Lord help us, we're just getting pummeled by despair week after week here in bad ol' 2020. Those of us in the camp we call "people who care", or "people who give a shit" are just trying to keep our heads above water these days and like the great Freddie Mercury advised, we're keeping ourselves alive. A big help is something we call rock n roll, and for this week, we're all about the greatest Classic Rock Songs Of Hope, those hard rockin' gems that keep our spirits up, lyrically and musically. Like 'em or totally love 'em, the newly christened (like 10 seconds ago) Wolffing Brothers are back on the pod to help us keep this hope thing going. Justin and Chris bring their best to a really fun and nostalgic top ten list from those golden years of long hair, bell bottoms and crunchy guitars. Get ready to hopefully rock with us.

Chris & Justin's avant garde/dork rock band Coleflatch is back with a new album. Find out more at their Reverbnation page:

Anyone who knows anything about punk rock should not be surprised that there are a ridiculous amount of truly uplifting, life-affirming, positive punk songs. Punk scenes are all about unity and brother/sisterhood. Some of the most tightly knit groups of friends are those who bond over music that is all about no compromises and in-your-face honesty. Therefore, Punk Rock Songs Of Hope is a topic that is a no-brainer, especially for this day & age. We should all be filled with righteous anger at the current state of the world, and we, like all good-hearted people, want to throw our fists in the air and say Oi Oi Oi! to all the purveyors of BS out there hell-bent on division, when what we really need is Unity! Enter fellow punker and podcaster Vanessa Narad Axelsen, also known as Noodle, to help us count down the best punk songs that lift our spirits.

The Summer Of Sin was a thing, and now it is mercifully over. The Oompa Loompas running the show here at ATTT HQ have been getting restless, and are ready for a break from all the negativity we've seen in the world and especially here in these United States. The election is less than 2 months away and we're going to steer this ship in a new direction - the direction of positivity, good vibes, and especially HOPE. Longtime fans of the show know All Time Top Ten has been all about hope for the past 4 years, as we've presented entries in our #1000SongsOfHope series on the social medias. This episode and subsequent ones are a companion piece of sorts to that series, as we're going around the musical world for the best Songs Of Hope we can find. Longtime Pal O' The Pod Dustin Prince is back on to do another one of his patented covers episodes, but this time with a hopeful twist. We HOPE you enjoy Top Ten Cover Songs Of Hope.

If there was ever a time to declare yourself over this summer, it would be now. The actual summer here in these United States was one of the all time disasters. For proof just look around. Over here in the ATTT-verse, we’ve been having a ball, reveling in songs about sins, the seven deadly sins to be exact. But alas, all good things must end, and so goes the Summer Of Sin. Guitar hero and all-around mensch supreme Geoff Pearlman is back to help us close things out with a pretty damn underrated deadly sin. The sin of envy has caused untold damage to our world and misery to many of our friends and family that we hold so dear. Envy (not jealousy, which is something else entirely) is the subject of the amazing songs that adorn this mighty playlist. Check it out and wallow in the muck one last time before we all move on to greener pastures.

All Time Top Ten's Summer Of Sin series rolls on with a slippery eel of a topic. it's easy to look at the word 'Pride' and have 90% of your thoughts about the word be positive. However, the negative side of pride can cause humans to do some incredibly destructive things. The side of pride that can hurt you, or worse, is what we're interested in for this particular podcast, and ATTT is delighted to be joined by one of the greatest Rock N Roll Power Couples in the greater Los Angeles area. Dan Rothchild and Sky Nicholas know a thing or two about swallowing one's pride, not having any pride, being too proud to beg, and all of the myriad ways that pride can mess with you and cause great harm. As Marcelus Wallace once said, "Fuck pride. You fight through that shit. It only hurts. It never helps". Don't be too proud to listen to Top Ten Songs About Pride.

Going through the seven deadly sins has taught us a few things - greed is the most destructive sin, lust is the most dangerous, and gluttony is arguably the most fun. To quote Randy Newman, here in America, you get food to eat. Lots of it. More than you could ever want. It's sad to say that in addition to being the most fun of the sins, gluttony is probably the most American. ATTT is excited to have a chat about maximum consumption with our friend Alex, who in addition to being a wonderful musician, is also a bonafide gourmet chef. Alex knows from food, and we have a great conversation about the different kinds of gluttony. In addition, we fill your plates with big steaming helpings of great tuneage, and count down our favorite songs about feeding your face in the most sinful way. You might regret it later, but for now belly up to our latest pod and get all you can eat.

We've been at this for a month now, and so far ATTT's Summer Of Sin series has discussed some pretty intense and dangerous sins. However, nothing can prepare you for the sheer destruction that comes with the sin of greed. Greed has caused untold amounts of pain throughout the history of the world and some would say it's the root of all evil. Gordon Gecko says "greed is good", we say "music is good", and All Time Top Ten is delighted to welcome musician/music savant Fernando Perdomo and first-time guest/righteous babe Cyndi Trissel to the show to count down our ten favorite Songs About Greed. You can sell your mother and go buy another. All bets are off when that mean, mean green is involved.

Of all the seven deadly sins, lust may be the most fun, or the most dangerous, depending on how well you can control yourself. The tunes featured in Top Ten Songs About Lust are not merely songs about sex, or songs about love. To quote the immortal Joan Jett, "if you think it's luv, then you're thinking wrong". To lust is to want, and ATTT wants to introduce our listeners to one of our favorite people, the freewheeling Jenny Lynne. When Jenny is not acting, modeling, swallowing swords, or having knives thrown at her, she's rocking out to her favorite songs about the sin of lust, and we're more than delighted to have her aboard the All Time Top Ten family and to introduce the 3rd of 7 in our series on songs about the seven deadly sins. Without a doubt, the Summer Of Sin just got a little naughtier.

I could write something here about how Top Ten Songs About Sloth is part 2 of our 7-part series The Summer Of Sin, dissecting the 7 Deadly Sins, one playlist at a time. I could also tell you that long time show favorite Joe Lavelle is on to help us count down our favorite songs about being lazy, and exactly what kind of a sin sloth really is. I could do all that but I don't feel like it.

Everything is terrible, this is a fact. Our options for dealing with this fact are to pretend everything is hunky dory, fall into despair and forget about the healing power of art, or the much sexier and righteous option - to embrace it and find humor and meaning in art wherever we can, to keep us sane in an insane world. Of course our favorite medium is, as Beethoven once said "the only medium that matters, bitch" (paraphrasing) - music. So let's take a musical look at the darker side of living for the rest of this summer, adopt a theme based on the 7 deadly sins, and let the Summer Of Sin begin. Each week for the next 7 weeks, we're reveling in sin, finding truth where it lays. To kick things off we call upon our resident demon-in-chief, longtime beloved regular Matt Dinan to break down the most violent of the 7 deadly sins, wrath. Whether its a woman scorned or the literal wrath of God, this particular sin packs a punch and is not for the squeamish. Enjoy.
