All Time Top Ten

The gloves are off now. Shannon Hurley comes out firing with banger after banger here in Point/Counterpoint: Early Bee Gees vs DIsco Era Bee Gees Part 2. The Hurley is obsessed with all things Gibb, and her exuberance for the majesty of the Bee Gees Disco Era is in peak form. Picks 5-1 are featured in the conclusion of our friendly competition. The winner is us! If you missed Part 1, in which Ben...

The Bee Gees had one of the most unpredictable and astounding career arcs in music history. Who knew that 3 teenage brothers picking up guitars in Australia would own Swinging London within a few years., or that they would go on to have success that dwarfs their initial run when the world caught disco fever, and they were right at the pinnacle of it. Their story needs to be told in 2 parts, and th...

It's been a good rage-filled run here at ATTT HQ. We're pretty proud of this long-running series that gives us a chance to highlight some poopy music. The final installation of the Rage series is in the books, and to nobody's surprise, our friend David Daskal came through for us in Top Ten Rage-Inducing Lyrics. An excellent hang and, uh, questionable playlist means we had a lot of fun. Picks 5-1 a...

RAGE! We deserve to be filled with white hot rage right now, with the state of the world and all of the stupid, stupid, stupidity going on. We can also get our RAGE on for some trivial things, like bad lyrics. Like the songs with the worst lyrics of all time. We went there, and our great friend the diabolical David Daskal is back to help us pull out some stinky songs in Top Ten Rage-Inducing Lyric...

ATTT has been beyond honored to have had the immortal Fuzzbee Morse as a special guest on 9 of our episodes, and Top Ten Fuzzbee All-Stars is the best possible send off for the man who has everything. Fuzzbee is truly the Zelig of rock n roll, but with as much talent as the luminaries he has chummed around with over the decades. Fuzzbee's got this whole top ten list to himself, and his All-Stars a...

This is a first for All Time Top Ten. For Top Ten Fuzzbee All-Stars, our special guest Fuzzbee Morse has the entire top ten list all to himself, and boy is it deserved. One of the greatest musical minds on the planet, Fuzzbee Morse has led a Zelig-esque existence complete with amazing recordings and live performances with some of the greatest rock stars, thieves and rascals in music history. Fuzzb...

Like most people, we're big fans of artists that bring us into their world, and given everything that's happening out there, John Denver's world seems like the place you'd want to spend an hour or two in. Join us as we welcome back the inimitable Helene Eisen for one last pod, this one featuring her all-time favorite artist. Top Ten John Denver Songs is just what this sorrow-filled world needs rig...

The world of John Denver is one of beauty, honesty, love, family, nature, positivity and community. His songs come off like the antidote to today's human condition. ATTT is delighted to bring back the beloved Helene Eisen for one more episode, and we just so happened to be visiting her in Florida for her birthday, and she also just so happens to be the biggest JD fan we know. Please enjoy Part 1 o...

We don't need politicians and other nefarious actors telling us what our favorite songs mean. We have brains and ears and we also have the artists themselves to tell us the true meaning of the art they put into the world. The mighty Gabe Scalone is back to help ATTT complete our countdown of those songs that have found themselves co-opted by jerks over the years, and we're here to set the record s...

We hate it when things get misinterpreted, and we really hate it when it happens for nefarious reasons. We suppose that you could just as easily rename this episode Top Ten Politically Misrepresented Songs, but either way, art is being used as a weapon here, and we feel it's our duty to call it out. The mighty Gabe Scalone makes his triumphant return in Top Ten Politically MIsinterpreted Songs, wi...

The dirtiest four letter word is A.I. The moment the robots take over the world, we die. We die. For this reason and many others we're ready to Melt The Bots with the second half of our list in Top Ten Songs Against A.I. Part 2. Joe Lavelle came through for us in style, as he helped us put together a playlist befitting our current situation, with songs that question and resist an uncertain future,...

We're not all cyborgs yet! ATTT is in total lockstep with our good friend Joe Lavelle on the subject of a.i. - we hate it. We hate that it's being foisted on us, doing lasting damage in multiple ways, and we hate that for many, it's a shortcut to thinking - a way to delegate all thought to a bot. We'd rather be writing our own blurbs about this brand new episode, thank you very much. Top Ten Songs...

It ain't nothing but a heartbreaker. Friend only to the undertaker. We despise war, and not just because it means destruction of innocent lives. It's been said that World War 4 will be fought with sticks because there will be no civilization left. This is serious shit! The Unkillable Jenny Lynne joins for her final ATTT appearance and it's a doozy. Top Ten Anti-War Songs Part 2 features the top, a...

We're in it now, folks. If you thought America wasn't dumb enough to get embroiled in another middle east quagmire, you haven't been studying history. We here at All Time Top Ten hate war, and we don't mind saying it as loud as possible. It's unfortunate but now is indeed the time for another volume of our favorite songs that cut through the bullshit and say "NO" to war. Top Ten Anti-War Songs Vol...

The only thing that comes close to singing your heart out in a choir is listening to some enormously talented people bringing the house down in epic fashion. The "E" word is a big factor in the songs featured here in Top Ten Pop Songs That Feature A Choir Part 2 of 2. We're bringing it home with some legendary picks with our dear old pal Ryan Blake, the guy we've relied on over and over again for...

Now and then we like to bust out a topic that's nothing but ear candy. You're welcome, listeners! Crank up those headphones for this one, as the epicness is over the mountain. What happens when a bunch of super talented singers get together and sing? Pure magic. Amazing choirs were used to great effect in the songs featured in Top Ten Pop Songs That Feature A Choir. The Old Boy Himself Ryan Blake...

Call them scammers, crooks, cheats, hustlers, swindlers, frauds, imposters, deceivers, charlatans, double-crossers, fakers, hustlers, scoundrels, shysters, snake-oil salesmen and con artists. These subhuman monsters are having a moment in 2026 and we're not going to take their bs anymore. With the help from our good buddy Ryan Stockstad, we're out for their hides. TOP TEN SONGS ABOUT CON ARTISTS p...

We've been had, my friends. The fact that I don't even have to say what it is shows you all know what I'm talking about. We're out to expose the bullshitters by studying their habits. For our mental health, one safe way to do this is to do it musically. Please welcome back to the pod a fan favorite, the always up-for-it Ryan Stockstad, who is on hand to help us count down on our favorite songs abo...

It's always hard to say farewell to a place where you've spent a long time living. Unless you're Pal O' The Pod Tony Ross, who formally invites his former job and the entire city of Los Angeles to kiss his "whole ass" goodbye. Tony's out of here! While we hate to see a good friend go, we're glad we used this occasion as an excuse to count down our favorite Songs About Getting Out. To round out the...

We're outta here! More accurately, our longtime buddy Tony Ross is outta here. Tony's leaving LA after many years and we'll miss having him around. We've always enjoyed having on the pod, going as far back as 2012! Tony's getting out, which inspired us to celebrate the art of getting out with our latest, TOP TEN SONGS ABOUT GETTING OUT. We needed more fun so we recruited Tony's partner in crime, t...

They're subversive, they're weird, they're hilarious, they're ridiculous. They're novel and we're all about our favorites this week in Top Ten Novelty Songs Volume 2 Part 2. Our man in China Jeff Axelrod was more than happy to help put up another volume of these classic gems that make you think almost as much as they make you laugh. Picks 5-1 are featured here in Part 2! If you missed Part 1, star...

We've had it up to here with negativity and bs. We wish we had it up to here with whimsy, weirdness, hilarity and subversiveness. This is as good a time as any to bust out another volume of Novelty Songs, and who better to co-host than our favorite pal in China, the great Jeff Axelrod. Top Ten Novelty Songs Volume 2 is here, with picks 10-6 revealed in Part 1. Get novel with us! If you missed out...

We sincerely hope that we get old before we die. Sorry, Pete. There's just too much to experience, like the act of getting old itself. Aging is the topic for this week's episode, and we're more than delighted to welcome back our OLD pal, the great Dustin Prince. Dustin and I both turned 50 in the past year, so we're semi-experts on the subject. Come get old with us here in Top Ten Songs About Agin...

If you're lucky enough to get old, think of all you've gained. First off, you're alive, which is better than the alternative 100% of the time. Secondly, you can use all of the wisdom and knowledge you've collected over a lifetime of experiences, and you can use it to find ways for you and others around you to be happy. In this already ridiculous year of 2026, we're working hard to stay positive, a...

Now that we've seen it, we can confirm there are cool things to do and cool people to hang out with in the upside down part of the world. For example, if one were to jump on an airplane and fly 15 hours from Los Angeles to Melbourne, Australia and spend a week hanging out with Love That Album and See Hear podcast host/producer Maurice Bursztynski and his lovely family, one would come away with a m...
