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.)

LP #11 Who’s Next – The Who (1971)


I seldom listen to Classic Rock radio stations. It’s not that the music is bad; it’s just that there’s nothing fresh about it. I feel like I’m listening to the same songs over and over and over and … (even when it’s not Led Zeppelin’s “The Song Remains the Same” – or the Four Tops’ “It’s The Same Old Song”, which of course would never get played on a Classic Rock station).
 
And yet the tracks on Who’s Next, an album that is as “classic rock” as they come, never seem to get old.
 
Favorite tracks:
Won’t Get Fooled Again
Going Mobile
Bargain
