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 #8 Gin Blossoms – New Miserable Experience (1992)


I’ve posted a longer discussion about the Gin Blossoms elsewhere, so I won’t repeat it here. New Miserable Experience didn’t catch on immediately, but it was all over the radio from the summer of ’93 through fall ’94, with 5 of its 12 tracks getting significant radio airplay. The other tracks are well worth a listen as well, especially the poignant “Pieces Of The Night”, which was among the 6 songs on the album written or co-written by the late Doug Hopkins.
 
Favorite tracks:
Pieces Of The Night
Hey Jealousy
Until I Fall Away
Allison Road
Found Out About You
Mrs. Rita
