It's all about the songs, people! No, we can't claim to have heard all of the songs released in 2023, as there was only about a million of them - literally. What we have for you are the standout tracks that crossed our radar this year, songs that we never managed to get sick of. Giovanny Blanco, Shannon Hurley and David Daskal add some mirth to our chat about the best songs of the year., and when this playlist is complete, you won't need another. Part 2 features picks 15-11 in our supersized episode TOP TWENTY SONGS OF 2023. Join us for another look at the musical year that was.

Lord knows how we make it through another year. Actually ATTT knows how - MUSIC! Of the few bright spots in the year 2023, music was top of mind. This was the year of global superstars and young upstarts, a year of genre bending and legends securing their immortal mark in history. Contrary to the beliefs of those who don't listen, music is always evolving and these year-end episodes are a great way for us to take a good look around to see that there's still consciousness-altering, booty-shaking, masses-inspiring music being made all over the world. Shannon Hurley and David Daskal are back for this program's annual super-sized bonanza, and this year we're joined by our good friend Giovanny Blanco to count down the best songs of 2023. Part 1 features picks 20-16!

Was the year 2000 actually the pinnacle of western civilization? Can we only look back in awe and wonder at how few problems we had then? Best to not think about it. Instead, listen to Top Ten Songs From The Year 2000 Part 2. Sir Ryan Blake is on hand to help wrap things up in style with picks 5-1. Bonus shout out to the great Conan O'Brien who inspired us to take a look into the future and remember how much fun we had.

Ah, the 'before times', back before international terrorism and plagues of the body and mind. A simpler time. In the year 2000 we partied, for the most part, and our music reflected that. Inspired by an ages-old bit from the Conan O'Brien show, we've decided to embark on a trip - to the future! In the year 2000 there were tons of great songs released to the world, and the Old Boy Himself Ryan Blake made his triumphant return to GoodList Studios to take a listen to some of the best. Top Ten Songs Of The Year 2000 Part 1 features picks 10-6, and a good solid chat with our buddy Ryblake.

We have good news and bad news. The good news is this week's playlist is full of songs that everybody loves. The bad news is we don't. Joe and Amy help wrap things up in this hilarious episode that has bad things to say about songs you all love. Please forgive us.

At ATTT HQ it's a long-standing tradition. Once a year just for fun we like to turn our spotlight on the miserable, the subpar, the poor, the lame, the wrong and the downright terrible side of music. Usually these "Rage-Inducing" playlists are hard to listen to. Not so this time around! Even though yes we're playing music we despise, it's music that almost everybody else loves! Fan and host favorite Joe Lavelle is ready to get his rage on for the first time, and we are joined by our old pal Amy Wohlitz, who may be only known to long-long-long time listeners (her last show was in 2014), or perhaps she's known to fellow perusers of the archives. Either way we're so happy to have Joe and Amy join us for TOP TEN RAGE-INDUCING SONGS WE HATE THAT EVERYBODY ELSE LOVES! Picks 10-6 are highlighted here in Part 1.

The archives at Mixcloud are always there for you, with classic Joe Lavelle and Amy Wohlitz episodes and more:
