Such an incredible set of 20 songs as we dig deeper into the Top 2000 in the rock era, over 65 years! The Beatles are here, of course, plus 7 bridesmaids (songs that peaked at #2). One of the greatest funk riffs of the 70's, a classic cover of one of the most iconic folk songs of all time, and some slippity-slide hip hop from the 90's. And that goofy talk box instrument.
Two special segments on Yacht Rock, is it a good name? Is it a good genre? Is it even a genre?
Come be a part of the greatest countdown podcast ever! We have fans in over 75 countries and over 1000 cities worldwide.
I am not affiliated with Billboard nor with American Top 40. Just a huge fan that loves to talk about pop music.
