What an amazing playlist!!! I love this so much. (I hope you poke around in The Weeknd's song list a bit. He's a much better artist than I realized at first, too.)
I wonder how many artists recorded a tune called "Less Than Zero"? You mentioned two, and I know Nine Inch Nails has a good track with that name, too.
And since I'm sure you're waiting for me to tie it back to Rush--I haven't found a single Rush or Rush-adjacent song with "zero" in the title, although "The Body Electric" has a pretty rad chorus involving lots of zeroes!
Awesome idea, and awesome list! 💡🎶 massive amount of songs completely new to me, and I love it. Did a quick search through my Spotify library and it turned out that I have only 3 songs saved with "0" in title, and absolutely none with a word "zero"
Some real gems in here Steve! Every once in a while I forget how absolutely amazing Aimee Mann is. She’s just a treasure and I love seeing that track on here.
That 1996 Schoolhouse Rock compilation was incredible! I was a huge fan of Blind Melon’s version of ‘Three is a Magic Number’
Was wondering if I’d see the Smashing Pumpkins track and glad to see you found a spot for it.
A fantastic Zero song is the obscure track ‘Absolute Zero’ from Hoover, which appeared on the 2019 crate-digging compilation (along with an entire batch of incredible obscure and mostly unheard songs) Sad About the Times. Give it a listen, would love to hear your thoughts: https://open.spotify.com/track/04Ant5Uogcp9acKuPRmOm6?si=ElkNnyb1TPKRYDT584EDbg
Love this! Big fan of the Aimee Mann song and have it on one of my playlists. I think we also have that School House Rock cover album you mentioned, because I often get the Three Is a Magic Number song stuck in my head.
What a great idea, Steve!! Already thinking of what the “One” and “Two” songs might be! Fabulous! But also I’ve got to get your great idea out of my head now….😂🤣🤪
I'm a particular fan of One (both the Three Dog Night and Aimee Mann versions), 7 Days to Change Your Life by Jamie Cullum, 2AM by Bear Hands, The One by Datarock, and A Thousand Beautiful Things by Annie Lennox. Otherwise this is a great list!
Zero the Hero by Black Sabbath is the only other one that came to my mind.
Love this list! The first one I thought of was “Saved By Zero” by the Fixx, so glad to see it made the list!

Great idea, great playlist. Aimee Mann, Tom Petty, Elvis Costello - and others - yay.
‘Hero Ground Zero’ by The Who is worth a listen (from the WHO album).
Imagine Dragons “Zero” (2018)
“One” was written by Harry Nilsson (made famous by Three Dog Night).
I'll just say that an album of the month discussion group sounds like a great idea.

Well done! Great list.
Wow, that is an impressive list, not only for the quantity of "zero" songs but for having something thoughtful to say about each of them.
Cue Wayne's World "we're not worthy. "
Love to see Joan Armatrading getting some love!
Also: It’s always a good time to work Fishbone in.
Not a song but a band came to mind- Remy Zero https://youtu.be/LYdCzs5uPrI?feature=shared
