Shout out to Eric Idle and the Pythons. They ask the important questions, such as... Why are we here? What's life all about? Is God really real, or is there some doubt? Well tonight we're going to sort it all out. Tonight it's Part 2 of Top Ten Existential Songs Volume 5 featuring the enigmatic Gabe Scalone. We're back with picks 5-1 in our look at songs that address the things Sartre, Camus, and Nietzsche opined about. The topic - existence.

"I can always choose, but I ought to know that if I do not choose, I am still choosing. There is no human nature, since there is no god to conceive it. Existentialism's first move is to make every man aware of what he is and to make the full responsibility of his existence rest on him." - Jean-Paul Sartre2024 is the perfect year to bring back this well-worn and well-loved topic of ours. Of course if we're talking existentialism and rock n roll, we need to bring back ATTT's very own Rock N Roll Philosopher, Sir Gabe Scalone. We're back with more picks that land somewhere between existential dread, existential wonder and a full-blown existential crisis. The good news is the music is sublime and this topic gives us a chance to take a few detours on our quest to find the best songs that ask the questions we all have about this weird life.

It's been called the most shocking American youth movement in history. When it stormed out of the gates in the 1970s, punk rock told the world that the way things are is unacceptable. The people that defined the scene spit in the face of conformity and the social order, and they did it with humor, irreverence and musical brutality. The punk scene in Los Angeles was (and still is) home to some of the most iconic personalities of the genre, and was led by bands that defined it as they was simultaneously transcending it. Here in TOP TEN L.A. PUNK BANDS Part 2, we wrap up our conversation with the mensch of the hour Severo, who brings his musical insight and wit to the proceedings as we reveal picks 5-1 .If you missed picks 10-6 and the fun we had in Part 1, check it out here:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/episode-611-top-ten-l-a-punk-bands-part-1-w-severo/id573735994?i=1000651767216If you still haven't gotten enough L.A. punk, check out this awesome Spotify playlist featuring every song heard in Parts 1 & 2:https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5txY59JXatz8rMYWitfbE6?si=cb69807f94e14c4bIf you don't know Severo, know him.

For decades, the thriving punk scene in Los Angeles has pushed boundaries, invented entire subgenres out of whole cloth, and provided the sonic and visual blueprint for the rest of the world to follow. The LA punk scene has also been home to some of the most iconic bands in the history of the genre. It's a fascinating look through the decades, and one we're super stoked to get into. TOP TEN L.A. PUNK BANDS is a golden opportunity to introduce a new voice and personality to the ATTT universe. We're excited to sit down with legendary musician and all-around swell fellow Severo, who brings some great insight to this topic as well as more than a few laughs.

Diana Ross. The Supremes. Diana Ross & The Supremes. Any way you combine it, you get musical gold. Style, sophistication, class, consummate musicianship and songwriting, and those voices. Diana Ross and The Supremes had it all, and can go toe to toe with any artists on the planet in terms of commercial and artistic success. ATTT is on the road this week, broadcasting from sunny Florida where we paid a visit to a beloved Eisen, the delightful Aunt Helene. Helene has seen a thing or two, and that includes The Supremes and Diana Ross live in concert. We used this as a jumping off point and an excuse to do a Diana/The Supremes episode, where we feature the best of the best from all of the iterations, including Diana's stellar solo career. So many great hits, so much musical majesty. As a bonus we were also joined by the illustrious Shannon Hurley to offer songwriting and production commentary, and because she's the coolest ever.

Considering most of our favorite rock stars live extraordinarily fascinating lives, you'd think there would be more of them writing songs about specific things they've experienced. In fact, there aren't that many but the songs we do have are cool little glimpses into the personal lives of our musical heroes. In TOP TEN AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL SONGS, the mighty Jason Berk joins to discuss and play our favorites from this exceedingly rare selection.

There's nothing more fascinating than a good rock n roll origin story, especially when said rock n roll artist or band writes a song about that story. Then there are songs that tell stories of crazy things that happened to these artists and bands, and helped shape their rock n roll persona. ATTT's main mensch Jason Berk dropped by to help us count down our favorite AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL SONGS, those ditties that give a hint of how some of our favorite stars and bands came to be.

Folks! There are some big goings-on in the ATTT universe these days. Thankfully we get by with a little help from people like our friend Joe Lavelle, who has graciously volunteered to help bring back a format we haven't used in a while but are excited to dust off for your listening pleasure. As we all know, the best podcasts never prepare anything and just wing it. Well in a roundabout way that's what we're up to around here. Emergency Pod turns All Time Top Ten into a "Who's Line Is It Anyway"-style improv game where instead of "yes and", our phrase is "check out this amazing song that I just pulled out of thin air". Joe Lavelle has some improv experience so he's the perfect guest to help us bring the concept back, and we promise to keep Emergency Pod going with monthly bonus episodes on Patreon.Patreon is back! We're cooking up monthly installments of Emergency Pod exclusively for our Patreon People. $5 a month gets you full access!https://www.patreon.com/alltimetoptenCheck out the Spotify playlist for this episode and see if you can make it make sense:https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7lRsjz0FUMiwpafvmh02rm?si=82aecd01262a4867Thanks to all who have joined the ATTT Podcast Music Chat over on Facebook Groups.

Time to step up on that high horse for a second. Ahem... there's a severe lack of bands these days, and in our sad estimation, the concept of the band has been devalued to the detriment of modern music. We know some of the biggest rock stars of all time from their bands, and while some band members have been able to make a go at it as solo artists, others... not as much. These are the most famous one hit wonders ever, but we're glad they at least had the one. Sir Jeff Axelrod, our expatriate friend joins for the conclusion of our discussion of the greatest SOLO ONE HIT WONDERS of all time. Picks 5-1 are featured in Part 2.If you missed Top Ten Solo One Hit Wonders Part 1, get it wherever you get podcasts or here on Apple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/episode-604-top-ten-solo-one-hit-wonders-part-1-w-jeff-axelrod/id573735994?i=1000645859965Please enjoy this convenient playlist on Spotify.

There's real truth to the notion that being in a band is like being in a relationship, for better or for worse. For many of the greatest bands of all time, each member contributes to the chemistry that makes the band so great. Many times band members feel the need to go solo and even though they are rock stars when they're in their bands, as solo artists they are merely one hit wonders. This phenomenon sheds a light on the importance of band dynamics, and the possible limitations of their parts in relation to the sum of them. Our old friend Jeff Axelrod phones in from his home in China with a fun little concept for the pod. Top Ten Solo One Hit Wonders explores these singular hits from artists you know from some of the best bands ever.

At a certain point during Top Ten Two Man Bands Part 1, the conversation with Fernando Perdomo and Michael Collins of the phenomenal two man band Broken Sound sorta went off the rails. Many of our favorite ATTT hangs have this feature as a selling point. The good news is in Part 2, we never ever got back on the rails. It's a rail-less pod, in the best possible way. We can't thank Fern and Michael enough for taking the time to jabber with us about our favorite Two Man Bands.

Before you get yourself in a tizzy over the title of this episode, try to imagine how lame it would be to call it "Top Ten Two Person Bands". No thanks. For our purposes here the word 'man' is a catch-all for everybody, and we certainly did live up to our inclusive credo. ATTT is delighted to welcome back the fabulous Fernando Perdomo and newcomer Michael Collins to the show to help promote their awesome new TWO MAN BAND called Broken Sound, and to chat about what it means to be a two man band in all of its iterations. We also played some great music. Whether or not the conversation went completely off the rails or just slightly off is up to you.

The word 'legendary' and the city of L.A. go hand in hand. Los Angeles is where the magic happens for so much of what the world loves, not just in movies and tv but certainly in music. In addition to some all time great homegrown bands, many of the finest studio musicians call this place home. Thousands of chart topping hits have been turned out in the iconic studios of the City Of Angels, and the cats featured in this week's episode played on dozens if not hundreds of them. ATTT is excited to kick off Season 13 with two legends in their own right. Bass playing mensches that they are, David Jenkins and Jennifer Jo Oberle have played on countless sessions themselves and they bring their historical wisdom and amazing taste to help us count down the Top Ten Legendary L.A.

Ah, the 'before times', back before international terrorism and plagues of the body and mind. A simpler time. In the year 2000 we partied, for the most part, and our music reflected that. Inspired by an ages-old bit from the Conan O'Brien show, we've decided to embark on a trip - to the future! In the year 2000 there were tons of great songs released to the world, and the Old Boy Himself Ryan Blake made his triumphant return to GoodList Studios to take a listen to some of the best. Top Ten Songs Of The Year 2000 Part 1 features picks 10-6, and a good solid chat with our buddy Ryblake.In case you didn't know, the ATTT1000 is a playlist!https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1dmYMmJDAAK1B6CxS9msYO?si=0256da2015b84e1ahttps://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2Sj57_93sSc5g3NUhDTwU-_JBMJg385G

At ATTT HQ it's a long-standing tradition. Once a year just for fun we like to turn our spotlight on the miserable, the subpar, the poor, the lame, the wrong and the downright terrible side of music. Usually these "Rage-Inducing" playlists are hard to listen to. Not so this time around! Even though yes we're playing music we despise, it's music that almost everybody else loves! Fan and host favorite Joe Lavelle is ready to get his rage on for the first time, and we are joined by our old pal Amy Wohlitz, who may be only known to long-long-long time listeners (her last show was in 2014), or perhaps she's known to fellow perusers of the archives. Either way we're so happy to have Joe and Amy join us for TOP TEN RAGE-INDUCING SONGS WE HATE THAT EVERYBODY ELSE LOVES!

We firmly believe that David Bowie will be one of a select few artists from modern pop music that scholars and fans alike will be enjoying 100 years from now. Not only was he a prolific pioneer, he also, on dozens of occasions, took the music genre of his choosing to unimaginable heights by simply giving it the Bowie treatment. Every record he released was an event and a singular achievement, and he did it for nearly 50 years. The honorable Gabe Scalone returns to help us wrap up our look at the great albums that Bowie gave us, for which we are forever grateful. Top Ten David Bowie Albums Part 2 breaks down the best of the best with picks 5-1.If you missed Top Ten David Bowie Albums Part 1, start here or wherever you get your podcasts:https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/alltimetopten/episodes/2023-10-30T04_00_00-07_00Clocking in at over 90 minutes of amazingness, the Top Ten David Bowie Albums Spotify playlist is the best deep dive you can get short of listening to the entire discography:https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5MAI9bh9acLoJr0ZxXPcuA?si=97643136f7964cdfStill can't get enough Bowie?

As far as album artists that dominated the album era, the late great David Bowie is among the all-timers. From 1969 to 1980 he put out 13 albums, all of which had the critics blown away and audiences and the music listening public clamoring for more. And Bowie gave them more, continuing to put out mind-bending material all the way until his untimely death in 2016. Gabe Scalone is an ATTT favorite for many reasons, among them he tends to nerd out to the extreme, just like the best of us. Ben and Gabe both listened to David Bowie's entire catalog in preparation for TOP TEN DAVID BOWIE ALBUMS and we think we've put together a damn fine playlist highlighting songs from David's many masterpieces.

We all know the basic premise of a guilty pleasure song. Some may deride the concept of hiding your affection for a particular tune from your hipster friends out of embarrassment or the desire to appear not uncool. It's a natural thing. It's also natural to get moved by a song that is considered by most to be silly or lame. Well hide your guilt no more! ATTT is here to help, with the aid of our good friend and excellent musician Bryan Meyers, who is on hand to present another volume of songs that we just can't help but love, regardless of how we feel outwardly. There's no shame in any of it! Part 1 features picks 10-6, folks.Bryan's hard working cover band Guilty Pleasure Makers can be found making booties shake all over Southern California.

For a little more than 4 years, the All Time Top Ten Patreon Club put out monthly bonus episodes to the delight of dozens of people! As we say thanks, we salute the fine upstanding members of the ATTT Patreon Club. To honor those who believed in the show enough to put their money where their mouth was and contributed anywhere from $2 to $10 a month, we're giving the Club an official send-off by giving our astute $10 tier members the last say in a bunch of songs that have been played 4 times previously on the show, and we give those songs the retirement they deserve. Once you've been played 5 times on the show, you're given the gold jacket and golf club membership you richly deserve, never to appear on All Time Top Ten again. Anyway help us say goodbye to some great songs and give those who truly believed in the show their due.Check out this incredible playlist on Spotify. As about as good as it gets.https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2rFCO3OwilLYomg86Rww6C?si=27f124f9843c4244

All hail Mama Mo! We are so delighted to welcome the effervescent Maureen Davis into the ATTT fold, as she nailed all of the things on our list. Fun? Check, Funny? Check. Great taste in music? Oh yeah. Maureen helps us bring it all home in Part 2 of our sleepy playlist of our favorite "Sleep" songs. Top Ten "Sleep" Songs is the latest in our patented "Songs That Have A Particular Word In Their Title" series, and our word this time around is "Sleep". We chose this particular word as a sneaky way to help us promote Maureen's excellent and GRAMMY-Nominee-In-Waiting children's music album Sleepyland Band Songs For Bedtime by her studio creation, the Sleepyland Band. It truly was a great hang and a super fun playlist.

We could talk until we're blue in the face about what a bridge is and what the greatest bridges are, and we actually did just that. The fabulous Maurice Bursztynski returns for a knock down drag out discussion about songs and song bridges. We also took little breaks in the middle of arguing to listen to some examples of sublime pop song craft in TOP TEN GREAT BRIDGES Part 2.

Kids, 90s emo ain't your geriatric millennials' emo. This is Gen X giving the world its greatest contribution to popular culture this side of The Simpsons. The 90s were the golden age for guitar-based bands made up of (mostly) dudes that were in touch with their feelings, and had an undeniable urge to scream about it or at least put their unique spin on songs about love and youthful exuberance. The ever-knowledgeable Ryan Stockstad helps ATTT wrap up our conversation about this particular place, time, genre and subgenre that spawned massive successes in the following decade. TOP TEN 90s EMO BANDS Part 2 features the kind of heart-on-sleeve rock that can and will endure in any age.If you missed Part 1, listen to picks 10-6 here:https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/alltimetopten/episodes/2023-08-14T04_00_00-07_00If you liked the music in this episode you MUST hear the songs in their entirety!

The sound of what we've come to know as "emo" from the insane popularity of bands like Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance and Panic! At The Disco in the 2000s differs pretty wildly from the sound of the bands that spawned the genre. 90s emo is a particular brand of emo - much more moody, more lo-fi, more rooted in punk, hardcore, new wave, and bands like Fugazi. In large part thanks to Nirvana, little scenes began popping up all over small town America throughout the 90s, and seemingly random outcroppings like Boise, ID Mesa, AZ, Kansas City, MO and Milwaukee, WI became hotbeds of guitar driven heart-on-sleeve bands made up of kids getting in touch with their emotions while bashing out some cathartic rock n roll. You didn't have to be there, but it helps and this week's guest was right in the thick of it back in the day as was your humble host. Ryan Stockstad makes his long-awaited return to the pod to take a trip down memory lane with a kick ass soundtrack.Ryan's got some fun stuff for you on Youtube if you like movies and such:Halloween Horror Picks:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVRiDw73ddw&list=PLi45zQyp9B6FkqCHlxqndk3iLU0qEOx5MMacon County Movie Club:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zn17pT_AS4U&list=PLjWAPdF9m6GnMCJRNiwcRp0lxd8voWfvqFind Ryan on the socials:https://www.instagram.com/hollywoodpsychic/

To everyone out there decrying self-indulgence, let it be set straight for the record that if you had your own long-running podcast, you'd want to have your music-loving friends on the show as often as possible too. We had an absolute blast hanging with the OG All Time Top Ten Pals O The Pod aka The ATTT All-Stars.

Did things get heated in Point/Counterpoint 1984 VS 1991 In Music Part 2 between the warring factions charged with defending the musical honor of the years 1984 and 1991? Yes, but it's all in good fun of course. 2 monumental years in music are dissected and promoted as the glory years they were. Shannon Hurley and Mike Bisch make the case for 1984, while Ben gets by with a little help from Dustin Prince to bask in the 1991-ness of it all. Which is better? Let us make our case and you decide.If you missed Part 1, get going on that here:https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/alltimetopten/episodes/2023-06-19T04_00_00-07_00Look for Shannon's new single "Empty World" at a streaming place near you soon!

It seems unfathomable that 1984 and 1991 were only seven years apart, especially when you look at the monumental shifts that had happened to world culture during that time. Nowhere is this more apparent than when you look at the music of 1984 vs the music of 1991. Did we evolve or devolve? Why does the music of 1984 sound more futuristic than in 1991? One thing is for certain, both '84 and '91 were among the greatest years for music ever, with massive chart topping smash hit albums and larger than life bands & artists in their prime. ATTT is pumped to get into the fray of friendly debate over which of these years stands out for great music, and longtime Pals O The Pod Shannon Hurley, Dustin Prince and our special guest Mike Bisch, who flew in all the way from Detroit to join us in this healthy but competitive discussion.
