smoore1117.bsky.social @smoore1117.bsky.social · 24/12/2025My favorite part of #XPNTNB every year. It’s time to get the fish preparation going when this comes on. @djrobertdrake.bsky.social 040
smoore1117.bsky.social @smoore1117.bsky.social · 11/12/2025I never realized how awful the original of hallelujah is. Thank God it’s been covered so often. #XPNcountdown 220
smoore1117.bsky.social @smoore1117.bsky.social · 11/12/2025If #XPNcountdown was your first taste of the great weirdness of @wxpnfm.bsky.social , just wait for #XPNTNB. The end of the countdown means it’s proper holiday time and nearly time for Robert Drake and Christmas Eve cooking. 0152
smoore1117.bsky.social @smoore1117.bsky.social · 11/12/2025100% the first thing that came to my mind. #XPNcountdown 070
smoore1117.bsky.social @smoore1117.bsky.social · 11/12/2025My 11 year old thinks Number 1 will be “Fix You” by Yellowcard. Her emo mother (and father (are proud). #XPNcountdown 050
smoore1117.bsky.social @smoore1117.bsky.social · 11/12/2025Ok so in some order we’re going to get Hurt, Watchtower and Hallelujah. What’s the other? Natural Woman? #XPNcountdown 331

smoore1117.bsky.social @smoore1117.bsky.social · 11/12/2025I really thought Whitney would be Number 1. Or at least Top 3. It’s gonna be Springsteen covering Bob Dylan or some nonsense. #XPNcountdown 280
smoore1117.bsky.social @smoore1117.bsky.social · 11/12/2025Just said the same thing. I’m shocked it’s this low. 010

smoore1117.bsky.social @smoore1117.bsky.social · 11/12/2025I 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) #XPNcountdown 030
smoore1117.bsky.social @smoore1117.bsky.social · 11/12/2025Hot take: The actual original version of this song (the Beatles) stinks. This is way worse. What on Earth is this? #XPNcountdown 100
smoore1117.bsky.social @smoore1117.bsky.social · 11/12/2025If 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. #XPNcountdown 160
smoore1117.bsky.social @smoore1117.bsky.social · 11/12/2025I’ve heard this cover of In Your Eyes before but never would’ve thought of it. It’s effing outstanding. #XPNcountdown 120
smoore1117.bsky.social @smoore1117.bsky.social · 11/12/2025It’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. 150
smoore1117.bsky.social @smoore1117.bsky.social · 11/12/2025I 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. #XPNcountdown 190
smoore1117.bsky.social @smoore1117.bsky.social · 11/12/2025Although there has to be a reason they’re using this kinda mid acoustic version. Some of the live versions are MUCH BETTER. #XPNcountdown 020
smoore1117.bsky.social @smoore1117.bsky.social · 09/12/2025File this David Gray song - one of my absolute favorites - under the “I had no idea this was a cover,” category. #XPNcountdown 150
smoore1117.bsky.social @smoore1117.bsky.social · 09/12/2025My wife had one very specific request in the #XPNcountdown: “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. 040
smoore1117.bsky.social @smoore1117.bsky.social · 08/12/2025Ben 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”. #XPNcountdown 391
smoore1117.bsky.social @smoore1117.bsky.social · 08/12/2025I can’t believe this is so low. #XPNcountdown 250
smoore1117.bsky.social @smoore1117.bsky.social · 08/12/2025Guster 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. #XPNcountdown 060
smoore1117.bsky.social @smoore1117.bsky.social · 24/12/2024The first year I listened to #XPNTNB I remember thinking this Groove Lily thing was so bizarre. Now it’s a highlight of Christmas Eve. 040
smoore1117.bsky.social @smoore1117.bsky.social · 12/12/2024As always, that was crazy fun in an otherwise never ending week of rain and cold. So glad to have @wxpnfm.bsky.social and things like #xpncountdown. See you on Christmas Eve #TheNightBefore, @djrobertdrake.bsky.social. 0100
smoore1117.bsky.social @smoore1117.bsky.social · 12/12/2024I’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. #xpncountdown 030
smoore1117.bsky.social @smoore1117.bsky.social · 12/12/2024All that Death Cab and we haven’t heard Marching Bands of Manhattan? #xpncountdown 110
smoore1117.bsky.social @smoore1117.bsky.social · 12/12/2024Wife 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. #xpncountdown 080
smoore1117.bsky.social @smoore1117.bsky.social · 12/12/2024This is my prediction too. #xpncountdown 000
smoore1117.bsky.social @smoore1117.bsky.social · 12/12/2024If #xpncountdown did a list of top movies, this one would be on it. 050
smoore1117.bsky.social @smoore1117.bsky.social · 12/12/2024My 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. #XPNcountdown 0110
smoore1117.bsky.social @smoore1117.bsky.social · 12/12/2024Taylor > Florence > Eminem is easily the best sequence so far. Just bangers. #xpncountdown 060
smoore1117.bsky.social @smoore1117.bsky.social · 12/12/2024The transition from Taylor to Florence + the Machine made her very happy too. She’s my music-head child and I love it. #xpncountdown 020
smoore1117.bsky.social @smoore1117.bsky.social · 12/12/2024My 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 🔥. #xpncountdownmedia.tenor.coma woman singing into a microphone with the words " i remember it all too well " on the bottomALT: a woman singing into a microphone with the words " i remember it all too well " on the bottom 1231
smoore1117.bsky.social @smoore1117.bsky.social · 12/12/2024Drawing a complete blank on what Coldplay songs will be higher than this one. If any? #XPNCountdown 120
smoore1117.bsky.social @smoore1117.bsky.social · 12/12/2024This Postal Service album is amazing. Saw them at the Mann this summer for the first time and it was incredible. #xpncountdown 4200
smoore1117.bsky.social @smoore1117.bsky.social · 12/12/2024Discovered Edward Sharpe (I think) due to XPN and earlier countdowns. This whole album is excellent, no skips. The best whistling song on Earth. #xpncountdown 020
smoore1117.bsky.social @smoore1117.bsky.social · 12/12/2024I really, really enjoy Radiohead. But my god this is a lot of Radiohead. #XPNcountdown 190

smoore1117.bsky.social @smoore1117.bsky.social · 11/12/2024Like 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. #XPNcountdown 110

smoore1117.bsky.social @smoore1117.bsky.social · 11/12/2024Can’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. 061
smoore1117.bsky.social @smoore1117.bsky.social · 10/12/2024Like, “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? #XPNcountdown 3201
smoore1117.bsky.social @smoore1117.bsky.social · 10/12/2024“Without Me” is egregiously low. #XPNcountdownmedia.tenor.coma man in a brown jacket stands in front of a drum set that says dwALT: a man in a brown jacket stands in front of a drum set that says dw 100
smoore1117.bsky.social @smoore1117.bsky.social · 10/12/2024I feel like we’re absolutely in the sweet spot of the #xpncountdown. Surprises still, lots of crazy transitions, and stuff most people know. The Top 100 will be fun too, but probably a lot more predictable. 050
smoore1117.bsky.social @smoore1117.bsky.social · 10/12/2024It’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. #XPNcountdown 030
smoore1117.bsky.social @smoore1117.bsky.social · 09/12/2024I will not tolerate the DMB haters. Or I will just ignore them. This album is my favorite DMB album start to finish. No skips. #XPNcountdownmedia.tenor.coma man playing a red guitar in front of a microphoneALT: a man playing a red guitar in front of a microphone 030
