Episode 381 - Top Ten Existential Songs Volume 4 w/Gabe Scalone
November 04, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 156 MBCamus can do, but Sartre is smarter. If you thought this statement was humorous you are clearly either a Simpsons fanatic with an affinity for the golden years, or a stone cold philosopher. Either way, you will likely be a fan of Top Ten Existential Songs Volume 4, with the wise Gabe Scalone, back for one last time on the Skype Machine (hey it took some doing but we got it sounding good) before he starts making his way back to LA for the sole purpose of doing episodes of All Time Top Ten in ...
Episode 380 - Top Ten Songs About (Fictional) Monsters w/Matt Dinan
October 28, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 127 MBHappy Halloween from your morbid pals at All Time Top Ten! Mr. Halloween Himself Matt Dinan is back to horrify you with songs that pay tribute to - or give grave warnings about - some of the greatest monsters in film and literary history, plus some new ones that can go toe to toe with any beast that HP Lovecraft could have ever conjured up in his wildest twisted fantasies. Top Ten Songs About (Fictional) Monsters is all about variety too. We got demons, werewolves, vampires, witches, Freddi...
Episode 379 - Top Ten Percussion Instruments w/Alex LaBorwit
October 21, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 113 MBUnless you're one of those who ride or die exclusively with Norwegian black metal, there's a good chance that at least half of the tunes you know and love feature some kind of percussion instrument in the mix. These underrated and invaluable instruments provide color, life, drive, dynamics, motion and/or flair to make your favorite song as great as it is. Imagine "September" by Earth Wind & Fire without that driving bongo track. Imagine "Hair Of The Dog" without that immortal cowbell. As leg...
Episode 378 - Top Ten Songs From The Great American Songbook Volume 3 w/Joe Lavelle
October 14, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 150 MBLong before the Brill Building, Tin Pan Alley ruled the pop charts and the streets of Broadway. This era's amazing collection of songs has been given a very dignified and fitting moniker - the Great American Songbook. The writers of the timeless tunes that grace this beloved book are some of the most legendary artists in American history, and the very souls that gave America its first ever contribution to world culture in the first half of the 20th Century. Fellow Music-Historian-In-Training...

Episode 376 - Top Ten UK Rock Bands Of The 21st Century w/Brandon Schott
September 30, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 146 MBHow do! All Time Top Ten's Brit Month is wrapping up in style with an overview of the best UK rock bands of the past 20 years. Those rockin' Brits have come a long way since Beatlemania blew things wide open 55 years ago. The bands of the past 2 decades feel like a culmination of everything we've heard all month long - great pop songwriting, moody introspection, tongue in cheek... uh cheekiness, and the sound of shimmering guitars over a mighty backbeat. Make no mistake, rock n roll isn't de...
Episode 375 - Top Ten UK Rock Bands Of The 90s w/Chrissy Olsen
September 23, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 115 MBATTT's highly fashionable series Brit Month keeps on keeping on with a fascinating look at the bands that made the UK rock scene in the 90s. As we all know, the 90s brought the age of irony to an entire generation, and the Brits were more than receptive to it. There might have been "better" decades in British rock, but there was definitely no "cooler" decade than the 90s. All over England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, bands took the best of what came before - pop, rock, electronic, ...
Episode 374 - Top Ten UK Rock Bands Of The 80s w/Jeff Axelrod
September 16, 2019 00:00 - 2 hours - 181 MBAs Britain's Parliament goes through another week of pantsing themselves while giving themselves atomic wedgies, we here at ATTT are DETERMINED to cheer them up by reminding the world of just how rich their rock n roll history truly is. That's why we invented Brit Month, a semi-comprehensive look at the best UK rock n roll bands by decade. The 80s is where things got wonky, and styles of rock ran as far away from each other as possible, making for an incomprehensible stew of new wave, punk, ...
Episode 373 - Top Ten UK Rock Bands Of The 70s w/Steve Deutsch
September 09, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 131 MBGod knows what's happening over in Parliament these days, but around here we admire and respect the Brits for their uncanny ability to make some of the best rock n roll on the planet! Take for instance, UK Rock Bands Of The 1970s. Believe us, for this week's episode there were more great bands that DIDN'T make the list than great ones that made the cut. Spoiler: they're all great. The uncanny musician and producer Steve Deutsch joins the pod for a look at some of the best UK rock bands of th...
Episode 372 - Top Ten 60's British Invasion Bands w/Elizabeth Eisen
September 02, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 112 MBWe here at ATTT HQ are hardcore anglophiles, especially for their music. The UK has had an incredible track record for bringing the world great rock n roll, and given all of their recent, uh... troubles, we thought we'd pay tribute to the Brits by dedicating an entire month's worth of podcasts to the greatest rock bands to ever emerge from England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. We kick things off with the decade that defined the term British Invasion. The 60s were a great time for mu...
Episode 371 - Top Ten Unexpected Hits From Unexpected Artists w/David Daskal
August 26, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 118 MBOnce in a blue moon a song will come along that defies all expectations. A band or artist that is known and beloved for THIS is suddenly back and putting out THIS, THIS being that certain song that nobody saw coming. These are songs that changed music history, especially for the artists involved. The honorable David Daskal is back for another go-around with this fruitful topic. Top Ten Unexpected Hits From Unexpected Artists will get you thinking about the sheer randomness of fortune and how...
Episode 370 - Top Ten Rage-Inducing Covers w/Shannon Hurley
August 19, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 119 MBOnce a year we here at ATTT HQ have a little bit of fun at our listeners' expense. We always look forward to that annual tradition where we bring out the stinkiest songs known to the world and are so very terrible that they fill us with white hot rage. We're over the moon excited that the Rage-Inducing Numbers Girl herself Shannon Hurley was into doing Volume 5 of our Rage Series, and we thought it would make it an extra painful experience if we focused this volume squarely on cover songs. Y...
Episode 369 - Top Ten Woodstock Performances w/Bob Mutascio
August 12, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 146 MB50 years ago this week, the grandaddy of all music festivals was held at Yasgur's Farm in upstate New York. 400,000 people crashed the party, but it was all good, or mostly good. From Friday August 15th at around 5pm until way past sunrise on Monday August 18th, the crowd got their collective minds blown again and again by 32 incredible bands and artists, all playing at the top of their game in a culmination of all of the great things that generation did throughout the 60's. For 3 1/2 days t...
Episode 368 - Top Ten Guilty Pleasures Of The 80's Volume 2 w/Chris & Justin Wolffing
August 05, 2019 13:00 - 1 hour - 103 MBWe've painted this picture for you before. It's a lovely summer evening on the road. You hit a stoplight and a car pulls up next to you. "I Can't Wait" from Nu Shooz comes blaring out of your car speakers. What do you do? Do you roll up your windows in shame? Or do you crank it up like a rock n roll animal who can't get enough of Nu Shooz's only hit? Or do you roll up the windows but keep listening, because deep down you love that song, no matter how embarrassing it would be if people knew. ...
Episode 367 - Top Ten Iconic Pieces Of Classical Music Vol. 1 w/Jacob Clarke
July 29, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 160 MBAs much as we love our rock n roll, the crew here at ATTT HQ have a deep abiding respect, admiration and maybe even an affinity for classical music. From the Baroque Era to the Great Romantics, there is little that can compare with music written by gods. The names of the composers on this week's list read like a who's who of some of the greatest artists to ever walk the planet. We are excited to bring in a first time guest, Mr Jacob Clarke, actor, musician, mensch and all around know it all,...
Episode 366 - Top Ten Heavy Metal Albums Of The 80's w/Alex Dubovoy
July 22, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 121 MBAnyone that knows anything about the history of the genre will agree that the 1980s were the golden years of heavy metal. This is the decade that defined it, that gave it staying power, that made it a legit art form in the eyes of fans and critics alike. Bands staked out their niches in the metalverse and became legends. Through these legends come the dozens and dozens of subgenres and sub-subgenres that we know today, and they all can be traced back to their defining moments in the 80s. Ent...
Episode 365 - Top Ten Songs Never Before Played On All Time Top Ten w/Ryan Blake
July 15, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 110 MBAs we looked back on 365 episodes of the podcast that won't die, The Old Boy Himself Ryan Blake and your humble host found that there were a surprisingly ridiculous number of great songs that for whatever reason have not made it onto any top ten list. We thought it might be fun to dig into the archives and the MASTER LIST (you have to say it like that) and pick out some songs that are so great they don't need a topic, they just need to be heard. Stream this playlist on Spotify: https://open...
Episode 364 - Top Ten Bands On Sub Pop Records Past And Present w/Paul Larson & Ian McKinnon
July 08, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 154 MBAll Time Top Ten has been around for a while and we've never done an episode that broke down the best from a specific record label until now. What better label to start a new tradition with than with the iconic Sub Pop Records? Sub Pop has had a huge hand in the evolution of rock n roll for over 30 years, and continues to be the tastemaker label that defines indie rock to this very day. Our guests this week Paul Larson and Ian McKinnon are intimately connected with Sub Pop, as you'll hear in...
Episode 363 - Top Ten Bond-esque Songs w/Matt Dinan and Gabe Scalone
July 01, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 123 MBJames Bond theme songs are a complete musical subgenre all their own. We can attempt to try to describe them - dramatic, over-the-top, cinematic, filled with danger, intrigue, surfy-guitar, creeping bass lines, horn stabs, swelling orchestras - basically you know 'em when you hear 'em. This week's special guests know a thing or two about Bond and Bond theme songs, as long time ATTT listeners know. Matt Dinan and Gabe Scalone are two of the biggest Bond fanatics in the universe, and we're tak...
Episode 362 - Top Ten Songs Over 10 Minutes Long w/Adam Sears
June 24, 2019 00:00 - 2 hours - 171 MBSometimes you want to stretch out and play some multi-suite epic composition that's not only about aliens and time travel, but is an allegory for existence itself. Or sometimes you just want to rock out for a loooooong long time. Either way, there are some incredibly worthy songs that for whatever reason clock in at a hefty 10+ minutes. Fans of prog rock, like this week's guest Adam Sears, know it all too well - the expansive, mind-blowing 23 minute prog rock masterpiece that must be listene...

Episode 360 - Top Ten Misheard Lyrics aka Mondegreens w/Ryan Stockstad
June 10, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 130 MBWe all know those special moments, riding in a car with your buddies, singing along to your favorite song. We all know the dawning horror that creeps into your brain as you realize there's a lyric coming up that you've always sang a certain way, but you know deep down 'your' lyrics are way off and possibly embarrassing. What do you do? Stop singing? Sing gibberish? We think you should sing that all time refrain "give me the Beach Boys and free my soul" at the top of your lungs like the proud...
Episode 359 - Top Ten Rock N Roll Power Couples w/Brad Watson and Dana Ziegler
June 03, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 145 MBWhat's better than one rock star? Two rock stars of course. When two people find romance while helping each other create some of the best music ever made, the result is the legendary rock n roll power couple. Power-couple-in-the-making Brad Watson and Dana Ziegler drop by GoodList Studios for a chat about music & romance and how when both are done well, they can be a great and sometimes intense combination. Not all of them stood the test of time, but the dynamic duos we're highlighting in th...
