    The Top-12 Songs of 2004! Yeah! OK!

    The Top-12 Songs of 2004! Yeah! OK!

    Who had the biggest 2004? Was it Lil Jon, the world's greatest hype man? Or was it Usher, the smoothest male R&B performer in decades? Maybe it was David Ortiz of the Boston Red Sox. Or some dude from Westchester County, New York, who combined the Beatles and Jay-Z.

    In this episode of Hall of Songs, Tim and Chris go deep into this critical year of music history. They talk about all of these things, and they reminisce about a slightly more innocent time in history. ... Slightly.

    After listening, head to hallofsongs.com to vote for the songs that you think belong in our exclusive Hall of Songs!

Get that bonus ep

I just listened to the little Dead episode after 1957 nominees and want to add to your review number to push toward whatever thing we're trying to make Tim listen to.

So much fun!

I’m a late comer to this pod, but I can’t get enough. I’m having so much fun running through the history of music since 1951!

Love this podcast

I recently discovered this and have been binging. Only up to 1960, and depressed that the time for me to vote for my musical eras has pretty much already passed!

But still loving the backstories, and picking what songs I would have voted for if I had been following from the beginning.

Every episode is a great overview of a single year in pop music history.
