As a fan of a wide variety of popular (and not-so-popular) music from the 1950s (and sometimes even earlier) up through the present, one of my bucket list projects for years has been to put together a list of my 100 favorite songs of all time. At some point I decided that, once I got around to figuring that out, I could put it out on a blog, for the infinitesimally small proportion of the Internet world that might be interested. So, here we are. While the Top 100 will be a major focus, I also plan to post on a variety of other musical (and occasionally non-musical) topics, in which you may or may not be interested. (If a particular posting doesn’t ring your bell, you’re only a few clicks away from a dancing cat video on YouTube.)

Glen Campbell

The once-ubiquitous Glen Campbell may not have been the hippest musical figure of his time, but he did do some really good stuff, particularly his take on Jimmy Webb tunes.
 
Favorite songs:
Gentle On My Mind
Wichita Lineman
By The Time I Get To Phoenix
Galveston
Southern Nights (OK, basically because it’s in Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2)
