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.)

Best Music of 2015 (Update)


I’ve updated my Best Music of 2015 lists to include where the songs and albums wound up in the WXPN, WTMD, and mvyradio countdowns.

Not as much overlap with the crowd this year, especially on the albums. (However, I predict that “Uptown Funk” will win the Grammy for Record of the Year.)

UPDATE: A friend of mine (thanks Linda!) called my attention to Public Radio's #1 Songs Of 2015. Honestly, most of them I’m not familiar with. I was glad (and somewhat surprised) to see that “Lean On” made the list. There were also some good songs I heard on WXPN and WTMD, notably “Satisfy Me” (Anderson East), “24 Frames” (Jason Isbell), and “Getting Ready To Get Down” (Josh Ritter).
