To paraphrase Anthony Keidis, we are tickled pink when we listen to music that makes us think. A lot of thought went into the making of the songs on this week's playlist. A lot of clever thought. ATTT's own David Daskal is back to help us count down the first of many volumes of these lyrical gems. The songs on the first volume of our Top Ten Lyrically Clever Songs series pass all the tests. Witty? Check. Thought-provoking? You know it. Tiny works of genius? Absolutely.

We're not sure if you've heard but there's an election happening. A lot is on the line and we here at ATTT are throwing our lot behind our man Joe Biden. Something Joe is best known for is his ability to express empathy. Joe knows from loss and has a big heart. In this time of deep division and crisis, we gotta believe that Joe Biden is the man for this time of pain. In that hopeful spirit ATTT welcomes back one of our beloved regulars, empath-in-chief Gabe Scalone, who also knows a lot about this subject. Gabe helps us count down our favorite songs about the one thing this world can't get enough of.

Happy Halloween from your impish ghouls and your ghoulish imps at All Time Top Ten. The Oompa Loompas here at ATTT HQ have been toiling day and night to bring you the very best in devilish music and help get you in the spirit of the season. This Halloween they had a big help as always from our resident Shadmock Matt Dinan. Last year we tackled songs about our favorite fictional monsters. This time around we're gonna get real, and play our favorite tunes that document real life monsters that currently do or did live among us. Please beware, the subjects of this week's songs did some pretty horrific stuff and you're gonna hear all about it. This ain't for the squeamish!

Batten down the hatches and fire up the Marshall stacks! ATTT is closing out our Songs Of Hope series in style with a playlist that will blow any mind that dares to get near it. First time guest and fellow metalhead Jake Bright joins the pod to help us mine more songs of hope from a seemingly unlikely source - heavy fucking metal. Non-metalheads may not realize it, but true fans of the genre and the bands that live by the metal ethos will tell you a big driving force behind the scene is a sense of community. It's all for one and one for all and the songs on this week's playlist prove that you can be uplifted by metal just as easily as gospel. Throw up your devil horns and mosh with us.

The Old Boy Himself Ryan Blake is back on the pod to talk about one of our favorite subjects - the music of the 90's. Like your humble host, Ryblake came of age in the 90's. In the 90's we formed our taste, honed our sense of what was cool, became musicians and took in the insane variety of great music that came out during that most glorious of decades. We both have such fond memories of that time that we thought it would be appropriate to add another episode to ATTT's award-aspiring Songs Of Hope series. Let's get nostalgic for the past but also hopeful about the future, people!

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.
