All Time Top Ten

Just because we 'can' talk about this stuff doesn't mean we 'should' talk about it, but we're gonna anyway. Musicals have come a long way over the years, as has our society, present moment notwithstanding. There are just some narrative subjects, or bits of dialogue or song lyric or casting choices, that you just can't get away with in today's world. We're willing to bet that approximately 0% of the shows we get into in Top Ten Problematic Musicals could be made today. But they are fun to talk about, good or bad. Speaking of fun, ATTT has done the impossible and reunited the Breakfast Cereal Mascot crew to do the dirty work of counting down our favorite Problematic Musicals. Shannon Hurley, Joe Lavelle and Kate Bundy are ready and able to get into some squishy subjects with the appropriate amount of levity.

"Someone might say, I don't understand music; but most people experience music emotionally and would agree that music is an abstraction. You don't need to put music into words right away—you just listen. Cinema is a lot like music. It can be very abstract, but people have a yearning to make intellectual sense of it, to put it right into words." - David LynchSomeone might say the world lost a giant earlier this year, when the beloved David Lynch shrugged off this mortal coil and bid farewell to the world. As sad as David's passing is, we're beyond lucky to have access to his art and we can experience a work of David Lynch as many times as we want. We can also have a great discussion and a fine playlist that highlights some of the best Lynchian musical moments. Here in Top Ten Songs From The Works Of David Lynch Part 2, we reveal picks 5-1 and wrap up our epic tribute to the man.

Artists, complicated and strange so they may seem, are the lifeblood of creativity and man-and-woman-made joy on this bleak planet of ours.

"This is not a time to be dismayed, this is punk rock time. This is what Joe Strummer trained you for. It is now time to go. You're a good person. That means more now more than ever." - Henry RollinsWe could not have said it better, Henry. If 2025 isn't punk rock time, then when is?

30 years ago should not be nearly as long ago as it is. To me and my fellow Gen-Xer pal Dustin Prince, 1995 seems like just a few years ago. Even though some of it is a blur, we do have vivid nostalgic memories of that fine year, and musically speaking, 1995 ranks up there with just about any year you can name. As it happens to come in the middle of the decade, the music of '95 is a great encapsulation of the previous 5 years and the following 5 years. It's the most 90's year ever!

The concept of the prog artist going pop is so well-known that it's almost a cliche. We still love you, Phil Collins! But what about the inverse? What happens when our favorite pop bands and artists get the "prog bug" and go off the deep end? This is a concept that almost nobody talks about but greatly interests us here at ATTT HQ. It doesn't always work, but when Pop Goes Prog and it does work, the results can be an artist-or-band-career-defining moment. Thankfully we have access to a couple of mensches that know their pop and know their prog. The great Fernando Perdomo and the also great Matt Tecu join for what turned out to be a ridiculous good time in TOP TEN TIMES POP WENT PROG. Picks 10-6 are featured here in Part 1.

What is power pop? The Who's Pete Townshend coined the term in a May 1967 interview promoting their latest single "Pictures of Lily". He said: "Power pop is what we play—what the Small Faces used to play, and the kind of pop the Beach Boys played in the days of 'Fun, Fun, Fun' which I preferred." So take one part Moptop Beatles melodies and harmonies, add in the powerful punch of The Who and The Kinks , mix in some great songs about unrequited love and voila, power pop is born. Despite the persistent pattern of great power pop bands being criminally under-loved, this hearty genre has had a long shelf life and still gets love to this day. Brent Stranathan and Jeremy Levy of the great power pop band Near Beer join to help ATTT scratch the surface of this beloved genre. Picks 10-6 are revealed in the first of many volumes of Top Ten Essential Power Pop Bands. Viva power pop!Near Beer is in your face on stage and in your earholes on your stereo.

Folks, you don't need me to tell you this is a stressful time. Fortunately for us here in the good ol' US of A, we have several options for releasing stress. In this country we have the right to listen to music. Believe it or not music is strictly forbidden in some places. That's because the powers that be know music has a way to galvanize people like no other art form. Another way to relieve stress is to exercise your right to vote. It's the most valuable thing we have, this freedom of choice. It's such an incredible thing that people take it for granted. Well not anymore!

There comes a time when we heed a certain call.  And now you have the greatest charity single of all time stuck in your head for the rest of the day. Sorry not sorry. Our certain call is to gather the ATTT All-Stars together and assign them a mission.

One common thread among the best of the best artists to ever do it in music is a sense of adventurousness. Music's greatest creative minds could never be held down by something called "genre". They play, write, produce and record whatever they want whenever they want to in whatever style suits them in the moment. Some of these musical geniuses are the best to ever do it in multiple genres. To tackle a topic this monumental ATTT needed to bring in a ringer. A dude that knows from musical adventurousness. It's the fabulous RIck Torres, making his return to the pod! In Top Ten Musical Chameleons Part 1, we take a look at some of our favorite genre blending or bending mega-talented artistes.

Whether from a featured placement in a commercial, tv show, movie, or a Tik Tok, songs are going viral all the time and we want to know how and why. How does one tap into this seemingly invisible force that suddenly has everyone loving Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams" or Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill"? It's a truly 21st Century cultural phenomenon that always makes us perk up and take notice of some piece of music we may not have ever thought of otherwise. Enter our good friend and bandmate, guitar wizard and studio savant, the great Steve Krolikowski of the band Datamaps, in his first solo outing on ATTT. Just like us, Steve has a lot of opinions, and a list of songs that we think could and should get the viral sensation treatment. However it happens, make it so, culture gods!

We here at ATTT HQ hope you aren't cooking up some hate mail for us in the wake of what happened in Classic Albums Worst To First : Revolver Part 1. Feelings were definitely hurt and toes were stepped on. However, we've decided that since we're now highlighting the best of the best in Part 2, no one shall be allowed to be butthurt by the Worst To First placements of the 7 songs making up the top half of our list. This is rarified air, to be in the top half of the songs on The Beatles all-time classic album Revolver. The song quality is off the charts, as we find Fab Four entering their prime in 1966. Whatever order you'd prefer, the songs of Revolver redefined what rock n roll could be. Thanks again to the great Shannon Hurley and 2 of our favorite people, Marina V and Nick Baker for a hilarious good time.If you missed our presentation of picks 14-8 in Part 1, get it here on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get yours:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/episode-623-classic-albums-worst-to-first-revolver/id573735994?i=1000660781993Nick and Marina are always working on new material and there's exciting stuff happening these days.
