All Time Top Ten

Here in Part 2, the top half of the list for Top Ten Filipino Rock Stars is filled with legendary legends that are still building those legends to this very day. We had a great time jawing about the greatest Filipino rock stars with 2 gents who fit the bill, and that's no joke. The Thrilla From Manila, the mighty Severo (The Smithereens) joins forces with a true musical wizard named Walter Ino (The Babys, Tommy DeCarlo, et...

Hello, kamusta and mabuhay to our Filipino friends around the globe! All Time Top Ten prides itself on bringing the most musical variety possible, and here's a fun and educational example. Some of the most heralded and under-heralded musical talents either come from the Philippines or have Filipino blood. Luckily ATTT has in our midst two actual Filipino rock stars and we couldn't be more delighted to welcome Severo aka Th...

Much like our friends George Lucas, Wolfman Jack, Flash Cadillac & The Continental Kids, and even Sha Na Na, we have no problem with nostalgia over here at ATTT HQ. We tread heavily in the music and feelings of the past. How could you not, considering the present and the future? "Where were you in '62?" is the mantra of the film and soundtrack to the film we're reveling in this week. American Graffiti went from a small...

Where were you in '62? The magical nostalgic world of the film American Graffiti seems about as close to heaven as one could get. A long night of adventure on the town, with all the cars and all the fun, but especially all of the incredible music. The Great Wolfman Jack provided the soundtrack to that magical world, spinning the best rock n roll, soul, doo wop and pop songs from the years 1957-1962, and lucky us, we get to...

Consider yourself warned, some of the musicals that are featured here in Top Ten Problematic Musicals Part 2 are so cringe that the people that made them pretend they don't exist. Now THAT'S problematic. Shannon Hurley, Joe Lavelle and Kate Bundy aka "the Breakfast Cereal Mascot Bunch" are back to bring the pain with picks 5-1 in Part 2 of our harrowing look at yesteryear and all that that entails.

If you missed the...

Just because we 'can' talk about this stuff doesn't mean we 'should' talk about it, but we're gonna anyway. Musicals have come a long way over the years, as has our society, present moment notwithstanding. There are just some narrative subjects, or bits of dialogue or song lyric or casting choices, that you just can't get away with in today's world. We're willing to bet that approximately 0% of the shows we get into in Top...

Last week we left our heart there, this week we're going to leave our soul. We love San Francisco! To celebrate the Paris Of The West, aka "The City", we have to count down our favorite songs that reference San Francisco. To accomplish this task, we had to turn to the trusty ears of the one and only David Harold Daskal, who has been a Bay Area resident for the past 10 years. Picks 5-1 are revealed in this mighty playlist a...

We want to congratulate the great David Daskal, for celebrating 10 years of living in the Bay Area. We've been left in the lurch for a long time, but we're glad he's out there and thriving. As tribute, we must present our favorite songs that reference the proverbial City By The Bay. Here in Top Ten Songs That Reference San Francisco Part 1, we're just scratching the surface of our list of great songs that name check the Go...

Welp, not much to explain here. TOP TEN SONGS THAT WHISPER is exactly what you should expect, songs that have whispering in them. Need we say more? Let's just add this: we always look forward to having a great time with our old pal Ryan Blake, and he brought it as per usual. Picks 5-1 are featured here in Part 2.

They're two great tastes that taste great together. They are the chocolate and peanut butter of music. We will never tire of this reference. Gen X forever. Anyway, here in Top Ten Unique Voices That Sound Great Together, we wrap things up with Gabe Scalone and finish our count down of those unlikely and unique voice combos that sound incredible when those combos combine. Picks 5-1 are featured here in Part 2.

If you...

What's better than one unique voice? Do you have to ask? Here in Top Ten Unique Voices That Sound Great Together, our good friend and returning champion Gabe Scalone lays out his vision for an obvious but awesome topic. Here it is in a nutshell - 2 singers that have unmistakable flair and originality, combining forces like the finest chocolate and some amazing peanut butter to create a taste sensation. Two great tastes tha...

Just like the Goonies, we here at ATTT never say die. Down here, this is our time, and we'll be damned if we're going to let evil forces ruin what precious time we have here on the planet. We must remain resilient, and thankfully special guest Steve Goodie is on hand to help us curate a list of songs that will get you through your current moment of anxiety and the next one too. Here in Top Ten Songs About Resilience Part 2...

It doesn't take too much to keep us going in the face of hard times. A smile from a stranger, an invite to hang with a beloved friend or relative, an actual hang with a beloved friend or relative, a walk in nature, or even something as simple as a song. Human beings, for all of their faults, are a remarkably resilient bunch. We can and will endure, especially if we have no other option. Here in Top Ten Songs About Resilien...

"Someone might say, I don't understand music; but most people experience music emotionally and would agree that music is an abstraction. You don't need to put music into words right away—you just listen. Cinema is a lot like music. It can be very abstract, but people have a yearning to make intellectual sense of it, to put it right into words." - David Lynch

Someone might say the world lost a giant earlier this year...

Earlier this year, the world lost a giant. We here at ATTT HQ are big fans of artists. Artists, complicated and strange so they may seem, are the lifeblood of creativity and man-and-woman-made joy on this bleak planet of ours. In the realm of film & television, David Lynch is in the pantheon of artistic creators, especially when you consider how expertly he incorporated music in his output. Here in Top Ten Songs From T...

It's still Punk Rock Time., and it's going to continue to be Punk Rock Time for a while, so we might as well embrace it. Top Ten Punk Rock Iconoclasts Part 2 features picks 5-1 in our epic countdown of the ones we look to for courage to challenge authority, spit in the eye of convention and tell Nazi punks where they can go. Our punker pals Ryan Stockstad and Chris Bickel did their homework, and we're pretty damn proud of ...

"This is not a time to be dismayed, this is punk rock time. This is what Joe Strummer trained you for. It is now time to go. You’re a good person. That means more now more than ever." - Henry Rollins

We could not have said it better, Henry. If 2025 isn't punk rock time, then when is? The word ICONOCLAST is defined by Merriam-Webster as “A person who attacks settled beliefs or institutions”. That sounds pretty punk rock ...

If you don't get what was so great about the 90s, you definitely weren't there. As we've said, 1995 is the most 90s year of the decade, and ATTT couldn't think of a better way to celebrate 30 years of the existence of that excellent year than with an epic top ten list. The always affable Dustin Prince returns for TOP TEN ALBUMS OF 1995 Part 2, in which we count down picks 5-1 of eclectic, electric music, with our top picks...
