Yesterday (12/5/2024) WXPN started counting down “The
885 Greatest Songs of the 21st Century,” as voted by its listeners. My
picks are below. I voted somewhat strategically, with the idea that songs that
never got played on the station would have little chance of making the list.
(The exception is #10, which was so huge that I thought it might have a shot anyway.)
1.
From A Windowseat (made the countdown at #745) –
Dawes
2.
Put Your Records On – Corinne Bailey Rae (#142)
3.
Satellite – Guster (#802)
4.
My City Of Ruins – Bruce Springsteen (#357)
5.
Help Me – Low Cut Connie (NA)
6.
Sailing To Philadelphia – Mark Knopfler (#301)
7.
Silver Lining – Rilo Kiley (#520)
8.
Uptown Funk – Mark Ronson w/Bruno Mars (#19)
9.
Dark Necessities – Red Hot Chili Peppers (NA)
10.
Blinding Lights – The Weeknd (#419)
