Every year WXPN puts out a "Greatest" prompt for the listernship community to chew on and submit their Top 10 list. The station then compiles, calculates and computes the highest ranking 885 from those submissions. This year, we are determining the Greatest Cover Songs of all-time.
Here's how WXPN is defining a cover: A cover is when an artist performs or records a song created and released by someone else. Full stop.
I'll once again be joined by my fav Pod Pals Dan Drago from 25 O'Clock Pod and Nate Runkel from Yo! That's My Jawn.
In this second half, Dan, Nate and Phillip share their Top 10 lists providing commentary and rationale along the way. They also provide prognostication regarding what will make it to the ultimate top of the list being revealed by WXPN the next day.
There's also a tense moment around the song "Hallelujah" and Nate attempts to kick Phillip off the show. Pretty surprising given the season and the song (that is better covered by Puddle Pity Party).
Please share your picks for Greatest Cover Songs of All-Time!
