The run that Rob Reiner went on between 1984 and 1992 is one of the most amazing hot streaks any director has ever had. Legendary stuff

Dum Dum Girls were a great band. One of the best indie rock bands of the late 00s/early 10s. Forgot about their Smiths cover. #xpncountdown

Britney Spears' take on "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" is both (1) not my thing and (2) exactly the kind of curveball I want during a one vote wonders morning show. #xpncountdown

Original Leonard Cohen "Hallelujah" = best "Hallelujah" #xpncountdown

Tina just makes "Proud Mary" her own. Not on my list, but happy it made the top 15. #xpncountdown

Barring a miracle I'm at 8/10. Few vocal performances are as powerful as Charles Bradley here. Floored every time. #xpncountdown

My #4. Are Sonic Youth among the original poptimists? I find their version of "Superstar" totally heartbreaking. #xpncountdown

Love when Social D does covers. Self-titled album from 1990 is still extremely underrated. #xpncountdown

Very supportive of this surprise (at least at this placement) appearance of Toots & The Maytals' "Take Me Home, Country Roads." #xpncountdown

Don't like their music very much, but I have lots of respect for UB40. Found their niche, kept at it, and made bank. #xpncountdown

Nice conversation leading into a great cover. #xpncountdown

"Hound Dog" being down at 89 is among my biggest placement shocks so far #xpncountdown

Wasn't sure this Isley Brothers cover of "Summer Breeze" was going to make it. Incredible, expansive magic. #XPNCountdown
December 11, 2025 at 3:31 PM
Faith No More's "Easy" was definitely an 11 for me. Unexpected, offbeat, but not mocking. #xpncountdown

Happy "The Tide is High" made it up to 112. Was worried people didn't know this was a cover. #xpncountdown

The placement of Marvin Gaye's version of "I Heard it Through the Grapevine" at 149 is shocking. People must not know it's a cover. Using that logic, I think Aretha's "Respect" misses the top 25. #xpncountdown #possiblyfoolishprediction

My #1! Blondie's "Hanging on the Telephone" is the platonic ideal of driving, rock music. #xpncountdown

Up to 4. Of course I had to update the Björk spelling in a silly way. #xpncountdown

Memories of my first Warped Tour with The Ataris' version of "The Boys of Summer." #xpncountdown

Probably the highest placing cover of a prominent recurring cast member from later seasons of Curb Your Enthusiasm. #xpncountdown

It may be a cover, but "Sloop John B" is great proof of Brian Wilson's genius as an arranger and producer. RIP. #xpncountdown
