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.)

#42 Harvest For The World -- The Isley Brothers (1976)

The Isley Brothers covered a wide variety of stylistic territory during their lengthy career – it’s hard to find a lot of similarities between “Shout”, “This Old Heart Of Mine”, and “That Lady”, for instance – but this mid-tempo plea for a better world is my personal favorite (although it was by no means an easy decision).
