We firmly believe that David Bowie will be one of a select few artists from modern pop music that scholars and fans alike will be enjoying 100 years from now. Not only was he a prolific pioneer, he also, on dozens of occasions, took the music genre of his choosing to unimaginable heights by simply giving it the Bowie treatment. Every record he released was an event and a singular achievement, and he did it for nearly 50 years. The honorable Gabe Scalone returns to help us wrap up our look at the great albums that Bowie gave us, for which we are forever grateful. Top Ten David Bowie Albums Part 2 breaks down the best of the best with picks 5-1.

As far as album artists that dominated the album era, the late great David Bowie is among the all-timers. From 1969 to 1980 he put out 13 albums, all of which had the critics blown away and audiences and the music listening public clamoring for more. And Bowie gave them more, continuing to put out mind-bending material all the way until his untimely death in 2016. Gabe Scalone is an ATTT favorite for many reasons, among them he tends to nerd out to the extreme, just like the best of us. Ben and Gabe both listened to David Bowie's entire catalog in preparation for TOP TEN DAVID BOWIE ALBUMS and we think we've put together a damn fine playlist highlighting songs from David's many masterpieces. Picks 10-6 are featured here in Part 1.

Dear people with ears and hearts, having your very own list of songs that you love, even though it's embarrassing to admit, is a beautiful thing!

We all know the basic premise of a guilty pleasure song. Some may deride the concept of hiding your affection for a particular tune from your hipster friends out of embarrassment or the desire to appear not uncool. It's a natural thing. It's also natural to get moved by a song that is considered by most to be silly or lame. Well hide your guilt no more! ATTT is here to help, with the aid of our good friend and excellent musician Bryan Meyers, who is on hand to present another volume of songs that we just can't help but love, regardless of how we feel outwardly. There's no shame in any of it! Part 1 features picks 10-6, folks.

For a little more than 4 years, the All Time Top Ten Patreon Club put out monthly bonus episodes to the delight of dozens of people! As we say thanks, we salute the fine upstanding members of the ATTT Patreon Club. To honor those who believed in the show enough to put their money where their mouth was and contributed anywhere from $2 to $10 a month, we're giving the Club an official send-off by giving our astute $10 tier members the last say in a bunch of songs that have been played 4 times previously on the show, and we give those songs the retirement they deserve. Once you've been played 5 times on the show, you're given the gold jacket and golf club membership you richly deserve, never to appear on All Time Top Ten again. Anyway help us say goodbye to some great songs and give those who truly believed in the show their due.

Check out this incredible playlist on Spotify. As about as good as it gets.

All hail Mama Mo! We are so delighted to welcome the effervescent Maureen Davis into the ATTT fold, as she nailed all of the things on our list. Fun? Check, Funny? Check. Great taste in music? Oh yeah. Maureen helps us bring it all home in Part 2 of our sleepy playlist of our favorite "Sleep" songs. Top Ten "Sleep" Songs is the latest in our patented "Songs That Have A Particular Word In Their Title" series, and our word this time around is "Sleep". We chose this particular word as a sneaky way to help us promote Maureen's excellent and GRAMMY-Nominee-In-Waiting children's music album Sleepyland Band Songs For Bedtime by her studio creation, the Sleepyland Band. It truly was a great hang and a super fun playlist. Thanks, Mo!

"Sleep" "Sleeps" "Slept" "Sleepy" "Sleepless" and "Sleeping" are words that somehow find their way into the titles of some of our favorite songs. To celebrate this fact, and to help our good friend Maureen Davis do some mighty plugging, we here at ATTT HQ feel it's our civic duty to count down the 10 best  songs with "Sleep" in the title. As far as the plugging goes, we're incredibly grateful to have snared the illustrious Maureen Davis to the pod so we can play some great music while helping promote her awesome kids album and soon to be children's book Sleepyland Band Songs For Bedtime by her studio creation, the Sleepyland Band. Don't sleep on this amazing playlist, with picks 10-6 revealed in Part 1.

We could talk until we're blue in the face about what a bridge is and what the greatest bridges are, and we actually did just that. The fabulous Maurice Bursztynski returns for a knock down drag out discussion about songs and song bridges. We also took little breaks in the middle of arguing to listen to some examples of sublime pop song craft in TOP TEN GREAT BRIDGES Part 2. It's unclear if we got to the bottom of it, but no matter, we had a blast hanging with Maurice and revealing picks 5-1.
