The greatest songs ever. The podcast.
We’re here. The last Hall of Songs.
Join Tim and Chris as they discuss the experiment of determining the greatest songs of all-time. They dig up some statistics, run through the entire list of the Hall of Songs, and discuss their favorite podcast memories.
To those who listened, voted and gave us a chance … thank you.
Hall of Songs has chronicled the history of popular Western music since 1951, and after nearly three years, has arrived at 2010. It’s a year of “indie” breakthroughs from artists such as Beach House and the Black Keys, and of mainstream smashes from those such as Katy Perry and Rihanna.
Settle in and listen as we give you our top-12 songs of the year. Note: No voting until the next Veterans’ Committee episode, which we hope to release before 2024.
Welcome to 2009. We’re nearing the end of the main Hall of Songs canon, but don’t fret, because here we have 12 songs that we think are potential Greatest of All Time nominees.
It’s a year when indie takes center stage thanks to artists like Animal Collective, Dirty Projectors, Japandroids, Drake, and Grizzly Bear, among many others. Listen to find out which indie songs made our top-12, and which big pop stars found themselves back in the Hall of Songs conversation.

Some songs get lost and fall into the cracks. That’s what the Veterans Committee is for. Join Tim and Chris as dig back into the years of 1983 to ’86 and nominate four more songs for the Hall of Songs.
Dance music? Yes. Americana music? Sure. An appearance by our (sort-of) independent ombudsman? Absolutely.
