#xpncountdown REVERSE ORDER Dan Reed you are a HOOT

In the early oughts Turner Classic Movies did a breakup scene montage set to this version of this song. They did not bleep the f-bomb. It was amazing. #xpncountdown

#xpncountdown The Bangles' Hazy Shade of Winter is a PERFECT song.

I am always up for a Yes dive! I don't know a lot of their covers, but this America is certainly very Yessy #xpncountdown

Indigo Girls' Romeo and Juliet!! Hit after hit for me. This is my very favorite version. So painful and passionate #xpncountdown

EXCELLENT choice, people. Haven't thought about Tori's version in ages. I want to hang out with you all and share music all the time, not just now. #xpncountdown

I forgot about this version of Landslide. I think Smashing Pumpkins actually do it justice #xpncountdown

@wxpnfm.bsky.social Countdown tally masters: In the "Songs Most Covered" section, A Case of You is still listed at 2 but it's been covered 3 times #xpncountdown

"YOU'RE the rulebreakers. We're just following suit." 😅 Sometimes there are exceptions to a rule. This is a democracy! Maybe next year's countdown can be Best Collaborations #xpncountdown

#xpncountdown Next year XPN should create a poster of all the DJs draped on each other like a '90s ensemble cast and during the countdown release it as a thank you gift for a $25 donation.

"All I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme" Frickin brilliant. Love every cover of this song. (Still looking forward to the Indigo Girls, my favorite version) #xpncountdown

So many great Nina songs - I voted for another one but Sinnerman is way too low on the list #xpncountdown

gawkybird @gawkybird.bsky.social · 08/12/2025

YESS!! I heard this version for the first time THE DAY AFTER I submitted my list. I am SO glad it made it! #xpncountdown

Love that enough of you guys voted for RATM and Minor Threat and the like. I'm always surprised to remember that I'm not the only punk-inclined listener! #xpncountdown

The one I am surprised we missed was Thrash Unreal by Against Me! Otherwise I think I got 7/10. Not bad! #xpncountdown

#xpncountdown Guys I just want to say it has been an absolute pleasure listening with you all. The shared experience made it the best week I've had in a long time.

#xpncountdown Did someone say there's going to be a session of 886s tonight? How late will that go? I know Kristen mentioned tomorrow will feature one-vote-wonders

I thought this was "The Slowest Drink at the Saddest Bar on the Snowiest Day in the Greatest City" by The Lawrence Arms at first and got excited. Ah well. #xpncountdown

My boss is in from out of town and sitting next to me, and she thinks my "ooooh"s and "OHH!"s are because I'm excited about work #xpncountdown

Gosh, the Mountain Goats 💚 Folk Punkers let's go! Should I hold out hope that Mischief Brew still might make the list? #xpncountdown

Holy shit, I know this song but I have no idea why. Was "Frontier Psychiatrist" on Y100 back in the day or something? #xpncountdown

gawkybird @gawkybird.bsky.social · 07/12/2024

Rise up and take the power back It's time the fat cats had a heart attack You know that their time's coming to an end We have to unify and watch our flag ascend #xpncountdown

Have you heard the second Virtute song? Had me fucking bawling on my bed with guilt and regret over past relationships and animals I've failed. There's a third one too that serves as a bit of a balm but not entirely. Anyway, this is a terrific song! #xpncountdown

Fond of "Let Her Go" because of the puppy and horse commercial #xpncountdown

@wxpnfm.bsky.social Anxious because the countdown list on xpn.org is sabotaged by Radiohead. Please help!

Radiohead has the audacity to hold both the 822 and 821 positions with Lotus Flower
