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.)

#52 Sailing To Philadelphia -- Mark Knopfler (2000)

Most songs that get into historical stuff tend to be somewhat lacking in musical and/or lyrical quality, no matter how well-intentioned they are. This Mason-Dixon duet with James Taylor is a happy exception. (I’ll leave any questions about historical accuracy to the experts.)
