I don't mean to boast but this conversation with the enigmatic Morty Coyle about our favorite Songs About Bragging was the most fun anyone's ever had in the history of everything. Longtime fans of the pod will recognize Morty as one the voices of a generation. The Greatest Generation? No that would not be humble. This week we take a look at the wide array of musical styles one can employ when cooking up a song that lets the world know that not only do you have soul, you're super bad. Jump back, kiss yourself and listen. Morty's got some pretty cool irons in the fire these days, including brand new music and the upcoming 4th studio album from the power pop combo All Day Sucker (featuring Pals O The Pod Jordan Summers and Dan Rothchild). Check out their stuff here:http://www.alldaysucker.netMorty also sings on occasion with his daughter Beatrix in the long-running series Bea & Daddy Car Tunes. Check out hundreds of their videos on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/beaanddaddycartunes/The best birthday present you could give to the show would be to join the Patreon Thing.

Mark is an interesting cat and his unique brain and knowledge of great music make him the perfect guest for this sprawling, global-elite-power shattering episode. Things got so out of hand that we had to split this episode into 2 parts because the alternative would be to cut out some of the conversation and that simply wasn't going to happen. We had a blast counting down our favorite music conspiracy theories, each with it's own degree of intrigue, hilarity, and sometimes darkness.

On occasion we like to don our historian hats on this here podcast. The timeline of great music is of major importance to us music nerds, and charting the history of rock, pop, soul, jazz, and everything else music is one of our favorite go-to subjects. In that spirit, the great Rick Torres was kind enough to grace us with his boisterous presence for a podcast about spans. Five-year spans to be exact. What were the most consequential, the most revolutionary, and the best five-year spans in music? We have opinions, and the musical receipts to back up our top ten list. Stream this colossal playlist on Apple Music:https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/episode-513-top-ten-five-year-spans-in-music/pl.u-9N9LXD4I1eX69La?ls&fbclid=IwAR1U4FfbENLB91OWVkvb7xq9mgD5Z_TWfRzcRK-1Or42Zt0Rudv0wezBAloGet thee to https://alltimetoptenpod.com for links to Patreon, the archives and a ton more!Rick's got music in the hopper and more on the way, with Dirtycakes: https://www.instagram.com/dirtycakesband/and Supreme Beings Of Leisure:https://www.instagram.com/supremebeingsofleisure/

The concept is simple enough. From the years 1963-1970, The Beatles released their incredible discography, a body of work unmatched in scope of influence, creativity, quality AND quantity that set them apart from just about everyone in the music world. However, during this same period of time, other bands and artists were right there with the Fab Four in terms of legendary status, cultural impact and most importantly creation of incredible music. Call them contemporaries, peers, rivals, or just fellow superstars, these artists could AND DID go toe to toe with the lads from Liverpool, and in many cases The Beatles themselves acknowledged their greatness and influence. Speaking of legends - songwriter, musician and producer-extraordinaire Chris Price is back on ATTT after a long time away. Chris helps us count down the best of those who shared space with the Beatles in the cultural stratosphere in Top Ten Bands And Artists That Could Hang With The Beatles In Their Heyday.Stream this mind-blowing playlist on Apple Music:https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/episode-512-top-ten-bands-artists-that-could-hang-with/pl.u-mJy8gPrsNqyeXWD?ls&fbclid=IwAR3TSA08xVw2AqGy2RuTAuUytZvKhbFNkHlbGl2B2iGy1oPQG46vlzfsVmoGet into the Patreon Thing and more at our website:https://alltimetoptenpod.comChris Price has always got something going on musically, so keep up with him at his website:https://whoischrisprice.comHis band Bebopalula is also always working on stuff too:https://www.bebopalula.net

There are things in life that are just common knowledge. The Pope does his thing in the woods, 2+2=4, band names are impossibly hard and all the good ones have been taken. Since 2000, there have been approximately 5 million new bands formed. Common knowledge tells us that 99% of their names are crap. Thankfully ATTT has some friends who know a thing or two about what constitutes a great band name. DJ Hostettler and Dixie Jacobs of the band Body Futures join ATTT to count down the best of what's left, with an awesome playlist featuring bands that have emerged in the last 20 years that have this band name thing figured out. Top Ten Greatest Band Names Of The 21st Century was a riot!

To sort through the dozens upon dozens of amazing albums released by Prince is a labor of love. In his lifetime, Prince released 42 studio albums, with probably just as many in the vaults waiting to be discovered by the world. In the dictionary, the word "prolific" should have a picture of his unpronounceable symbol next to it. You could also place that iconic symbol next to the words "genius" and "music". In his all-too-short time on earth, Prince Rogers Nelson gave us everything he had and more, and if you haven't done a Prince albums deep dive yet, you might be convinced to after hearing this delightful conversation with a new friend of ours, writer, guitarist and actor Oscar Jordan. Oscar has been a Prince fan since the beginning, as many of us have. He joins ATTT for a reverent but also irreverent chat about the man from Minneapolis and all of his most enduring work. Top Ten Prince Albums is just a primer for that deep dive that everyone should do. There's a whole universe of Prince music out there so go enjoy it!Oscar Jordan is always working on something, be it in acting, music or writing.
