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.)

#124 Tainted Love / Where Did Our Love Go – Soft Cell (1982)

Perhaps the ultimate 1980s alt-rock classic, it had perhaps the slowest climb in the history of Billboard’s Hot 100, eventually reaching #8 and spending a then-unheard-of total of 43 weeks on the chart.
 
As previously discussed, this failed to make my original list of 100 favorite songs for technical reasons only.
