raul Malo. Upon starting our walk, I put my AirPods in and said you can’t talk to me I’m listening to the #xpncountdown. Was that rude?

One of my favorite Irish Drinking Songs! Whiskey in the Jar #XPNCountdown

This is my 3/10. Love you Neil Young. Four Strong Winds #XPNCountdown

RIP Raul Malo #raulmalo #themavericks

I am so sad this morning, I know this is not part of the countdown but I think as music fans we all agree that this is ok. RIP Raul Malo, the VOICE, the lead singer of the Mavericks, the greatest live band ever. 💔🎶💔 #XPNCountdown

OK, so I’m very ambivalent about this. Powderfinger is my favorite song of all times. No one can (or should) do it like Neil Young. I love that this is being covered but I yearn for the original song. I had to interrupt my workout at the gym to post this. #XPNCountdown

Ugh, I will NOT dance to this cover of Let’s Dance. Sorry, not sorry. Bowie Rules! #XPNCountdown

I’m Dazed & Confused - I thought that was an original Led Zeppelin #XPNCountdown

There’s the Bowie voice I fell in love with! Ziggy Forever #XPNCountdown

The absolute GREATEST guitar player. Richard Thompson. When you are at his concert, if you shut your eyes you think there has to be more than one guitarist playing. #XPNCountdown

Oh, Deep Purple ~ another blast from the past, and a favorite band of mine back then. Who remembers Highway Star? #XPNCountdown

Oh Chrissie, your voice. 💙🎤🎶🎤💙 #XPNCountdown

My world would be so much happier if I never heard this song again. Just saying… Rebel rebel is for David Bowie only #XPNCountdown

David Bowie John Lennon Limitless undying love 💙😢💙 #XPNCountdown

Oh it’s such a perfect day, lying in the sunshine, catching some rays & listening to the #XPNcountdown

A BLAST from the past. Ain’t nothing but a party by J Giles. I loved this album. Always started our parties with this song. #XPNCountdown

YES!!!!!! This is another one of my picks, that makes two so far. Absolutely love this version of John Prine’s song. Really miss John Prine. #Xpncountdown

Hmmmm…. *The time to finish my library book is running out. *Football is on and I am a huge NFL football fan. *WXPN countdown is on and I love WXPN and the countdowns ~ What to do, what to do? #xpncountdown for the win! 🙌🏻 (it wasn’t really a contest)

Well, I must admit this song was a favor of mine way back when. Of course it was due to a teenage crush. “ baby baby baby oh baby…..” #guiltypleasure #xpncountdown
