#XPNCountdown Hate it or Love it, AI picked the correct winner :)

#XPNCountdown I voted for "Where have all the good times gone" Van Halen covering the Kinks. Of course, every other cover on Diver Down made it, but personally this one is my favorite because it turned me onto the Kinks. @kristenkurtis.bsky.social

#XPNCountdown - I "scored" pretty low and am happy about it. Could I have picked all songs in the top 20? Probably easily, but I choose to pick songs that needed my votes. I think you should score more points for having songs with the least votes on the list! You are doing the heavy lifting.

#XPNCountdown My butler Geezer was right on #1 but completely missed Bonnie Raitt swooping into the top 5.

@wxpnfm.bsky.social This would be a good theme show :)

#XPNCountdown In the words of the irreverent Kurt Vonnegut (or Nick Lowe, you choose) - So it goes

The longest cover song chains clock in at 13. There are 2 basic flavors starting with either John Mayer covering Beyonce, or Richard Thompson covering Whitney. See all 3200+ at varady.org/xpn.cfm

#XPNCountdown Nirvana has just unlocked a 13 song bacon chain 🥓

Sabbath is my house band. What a perfect cover. Where is Earth's Blue Suede Shoes?

Check out varady.org/xpn.cfm it has a chain 10 song long so far

#XPNCountdown coincidentally having dinner with someone who went to highschool with Patti Smith

#XPNCountdown is you is or is you ain't done?

#XPNCountdown wrong song guys

Well they haven't play The Dolphins yet...

#XPNCountdown I hope they do a segment on these Cover Song Bacon Chains - some of them are just fantastic. @wxpnfm.bsky.social

#XPNCountdown I really wanted to put Neko Case covering Catherine Irwin's Hex on my list but I didn't want to burn a vote on something I knew wouldn't place. I heard Neko do it at the Keswick a few tours back and someone nearby was crying so hard their tears landed on my face. I swear.

#XPNCountdown hearing Hard to Handle makes me wonder where UDS' Deeper Shade of Soul will appear

#XPNCountdown Some fresh Cover Song Bacon Chains unlocked with this new version of Jolene in the countdown. White Stripes longest Bacon Strip is 9 songs long.

I think Hurt is #1 but my butler Geezer thinks Jimi wins.

Sounds like a theme song to a bad 80's sitcom.

I think it was "Ring a Ring o' Roses"

#XPNCountdown Willie adds to his Bacon Chains

#XPNCountdown Still pretty sure Indigo Girls are yet to come, mostly sure R.E.M. is not done with Dead Letter Office just yet, but the rest I'm starting to feel less sure of. I voted for nostalgia over "best" but don't regret a single one on my list.

#XPNCountdown Still thankful for XPN turning me onto Frente! over 25 years ago.

thanks - missing release year on that last song.

Ring of Fire is old, but I didn't realize it was in Old English.

got a shout out on the radio but not by handle :) Is it because it has "beer" in it and it's before 5 o'clock @kristenkurtis.bsky.social ?

#XPNCountdown Jimmy just beat the earliest cover by 100 years

#XPNCountdown - everyone is familiar with the Bacon Index for movies. My Cover Song Bacon Chain builder links countdown songs by Artist/OriginalArtist to a song done by Original Artist. Longest Bacon Strips are 10 songs long. If Bob Dylan does a cover I think it might spin off into a new dimension.

I like that at least he didn't gender swap the lyrics.
