Forget "Top 40" or the "best songs of the 90s, 80s..." or the "Best Songs of the Past 100 Years" (a la the "NPR 100").

How 'bout let's try the "best" of the past 1000 years: 1000 Years of Popular Music.

I felt compelled to plug this little gem after seeing RT last evening. He did an absolutely kick-ass job on So Ben Mi Ca Bon Tempo. His more detailed notes and opinions on the songs are here. I do hope that he'll take OTYOPM on the road.

Great show (again). And all those posts where I say there are no gods? I lied.
