The countdown keeps going all the way down from #666 to the #1 song of alltime (the full list is at the top of the page, getting more volumimous every day). Today’s song is #652:
Marty Willson-Piper – Forget the Radio
One of the two lead guitarists in legendary Australian art-rockers the Church, Marty Willson-Piper is perhaps the greatest twelve-string player of our time. He’s also a first-rate songwriter, if not a particularly prolific one. This one from his 2000 cd Hanging Out in Heaven does double duty as both celebration of the joys and pleasures of vinyl, and as a swipe at commercial radio. It made a good theme song then for the millions who’d tuned out in disgust, and still has resonance for the millions more who’ve found a home in the world of internet, college and pirate broadcasts
