10 SONGS: 200 Songs!



My 10 Songs series made its debut here on January 14th of this year, and it's been a Boppin' (Like The Hip Folks Do) fixture ever since. Based on a suggestion from Don Valentine of I Don't Hear A Single, 10 Songs has been a weekly opportunity for me to cherry-pick 10 songs I feel like writing about, almost always songs selected from that week's This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio playlist. It usually runs on Tuesday, occasionally runs on Wednesday when scheduling demands it, and last week it ran on Tuesday and Wednesday to accommodate my wish to do both a Little Richard memorial 10 Songs and a regular 10 Songs.



So yesterday's post was 10 Songs # 21. While there have been a total of 210 song entries so far, I used some of those songs more than once. With this week's post, 10 Songs has now featured 200 different tracks. Here's a list of all of them, organized alphabetically by artist:

The Beatles (of course!) have the most individual songs listed, while Marykate O'Neil's "I'm Ready For My Luck To Turn Around" has scored more entries than any other individual track. "For Pete's Sake" is (I think) the only song represented in two different versions, the original by The Monkees and the recent cover by The Grip Weeds.

I would offer you some sort of coming-attractions clue about what to expect in future weekly editions of 10 Songs, but I won't know any of that until I write them. The first step in the process of selecting next week's 10 begins this afternoon, when Dana and I put together this week's This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio playlist. As always: stay tuned.
