332. Elenor Rigby (live) by The Crusaders

Nominated by Michael Benson of 75% Folk.

333. Check the Technique by Gangstarr

Year Released: 1990
Released On: Step In The Arena
Nominated by Fluccs Capacitor of Time Moves Slow who says: To me this is the apex of the Golden age of Hip Hop from 86-96 this track comprised of dope samples, cuts, and a monotone GURU rhyming about how his lyrical ability was ahead of its time…”Check the Technique and see if you can follow it”.

334. Up On Cripple Creek by The Band

Year Released: 1969
Released On: The Band
Nominated by DJ MTSPEN of Storytime/Yma Sumac Radio Program.

335. Maps by The Front Bottoms

Year Released: 2011
Released On: The Front Bottoms
Nominated by DJ Cheshire Cat of Wonderland who says: The first time I heard “Maps”, I knew I had to immediately queue it up to repeat endlessly. The simple acoustic guitar riffs are the perfect foundation for the wry words which tread that fine line between snark and self-awareness. As much I would love to quote the lyrics here, do yourself a favor – listen to the song and experience it yourself.

336. If I Knew by The List Riots

Year Released: 2019
Released On: The Kids You Love To Hate
Nominated by Robbie of Homegrown who says: The Lost Riots topped readers/fan polls for consecutive years-playing countless multi-band bills and releasing numerous records. This tune is one of my favorites of theirs- it doesn’t swear and it calls out New haven-can’t go wrong for radio.
