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.)

#65 Do You Believe In Magic -- The Lovin' Spoonful (1965)

“Summer in the City” by The Lovin’ Spoonful nearly always appears when anyone puts together a list of “Top Summer Songs”. While I like the song, I really prefer a more positive vibe to my summer songs than gritty necks and blowing horns. “Do You Believe In Magic” has nothing directly to do with summer, but it’s great for pool parties, afternoons at the beach, or just cruising down the highway on a nice summer day.
