rg1222.bsky.social @rg1222.bsky.social · 11/12/2025Hendrix took the sinister element lurking in AATW and RAN with it. Went from a folksy ditty to something unforgettably unsettling. Well deserved. #xpncountdown 060
rg1222.bsky.social @rg1222.bsky.social · 11/12/2025Absolutely fitting for the greatest cover of all time to be a song written by the greatest songwriter of all time, played by the greatest guitarist of all time. #xpncountdown 0150
rg1222.bsky.social @rg1222.bsky.social · 11/12/2025For anyone who was totally confused when earlier today, mention was made of Rufus Wainwright’s version being in SHREK, they played John Cale’s version in the movie. RW was on the soundtrack because of Dreamworks contractual issues. #xpncountdown #ilookeditup 1110
rg1222.bsky.social @rg1222.bsky.social · 11/12/2025😂😂😂 We need this, as this top 10 has really turned into an emotions fest. 010

rg1222.bsky.social @rg1222.bsky.social · 11/12/2025One thing about these more obscure countdowns is the element of surprise … like it should have been obvious to me that Take Me to the River by TH would be in the top 10, and I totally forgot about it. There really aren’t these kinds of surprises in the Best Song or Album Ever. #xpncountdown 070

rg1222.bsky.social @rg1222.bsky.social · 11/12/2025The best version of “The Man Who Sold the World” is Bowie performing it on SNL with Klaus Nomi and Joey Arias. I recognize that was not a cover. This is really good, too. #xpncountdown 020

rg1222.bsky.social @rg1222.bsky.social · 13/12/2024I have faith … my son is almost 21 and he loves all the music I do but is the one who knows bands and songs I’ve never heard of! I’m hopeful. 010
rg1222.bsky.social @rg1222.bsky.social · 13/12/2024Yeah … it will be interesting when Gen Z heavily becomes involved in these events (should it happen) … 110
rg1222.bsky.social @rg1222.bsky.social · 13/12/20247 for 10. I knew Get Back (Ludacris) and Instant Crush were long shots but I was REALLY hoping Little Dark Age by MGMT would make it. It looks like it never got XPN airtime so maybe folks aren’t familiar with it if they’re not part of the TikTok world. The video is great, too. #xpncountdown 260
rg1222.bsky.social @rg1222.bsky.social · 12/12/2024I already feel the loss! Thank you everyone for such a fun week and for putting up with my endless ramblings and reactions. Already eager to know what’s going to be next year’s theme! #xpncountdown 090

rg1222.bsky.social @rg1222.bsky.social · 12/12/2024I love Sufjan Stevens. Chicago was my number one pick.
