Episode 429 - Top Ten Songs Of Hope From The 90's w/Ryan Blake
October 05, 2020 11:00 - 1 hour - 140 MBThe Old Boy Himself Ryan Blake is back on the pod to talk about one of our favorite subjects - the music of the 90's. Like your humble host, Ryblake came of age in the 90's. In the 90's we formed our taste, honed our sense of what was cool, became musicians and took in the insane variety of great music that came out during that most glorious of decades. We both have such fond memories of that time that we thought it would be appropriate to add another episode to ATTT's award-aspiring Songs O...

September 21, 2020 11:00 - 1 hour - 126 MBLord help us, we're just getting pummeled by despair week after week here in bad ol' 2020. Those of us in the camp we call "people who care", or "people who give a shit" are just trying to keep our heads above water these days and like the great Freddie Mercury advised, we're keeping ourselves alive. A big help is something we call rock n roll, and for this week, we're all about the greatest Classic Rock Songs Of Hope, those hard rockin' gems that keep our spirits up, lyrically and musically...
Episode 426 - Top Ten Punk Rock Songs Of Hope w/Vanessa Narad Axelsen
September 14, 2020 00:00 - 1 hour - 137 MBAnyone who knows anything about punk rock should not be surprised that there are a ridiculous amount of truly uplifting, life-affirming, positive punk songs. Punk scenes are all about unity and brother/sisterhood. Some of the most tightly knit groups of friends are those who bond over music that is all about no compromises and in-your-face honesty. Therefore, Punk Rock Songs Of Hope is a topic that is a no-brainer, especially for this day & age. We should all be filled with righteous anger a...
Episode 425 - Top Ten Cover Songs Of Hope w/Dustin Prince
September 07, 2020 00:00 - 1 hour - 133 MBThe Summer Of Sin was a thing, and now it is mercifully over. The Oompa Loompas running the show here at ATTT HQ have been getting restless, and are ready for a break from all the negativity we've seen in the world and especially here in these United States. The election is less than 2 months away and we're going to steer this ship in a new direction - the direction of positivity, good vibes, and especially HOPE. Longtime fans of the show know All Time Top Ten has been all about hope for the...
Episode 424 - Top Ten Songs About Envy w/Geoff Pearlman
August 31, 2020 00:00 - 1 hour - 117 MBIf there was ever a time to declare yourself over this summer, it would be now. The actual summer here in these United States was one of the all time disasters. For proof just look around. Over here in the ATTT-verse, we’ve been having a ball, reveling in songs about sins, the seven deadly sins to be exact. But alas, all good things must end, and so goes the Summer Of Sin. Guitar hero and all-around mensch supreme Geoff Pearlman is back to help us close things out with a pretty damn underrat...
Episode 423 - Top Ten Songs About Pride w/Dan Rothchild & Sky Nicholas
August 24, 2020 00:00 - 1 hour - 136 MBAll Time Top Ten's Summer Of Sin series rolls on with a slippery eel of a topic. it's easy to look at the word 'Pride' and have 90% of your thoughts about the word be positive. However, the negative side of pride can cause humans to do some incredibly destructive things. The side of pride that can hurt you, or worse, is what we're interested in for this particular podcast, and ATTT is delighted to be joined by one of the greatest Rock N Roll Power Couples in the greater Los Angeles area. Dan...
Episode 422 - Top Ten Songs About Gluttony w/Alex LaBorwit
August 17, 2020 00:00 - 1 hour - 109 MBGoing through the seven deadly sins has taught us a few things - greed is the most destructive sin, lust is the most dangerous, and gluttony is arguably the most fun. To quote Randy Newman, here in America, you get food to eat. Lots of it. More than you could ever want. It's sad to say that in addition to being the most fun of the sins, gluttony is probably the most American. ATTT is excited to have a chat about maximum consumption with our friend Alex, who in addition to being a wonderful m...
Episode 421 - Top Ten Songs About Greed w/Fernando Perdomo & Cyndi Trissel
August 10, 2020 11:00 - 1 hour - 151 MBWe've been at this for a month now, and so far ATTT's Summer Of Sin series has discussed some pretty intense and dangerous sins. However, nothing can prepare you for the sheer destruction that comes with the sin of greed. Greed has caused untold amounts of pain throughout the history of the world and some would say it's the root of all evil. Gordon Gecko says "greed is good", we say "music is good", and All Time Top Ten is delighted to welcome musician/music savant Fernando Perdomo and first...
Episode 420 - Top Ten Songs About Lust w/Jenny Lynne
August 03, 2020 00:00 - 1 hour - 129 MBOf all the seven deadly sins, lust may be the most fun, or the most dangerous, depending on how well you can control yourself. The tunes featured in Top Ten Songs About Lust are not merely songs about sex, or songs about love. To quote the immortal Joan Jett, "if you think it's luv, then you're thinking wrong". To lust is to want, and ATTT wants to introduce our listeners to one of our favorite people, the freewheeling Jenny Lynne. When Jenny is not acting, modeling, swallowing swords, or ha...
Episode 419 - Top Ten Songs About Sloth w/Joe Lavelle
July 27, 2020 00:00 - 1 hour - 157 MBI could write something here about how Top Ten Songs About Sloth is part 2 of our 7-part series The Summer Of Sin, dissecting the 7 Deadly Sins, one playlist at a time. I could also tell you that long time show favorite Joe Lavelle is on to help us count down our favorite songs about being lazy, and exactly what kind of a sin sloth really is. I could do all that but I don't feel like it. Stream this playlist on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7Eor3F5iEYOeAyBbIlgJwV?si=seF1WCIQQBi...
Episode 418 - Top Ten Songs About Wrath w/Matt Dinan
July 20, 2020 00:00 - 1 hour - 133 MBEverything is terrible, this is a fact. Our options for dealing with this fact are to pretend everything is hunky dory, fall into despair and forget about the healing power of art, or the much sexier and righteous option - to embrace it and find humor and meaning in art wherever we can, to keep us sane in an insane world. Of course our favorite medium is, as Beethoven once said "the only medium that matters, bitch" (paraphrasing) - music. So let's take a musical look at the darker side of l...
Episode 417 - Top Ten Live Aid Performances w/Shannon Hurley
July 13, 2020 00:00 - 2 hours - 170 MBOn July 13 1985 or 35 years ago today, the charitable nature of Bob Geldof, Midge Ure and an avalanche of insane musical talent helped make history with a benefit concert for the ages. On two continents, in front of a television audience of 1.9 billion people, or roughly 40% of the world's population, and presented on stage in front of 175,000 people who thought they had died and gone to live music heaven, Live Aid may well be the greatest day of live music in history. In addition to raising...
Episode 416 - Top Ten Rock N Roll Potty Mouths w/Kara Donahue
July 06, 2020 00:00 - 1 hour - 116 MBTimes like these make us want to speak our minds, and in times like these sometimes what's on our minds requires a certain hint of outrage. The way we see it, what better way to express outrage or a passionate feeling about something than with an off-color remark. George Carlin knew it was an important topic, and so do we. ATTT is joined by an old friend from Ben's Nashville days, singer, performer and all-around excellent person Kara Donahue. Ben and Kara share the same affinity for our, uh...
Episode 415 - Top Ten 60's Rockers In The 80's w/Steve Cunningham
June 29, 2020 00:00 - 1 hour - 150 MBSome of the greatest titans of rock and pop music cut their teeth in the 1960s. Many of these bands and artists were able to stay relevant throughout the 70s, even when disco and punk were setting the musical world on its ear. What's extremely rare is an artist or band that had big time success in the 60s having the staying power or the inexplicable comeback story that made them surprisingly relevant and vital 20 years down the road into the 80s. This was the first time that rockers of all g...
Episode 414 - Top Ten Rage-Inducing Rappers w/Dan Ewen & Guy Opochinski
June 22, 2020 00:00 - 1 hour - 137 MBOnce a year, the folks behind the scenes at ATTT HQ are allowed to go crazy and select topics that celebrate and make fun of bad music. It's their own personal Rumspringa! This year they've gone off the deep end, and selected a topic that produced a playlist so vile, so ridiculous, that it has to be heard to be believed. Top Ten Rage-Inducing Rappers, being a hip-hop episode, called upon us to call upon a couple of our hip-hop specialists. Enter the vaguely funny Dan Ewen and the decently fu...
Episode 413 - Top Ten Songs To Quarantine To w/Jeff Axelrod
June 15, 2020 00:00 - 1 hour - 157 MBWe tried hard to stay away from this topic. We know how stressed out and tired everyone is. We hoped that people here in America would choose the path of compassion and empathy, and do what was needed to work together to defeat a virus that has ravaged the entire planet. Turns out we're going to be stuck in this timeline for a while, and despite how much everyone wants to, we here in the states will not be getting back to normal for a long time. Pal Of The Pod and globetrotting dude extraord...
Episode 412 - Top Ten Susanna Hoffs Tracks w/David Wild
June 08, 2020 00:00 - 1 hour - 145 MBIn our darkest hour, we turn to music. And not just any music. To make a musical icon, we need the following ingredients, post-haste! Take one part love of psychedelic 60's-influenced Beatlesque pop, add one part charisma and straight-up foxiness that seems to last forever, add a soulful voice that is as unique as any rock n roll has ever produced, and just for fun make this woman one of the most genuinely sweet people in music and you get the fabulous Susanna Hoffs. From her time on top of ...

Episode 411 - Top Ten Songs Against Censorship w/Chris Van Gompel
June 01, 2020 00:00 - 1 hour - 133 MBThere must be something in the air, but it seems like the entire country of America is itching to speak its mind these days. 2 things that make the good ol U.S. Of A good, and sometimes great are our free & fair elections, and our freedom of speech. We have every right to say George Floyd's murder was an unconscionable tragedy. We have every right to say the president is a dipshit. It's all engrained in our Constitution, and it's up to the people themselves to use our right to speak our mind...
Episode 410 - Top Ten Motown Artists w/Ryan Blake
May 25, 2020 00:00 - 1 hour - 135 MBI had to look it up, and The Old Boy Himself Ryan Blake has been on ATTT 43 times, including the first 16 episodes starting way back in 2011. We've been through a lot with Ryblake, but one place we've never been is on a Facebook Messenger connection. But things being the way they are, we need to get together with our favorite people in any way we safely can. We also need to have trusted co-hosts around who know what they're doing when attempting an episode topic as sacred as this one. Top Te...
Episode 409 - Top Ten Great Bands With Bad Names w/DJ Hostettler
May 18, 2020 00:00 - 2 hours - 172 MBATTT is continuing its visit to the great state of Wisconsin for a chat with drummist and all-around swell fella DJ Hostettler to break down a topic that is near and dear to our hearts. We have to come clean and tell the world that some of our favorite bands did a terrible job coming up with a name. The bands featured in Top Ten Great Bands With Bad Names are a unique bunch. They thrive in spite of names that are sometimes so bad, they keep people from listening to them. Let's face it, if so...
Episode 408 - Top Ten Songs About Science Volume 2 w/Norb Rozek
May 11, 2020 00:00 - 1 hour - 104 MBNow more than ever, the phrase "now more than ever" needs to be retired. Please accept our humble apologies for using it. While you're recovering, we'd like to turn your attention to something that we can't get enough of in today's wacky world. Science. Good ol research-based, knowledge-based, methodical, organized, rigorous, exacting, mathematical and most importantly factual science. We need science in 2020 like our lives depend on it. In that spirit, we here at ATTT HQ thought it would be...
Episode 407 - Top Ten Songs We Love From Bands We Don't w/David Daskal
May 04, 2020 00:00 - 2 hours - 170 MB*Disclaimer The following episode contains really good to possibly great songs by bands that we definitely don't want to be associated with. This does not constitute an endorsement of the existence of the artists and bands behind the picks. Please keep this in mind as ATTT is joined by the one and only Sir David Daskal, doing his first ever remote episode in style. All but the most putrid of bands and artists we've heard have at least one song that we can get behind, and this episode highli...
Episode 406 - Top Ten Albums Of 1978 w/Gabe Scalone
April 27, 2020 00:00 - 1 hour - 152 MB1978 was more than just a transition year. It wasn't just the year where new wave was new and punk was passe. It was a year for an astounding number of debut albums that would have lasting legacies. 6 bands and artists that currently reside in the Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame put out their debut album in 1978, and most are covered in this here episode. Old pal o' the pod Gabe Scalone is back along with his eclectic taste to take a closer look at a year that was overflowing with great music. Rock...
Episode 405 - Top Ten Songs Sung By The Drummer w/Morty Coyle
April 20, 2020 00:00 - 1 hour - 148 MBAll the best albums in rock and pop history had a certain track, usually buried near the middle of side 2, that embodies the spirit of this week's playlist. The song was not a throwaway, it was not a novelty song, but it was a tad off the beaten path, and many times sung by another member of the band apart from the lead singer. Top Ten Songs Sung By The Drummer is chock full of those little gems that can sometimes fool people into thinking it's another band. If you're still confused the mens...
Episode 404 - Top Ten Rush Albums w/Adam Sears & Etan G.
April 13, 2020 00:00 - 1 hour - 148 MBIn our hour of need, we look to Canada for guidance. Canada has brought the world so many wonderful things, for example Martin Short, ice hockey, and Rush. Neil, Alex and Geddy have given us so much over the years, and we thought it was a good time to take a look at their rich discography and count down the greatest albums of their storied career. Resident Prog Boy Adam Sears and the greatest Rush fan on the planet Etan G take over the show for an episode and help us get to the bottom of wha...
Episode 403 - Top Ten Rock N Roll Smartasses w/Eric Schwartz
April 06, 2020 00:00 - 2 hours - 168 MBWhat does the world need now? More smartasses and less dumbasses. This here podcast episode celebrates the beloved Rock N Roll Smartass, that rare breed of songwriter and musician that embodies a healthy combination of the classic smartass adjectives - subversive, snarky, sarcastic, button-pushing, no-shit-giving, angry, paparazzi-hating, knowledge-filled, potty-mouthed, wry, etc. Basically the smartest people in any given room you put them in, whether they complain about being there or not...
Episode 402 - Top Ten Cathartic Albums w/Maurice Bursztynski
March 30, 2020 00:00 - 2 hours - 171 MBca·thar·sis /kəˈTHärsəs/ noun noun: catharsis; plural noun: catharses 1. the process of releasing, and thereby providing relief from, strong or repressed emotions. "music is a means of catharsis for them" 2. purgation. We've all been through times where we wanted to purge some evil spirits from our souls. We've all wanted to get things off of our chests from time to time. The artists on this week's list know from pain, and they just happened to have songwriting chops and a recording studi...
Episode 401 - Top Ten Big Dumb Songs Volume 2 w/Mike Axelsen
March 23, 2020 00:00 - 1 hour - 149 MBJust when we thought the world couldn't get any lamer, 2020 had to come along. Some day we'll look back on this crapshow and laugh, but for now let's just get really dumb. Like dumb dumb. Pal O' The Pod and fellow admirer of delightfully dumb songs Mike Axelsen joins the pod for a show about those songs we love that are one sandwich short of a picnic. We're talking DUMB. Plus the songs on this list were big hits! Big and dumb, that's what we're all about, boy howdy! If you missed Big Dumb ...
Episode 400 - Top Ten Controversial Band Member Replacements w/Nick Baker
March 16, 2020 00:00 - 1 hour - 133 MBHey everybody, who has 2 thumbs, 400 episodes, and a big disbelieving grin on his face? This guy. Thank you so much for sticking with us through thick and thin, and here's to 400 more. This episode was taped back in a simpler time, February of 2020, when the air smelled like hope. Actually I went out to the park today and the air still smelled like hope. Hashtag Songs Of Hope. Anyway, our special guest this week, Nick Baker and your humble host had a swell time breaking down our list of the ...
Episode 399 - Grammy 'Best New Artist' Winners Of The 70s Worst To First w/Shannon Hurley & Diane Stroud
March 09, 2020 00:00 - 2 hours - 172 MBAlthough they have made 'some' strides in recent years, the Grammy Academy has always been suspect in gauging the best music of any given year. From rock to disco to punk to new wave, the 1970s were arguably the best decade in the history of popular music, and yet so many artists and bands that currently reside in the Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame, or are held as the best of all time in the court of public opinion just didn't get the love they deserved from the Grammys in their heyday. This is es...
Episode 398 - Top Ten Songs With Fast Singing w/Tony Ross
March 02, 2020 00:00 - 1 hour - 136 MBThe weird, wild and wonderful world of fast singing is a delightful place to spend an hour and a half, and probably not much more beyond that. It can be downright exhausting listening to these singers busting a lung and a tongue. Veteran fast-sung-song aficionado Tony Ross joins the pod for a highly silly episode all about those little gems of manic goodness. Word to the wise, try not to get these frenetic tunes stuck in your head, lest you ever sleep again. Big shout out to the great Stev...
Episode 397 - Top Ten Essential Rockabilly Artists w/Thad Wawro & Susan Atkinson
February 24, 2020 00:00 - 1 hour - 147 MBEarly on in the making of the musical stew that would eventually become rock n roll, a batch was cooked up that was one part country, one part stripped-down western swing, and one part rhythm & blues. They added a dash of attitude the result was lean & mean 2 minute rockers drenched with reverb and echo to spare. They called it "Rockabilly" and its unique combination of styles made it the perfect appetizer and inspiration for all of the rock that we've loved over the past 60 years or so. Lon...
Episode 396 - Top Ten Movie Musician Portrayals w/Matt Dinan, Julia Marchese & Ryan Stockstad
February 17, 2020 00:00 - 2 hours - 177 MBWho likes movies? Who likes biopic movies? Who likes biopic movies about musicians? We do! Some of the best performances in cinematic history have been movie musician portrayals, and the hardest part to pull off is when the movie is based on a real musician. That's what ATTT is all about this week, and we've got just the crew for this monumental task. Matt Dinan, Julia Marchese and Ryan Stockstad are 3 of the biggest movie nerds in all of Los Angeles county, which pretty much puts them in th...

Episode 393 - Top Ten Hit Songs With Odd Time Signatures w/Dustin Prince
January 27, 2020 00:00 - 1 hour - 124 MBAny old schmo with an abacus can do the math and whip up a song in an odd time signature. What's tough is to write a song in 7/8 or 13/4 or 5/4 that people actually want to hear outside of the nutty math-rock folks (who we adore). To write an honest to Jebez HIT SONG with an odd time signature is such an incredibly impressive magic trick, we felt the topic warranted it's own episode of ATTT. Of course our ol pal Dustin Prince is more than up for the gig, as he drums with the best of em. To t...
Episode 392 - Top Ten Rock N Roll Storytellers Vol. 1 w/Nikki Kreuzer
January 20, 2020 00:00 - 2 hours - 167 MBWho doesn't love a good story? Add in some music and a catchy chorus and you've got what only the most brilliant minds in music can create - a great story song. Storytelling songwriters are a special breed. Many that write story songs in the genres of rock, pop, folk and country like to explore the darker, more tragic, desperate or downtrodden sides of humanity, to compelling effect. ATTT is overwhelmed to have such an awesome guest, and one who absolutely nailed her first ever episode. Writ...
Episode 391 - Top Ten Under-Appreciated Bands & Artists Of The 80's w/Frank Nicotero
January 13, 2020 00:00 - 1 hour - 148 MBTo be under-appreciated is to be snubbed, to be left out of the conversation as to who is the greatest of the greatest. To be under-appreciated properly you have to be snubbed by the critics, the snobs, and even the lowly hipsters. You can't even get into a discussion about being snubbed by the Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame to qualify. To be deemed worthy amongst die hard fans and little else is to be under-appreciated, and the 1980s definitely had its fair share of artists and bands that just do...
Episode 390 - Top Ten Songs Of 2019 Part 2 w/Shannon Hurley, Linda Trujillo & David Daskal
January 06, 2020 00:00 - 1 hour - 129 MBAs we put one decade to bed and dive head first into a new one, we here at ATTT HQ feel it is our solemn duty to stick up for a year as insanely crappy as 2019 was by showing how even a year that was a dumpster fire of a train wreck can still have a kick ass soundtrack, if you know where to look. Thankfully, Shannon Hurley, Linda Trujillo and David Daskal have done their homework, and we finish our count down with #10-#1 of our doubly-fun 2-part episode. If you missed Part 1, check out our ...
Episode 389 - Top Ten Songs Of 2019 Part 1 w/Shannon Hurley, Linda Trujillo & David Daskal
December 30, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 122 MB2019 was a year. That's just about the best thing I can say about it. Oh yeah, and there was some awesome music too. For proof of this, look no further than ATTT's patented year-end podcast and the start of Season 9 as we bring in our usual gang of four to break down 20 of the best songs of the year. Shannon Hurley, Linda Trujillo and the mighty David Daskal reach far and wide across the musical landscape to bring you 20-11 of our extended 2-part podcast, with 10-1 dropping in next week's ep...
Episode 388 - Top Ten Songs From Beavis & Butthead w/Ira Eisen
December 23, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 92.5 MBHappy Holidays from your grinchy friends at ATTT, who cooked up this extremely silly and stupid episode just for you to be able to turn your brain off to during this festive season. Ben's brother Ira was in town and the boys recall how they bonded over B&B back in the heyday of MTV's glory years, and they share their favorite moments of genius that came from watching Beavis and Butthead watch music videos from some of the best (and worst) bands of all time. Technical note, we do apologize fo...
Episode 387 - Top Ten Albums Of 1991 w/Ryan, Andy and Cody of Il Destro
December 16, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 152 MBKids these days don't know how good we had it. 1991 was a supernova convergence of tectonic shifts in the popular music landscape. In '91 hip hop was settling artfully into the next phase of growth in its inevitable takeover of the Billboard charts, while at the same time rumblings were coming from the Pacific Northwest and elsewhere that would signal the moment when punk rock became mainstream, in the form of 'grunge'. Some of the most beloved bands of all time put out their absolute best r...
Episode 386 - Top Ten Hard Rock Bands Of The 21st Century Vol. 1 w/Raf, Steve, Mike & Alexis of Viserra
December 09, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 128 MBDon't let anyone tell you rock is dead. Its not, it's just at a low point currently, in terms of its relevance in pop culture. You can blame MTV for abandoning it, or commercial radio for homogenizing it into submission, or just the lack of rock superstars that can write great songs. Or, you can look beyond the mainstream and realize that rock isn't going anywhere, and the first 2 decades of the 21st Century have a lot to offer in rock, if you know where to look. This week's podcast is all a...
Episode 385 - Top Ten Songs For Donald Trump Volume 4 w/Nyaze Vincent
December 02, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 113 MBWhy do we do this every year?
