Welcome to the Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame, the place where all of the greatest artists in rock, pop & soul are enshrined for all of history. Except for the ones they don't like. For some bands and artists, no matter how many records they sell, no matter how many decades they perform at sold out arenas around the world, no matter how many countless bands and musicians they influence, these "unworthies" will be forever snubbed by the holier-than-thou powers that be that run the "rock" hall. Your band can even create an entire genre of music, and if they don't understand you, or respect you, you ain't getting in. We believe in a meritocracy around here, and our pal Nick Baker is back to help us set the record straight, and tell the blue noses where to stick it. Oh and we highlight 21 amazing bands and artists that are all more than worthy. Let 'em in!

Every month we here at ATTT HQ want to help supplement your podcast diet with a blast from the past, and in honor of Top Ten Songs By The Who Volume 2 coming out later this month, we thought we'd whet your appetite by serving up the cream of the crop from Pete, Roger, John and Keith. The great Chris Price regales with stories of touring with The Who and offers his unique take on some of their best tunes. What the world needs now is more MAXIMUMROCKANDROLL!

Except for possibly a certain Fab Four, there has never been a rock band comprised of four more completely unique individuals. In the case of The Who, here we have four individuals who all think they're playing the lead instrument. This dynamic has resulted in some of the most visceral and vital music ever made, with a live show that tops the recordings, if that was even possible. This is music by mods, music by gods and music by and for anyone who's ever felt like an outcast. No wonder The Who were the precursors to punk rock. Nobody ever made music that was so expansive sonically yet so personal and intimate lyrically. Anyway, we could go on, but we'd rather hear some amazing music. Joining the podcast is Chris Price, singer, songwriter, producer, multi-multi-multi-instrumentalist and someone who, as you'll find out, knows this band well. Enjoy the best of The freaking Who!

Happy Birthday to Sir George Harrison, who long ago said something we can all relate to - "it's been a long cold lonely winter". And it has. And for some of us, it's not over and won't be over when spring comes. Depression is a serious disease with no known cure, but there are several treatments that can ease the pain. Believe it or not we recommend music. All Time Top Ten is taking the brave stand right this very moment to advocate for music therapy for treating the blues, being down in the dumps, being bummed out, or in many cases, suffering from clinical depression, which we take seriously around here. To help us out is one who knows this subject inside and out, and has many songs in her own catalog that tackle depression and anxiety head on. ATTT welcomes back the lovely and talented singer-songwriter Marina V. Ben and Marina get into 20 of the best tracks that do more than just pick you up, they lift you up.

You can find out all things Marina V, including her 2-Song-A-Month Club, at

We value tradition on this here podcast. That's why back in February of 2012, we got together with Sir Ryan Blake to talk love songs. These particular love songs had 2 endearing qualities to them: they were sincere and dammit, they were not cheesy in the slightest. In what has become ATTT's oldest tradition, we have done this every Valentine's Day since. 7 volumes later, The Old Boy Himself, also known as Ryblake, has joined us for our annual V-Day Spectacular. It should come to no surprise that we had no problem finding 21 more incredible love songs to play while you woo your special someone. Thank us later.

Ryan's band Il Destro has retained their title Orange County's #1 Dad Rock Band Of All Time. If you don't believe it, check them out on Instagram:

We here at ATTT offer no explanation or excuse for waiting this long to do a Motown episode, but to make up for it we vow to do one a year going forward. Considering Motown Records' hefty catalogue, we could be at this a while. Anyway, we are very proud to give some love to Berry Gordy, along with a murderer's row of insanely talented songwriters, producers, arrangers, musicians and iconic pop stars. For a long time, Motown ruled the world, and people everywhere loved Marvin Gaye, The Supremes, The Temptations, Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, Stevie Wonder, The Four Tops, Martha Reeves & The Vandellas, and more. It didn't matter what color your skin was, you loved that music made in that tiny house in Detroit. We don't know how they pulled it off, but we're eternally grateful. GoodList Studios was honored to host 2 of the most musically gifted thieves and rascals in all of Los Angeles. Fuzzbee Morse and Chris Price help count down the first of many volumes of mind blowing tunes from the Motor City!

We know what you're thinking. 2018 is over. Just let it go, dude. Quit living in the past, man! First of all don't tell us what to do. Secondly, before we can move on, David, Shannon and Linda have to help us put a definitive cap on the year that was by finishing our lists of the best songs of the year by counting down our #'s 5-1 in part 2 of ATTT's year-end spectacular. THEN we can look ahead. Ok? Ok.

Thanks to all who listened to Part 1. If you missed it and want to hear what our #'s 10-6 were, listen here:

2018 was a stressful year, to put it mildly. And while there are several options available to people that want to relieve their tension, we suggest getting super into art, nature, human interaction of the not-online variety, and music. Lots and lots of music. Thankfully 2018 provided us with a plethora of great recordings, songs, singers, producers and musicians to fill our days and nights with life-fulfilling (and life-saving) music. It's become a tradition around here on All Time Top Ten to invite the ridiculous David Daskal, along with the effervescent Shannon Hurley and the charming and endearing Linda Trujillo to help us count down the best songs of the year. The gang of four brings four top ten lists, which is why we're breaking it up into 2 parts. Here's our 10-6 picks. Hope we pick some of your favorites, or introduce you to something you'll love.

Shannon Hurley has a new single out, for fans of Yazoo-esque synth pop. It's called "Lost My Mind" Listen here:

We'll be back with part 2 in 2 weeks!

Thanks so much for being patient with us. We feel like we left you hanging in the middle of a great conversation about the greatest Yids to ever don a guitar, or piano or who sang their guts out to a packed house in true rock n roll form. The word "rock n roll" is used for decorative purposes here, as we run the gamut of musical stylings. Basically it's the greatest Jews in music, past and present. Behold All Time Top Ten's Season 7 finale, with DJ Morty Coyle and Etan G The Jewish Rapper, co-hosts of the mighty YidNation podcast counting down the rest of their lists, and putting to bed once in for all, the idea that Rush is not the greatest band of all time. L'Chaim! To Music!

Happy Hannukah from your old pals at All Time Top Ten! To help celebrate the Festival Of Lights, we offer the only contribution we know anything about - music. It's no secret that the Jewish people have done well in the music business, behind the scenes and on the stage. DJ Morty Coyle and Etan G The Jewish Rapper of the world famous YidNation Podcast are more than equipped to drop some serious knowledge and play some amazing music from many of the business' most beloved performers and artists. Since we couldn't reign Morty in, or try to edit him down to size, this has become a super-sized podcast, and thus had to be made into a 2-parter. Enjoy part one, where you learn just how badass some of our Hebrew brethren can be.

YidNation is a Jewish, Jewesque & Jew-Adjacent Podcast about a couple of schmucks trying make sense of this meshuggah world. Find out more here:
