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

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

RETURN OF CAAAAAKKEEEE!!! Huzzah! What a rad cover. Also happened to be on my list. <3 'I Will Survive' (even if I don't get any more points in the countdown)! #XPNcountdown

FINALLY! I got one on here. Also, dang... hoped they'd hit top 10 with this one. But yes... The BEAUTIFUL cover of "Wild Horses" by The Sundays. <3 #XPNcountdown

#44 - Actually delighted to see my personal favorite version of Hallelujah chart so decently. #XPNcountdown (Still no hits from my ACTUAL top 10 submissions though, lol)

OH, I thought kd's Hallelujah would be in the top 10. Brandi maybe, though... I always like Rufus's, but may be in the minority there. Regardless, I don't think we are done with this tune yet... #XPNcountdown

Meh. While musically, I actually think this cover is great (and many GnR tunes, honestly), I *can't stand* Axl Rose vocals. CAN'T STAND. Who let that housefly into the studio? I'd rather listen to Bob, and that's saying something, heh. #XPNcountdown

This is fine, but I was hoping more for The Chicks' cover of "Landslide" - I've never been fond of Smashing Pumpkins' vocals, and they are a bit abrasive for this particular tune that means so much to me (and so many). #XPNcountdown

Summer Breeze is such a chill song. My top version of it, even beyond the original Seals & Crofts, is actually Jason Mraz's cover, doling out the beachy vibes. If I'd remembered it when I did my top 10, I probably would have included it. #XPNcountdown
