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.)

#41 Never Surrender -- Corey Hart (1985)

I fell in love with many of the songs on this list the first time I heard them. This one does not fall into that category. I hadn’t particularly liked Hart’s first big hit (“Sunglasses at Night”), and so his subsequent efforts just sort of went past me at the time. However, I used to watch “Cold Case” on TV fairly regularly, and “Never Surrender” ran over the closing credits in one of the episodes. That did it. I’m still not all that fond of “Sunglasses”, or any of Hart’s other stuff, but this one is great.
