KEXP Listeners' Favorite Songs of All Time

The all-time countdown (March 9, 2019) from KEXP in Seattle, WA ranks 627 songs, with “Relax” by Frankie Goes to Hollywood at number one. The list features 342 different artists; Radiohead has the most entries with twelve songs. Aired March 9-15, 2019 (2019 Spring Fundraising Drive), as voted by KEXP listeners. Positions 83, 190, and 202 show a placeholder "Artist / Song" header row on the source page instead of real entries and are omitted here (3 of 631 positions missing). Ranks 263 and 309 both list "Vampire Weekend - A-Punk" exactly as printed on the source page. A handful of obvious spelling typos in artist/title were corrected against the source's own surrounding text (e.g. "LCD Soundystem" to "LCD Soundsystem", "Iron Maden" to "Iron Maiden", "Unfinished Symphony" to "Unfinished Sympathy", "Massive Atttack" to "Massive Attack").

Aired March 9-15, 2019 (2019 Spring Fundraising Drive), as voted by KEXP listeners. Positions 83, 190, and 202 show a placeholder "Artist / Song" header row on the source page instead of real entries and are omitted here (3 of 631 positions missing). Ranks 263 and 309 both list "Vampire Weekend - A-Punk" exactly as printed on the source page. A handful of obvious spelling typos in artist/title were corrected against the source's own surrounding text (e.g. "LCD Soundystem" to "LCD Soundsystem", "Iron Maden" to "Iron Maiden", "Unfinished Symphony" to "Unfinished Sympathy", "Massive Atttack" to "Massive Attack").

About this countdown

Positions are shown exactly as the station ranked them; artist and song names have been standardized so that every entry links to that song’s complete chart history across all stations. It counts toward the Indie & Adult Alternative rankings.
