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.)

#117 Put Your Records On – Corinne Bailey Rae (2006)

Although this one still shows up on WXPN (and on whatever SiriusXM channel my dentist had on yesterday afternoon), I was a little shocked to find out that it actually made the Billboard Hot 100 ten years ago, peaking at a modest #64 but hanging around for 19 weeks. The perfect slow groove for a sunny spring or summer day, this song is to the year 2006 what War’s “All Day Music” was to 1971.
