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.)

#40 Don't Ask Me Questions -- Graham Parker (1976)


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJVlrhWaZhA

Graham Parker has put out a lot of great material over the years, but I consider his first album, Howlin’ Wind, to be his finest work. While the LP contains a number of memorable uptempo songs, “Don’t Ask Me Questions” winds things up with a snarling, incredibly powerful blast of righteous anger. Not necessarily for the faint of heart, but well worth a listen.
