The greatest songs ever. The podcast.
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.
Listen as Tim and Chris talk about the songs of 1983 to ’86.
We’re in between the 1982 and ’83 episodes, so why not take a moment to look back at EVERYTHING?
Join Tim, Chris, and our special guest, Billboard Deputy Editor Andrew Unterberger (Twitter: @AUgetoffmygold) as they discuss the full Hall of Songs to this point.
We ask: Is this experiment of determining the greatest songs of all-time worthy? What are the biggest surprise Hall of Songs members? What songs, artists, and genres are being snubbed? It’s a fun look at the whole picture before we dive back into nominees.
Selecting songs for Hall of Songs nomination is a hard job. Sometimes, while toiling over all the options, you decide that certain tunes that we now consider problematic still merit inclusion. At least that’s what one co-host of Hall of Songs would argue.
Join Tim and Chris as they put four more songs from 1979 to ’82 onto the ballot. Luckily, they bring in a (sort-of) independent ombudsman to sort through the issues with them.
In this episode, Tim and Chris talk about the four new nominees, then go deeper into ’79-’82 with selections by artists like Split Enz and, naturally, the Grateful Dead.
