I ended up with a very (not very) respectable 10 points on the #XPNcountdown #CoverSongCountdownScoreCard but it was a really fun, crazy week to listen to some deep cuts & great music. Thanks, #WXPN. If you're not a member, WHY NOT? If you are, send a thank you donation if you can. Until next year.

Whoa, an upset! I was for sure Johnny Cash would take #1. I'm not "Hurt" that it's gotta be Jimi with "All Along The Watchtower"... #XPNcountdown

Oof! I slept on Whitney's "I Will Always Love You". I don't know how I forgot that this one hadn't been played yet. It's been a LONG week. Cover song ROYALTY. #XPNcountdown

Also, I'm SHOCKED this didn't crack the top 10 for all it's consistent airtime when NOT doing a cover song countdown.

This live Nirvana Bowie-cover is GREAT. Has always been great. All I ever hear is that sound eff-up from the live broadcast... #facepalm #SoundCheck #XPNcountdown

Lauryn Hill's "Killing Me Softly" is one of the only worthy contenders to come AFTER "Proud Mary"... I was not into R&B or rap at all when I was in HS, and this even turned my head. Something special about it. #XPNcountdown

I'd love to get to hear Tori Amos's cover of Led Zeppelin's "Thank You" it was my #2. I'd love to hear Brandi Carlile's "Sixty Years On" which was my #1 as well, honestly. ;)
Grace Potter doing White Rabbit and Joss Stone's God Only Knows would also be wonderful.
I'll be listening, either way. <3

Damn. Guess that leaves out Joss Stone's 'God Only Knows' as my dark horse. ;) What a great cover, though. <3

There's not a lot that should go above Me & Bobby McGee. But there are somehow 17 more tunes that do... We can talk about it. But still love that Cake cover... and more than I love "Sweet Jane"...
