This!

Prince is probably the musician I find most interesting because I think he’s a musical genius but also fully acknowledge that a lot of his music is some Prince Bullshit

Yeeeesssssss!!!!!

Also love that Ryan Adam’s covered all of 1989. Excellent choice.

He has the correct #1 and #2 had better be in the top 10.

Here is my list. Had to flip a coin between Jump & Smells Like Teen Spirit, though honestly I could have voted every track on Paul Anka's Rock Swings they are all that good.

Aretha Franklin, Respect; White Houston, I Will Always Love You; Sinead O'Connor, Nothing Compares 2 U; Johnny Cash, Hurt; Fiona Apple, Across the Universe; Gary Jules, Mad World; Rodrigo y Gabriella, Stairway to Heaven; Placebo, Running Up That Hill; Jose Gonzalez, Heartbeats; Paul Anka, Smells Like Teen Spirit. Criminally missing The Band, Atlantic City.

It's ok if you say 'on accident' by accident, but 'by accident' is the one you want to use.

@wxpnfm.bsky.social just announced this year’s countdown and I am so excited! The 885 best covers! Now instead of getting all Beatles, Stones, Dylan, & Springsteen we will get covers of the Beatles, Stones, Dylan, & Springsteen!

I am saying it now: my prediction for #1 is Aretha Franklin’s Respect

32 Flavors. Heck yes. If you want to listen to some good music turn on XPN today, or frankly any day. #tbtxpn #xpnclassics

Turned on the radio to hear Loreena McKennitt's beautiful voice and immediately thought "This is such a throwback to classic 90s WXPN" forgetting it was #TBTXPN. @kristenkurtis.bsky.social clearly understood the assignment for #XPNClassics and knows we could all use more McKennitt in our lives.

If you don't listen to @wxpnfm.bsky.social you should. It's the best radio station out there and you can stream online. If you do listen to wxpn you should consider donating to support it especially since federal funding might be cut. Thanks XPN for being the best and reading my comment on air!

I had no idea Sad Songs and Waltzes by Cake was a cover until this Two for Tuesday set in honor of Willie Nelson. I apologize for my ignorance Willie. Your game has always been strong and happy birthday! @wxpnfm.bsky.social

Always such a treat when @lowcutconnie.bsky.social drops by @wxpnfm.bsky.social! Loving the gems Adam is spinning from his collection for #recordstoreday
