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.
Well, this may very well be the end. After more than 50 elections, going through nearly 60 years of music, Hall of Songs has reached — possibly — its final election.
Songs by artists such as Pink, Adele, Robyn, Kanye West and more are up for Hall of Songs induction. What will make it? What won’t? And what will get no votes at all?
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.
As we head toward the end of Hall of Songs’ voting timeline, we see if big names like Lady Gaga, Adele, Jay-Z, Miley Cyrus and Drake have what it takes to put a song into the pantheon. Plus, we induct a new member into our 0-Votes Club (thanks, listeners).
More than 120 songs are now part of the Hall, so listen now to find out the results of our latest election.
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.

It’s a huge ballot this time out, with 28 songs vying to be part of the pantheon of music, the Hall of Songs. Did we get any inductees? Did the total get past 120?

We’re back! Hall of Songs returns after another considerable break with our newest election results show. Several songs from the mid-2000s vied for the opportunity to reach our pantheon of songs, now at 119. Did we get to 120?
