BT4 ahead of Jimi Hendrix? Not sure about that ranking, but other than that, a great bunch of songs. Glad to see all the new entries this year! It’s been fun to listen to the 2007 Coverville countdown.
Every time I hear Straight out of Compton in that style I have to pull over from laughing so hard. Its well done but I can’t get the visual out of my head of some Debbie Boone lookalike trying to pull that off.
Any way, great list top to bottom IMHO. Loads of new with enough familiar to make those of us resistant to change feel comfortable.
