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.)

#84 Anchorage -- Michelle Shocked (1989)


2013 was not a particularly good year for Barack Obama. It was a bad year for just about everybody associated with Washington’s NFL team. But it may have been even a worse year for singer-songwriter Michelle Shocked.

Not following either Michelle or entertainment world news all that closely, I didn’t become aware of this until recently, when I was trying to find “Anchorage” on YouTube. (Michelle apparently doesn’t like to have her material out there, so no link to the song from here.)

So maybe there is something to GrooveLily’s “Screwed-Up People Make Great Art.” It’s a shame, because she put out some great music in the late 1980s and 1990s.
