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.)

#51 Twilight Zone -- Golden Earring (1983)

Hmmm – if you’re not into the likes of Scorpions or Kraftwerk (and I’m not), these guys might be strong contenders for the title of best rock band ever from continental Europe. (No, ABBA doesn’t count as a “rock band”.) “Radar Love” first got these guys on the map, and gets some bonus points for the shout-out to Brenda Lee, but “Twilight Zone” is more ominous and rocks a lot harder. Be sure to crank this one up to 11.
