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.)

#126 The Sun Ain’t Gonna Shine (Anymore) – The Walker Brothers (1966)

This vocal trio sure looked British (check the haircuts) and had some big hits on that side of the ocean, but they actually were from California. Only three of their songs (all great) hit the charts over here, including perhaps the best version of the Bacharach-David classic “Make It Easy On Yourself”. Admittedly they sound more like the Righteous Brothers than the Stones or the Kinks, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing.
