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.)

#75 The Boys Are Back In Town -- Thin Lizzy (1976)



This is certainly one of the great rock anthems, but what most people don’t know is that the album from which it was taken (Jailbreak) is quite a good one overall. Many years ago I was in a used CD store in Rockville and was impressed by the music they were playing, which turned out to be the Jailbreak album. Unfortunately the clerk was playing his own copy, which was not for sale, but I kept it in the back of my mind and later picked up the CD elsewhere.
