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.)

#127 Sunlight — The Youngbloods (1969)

I initially fell in love with the studio version of this song when it was first released in 1969. (They tried again two years later; neither version even reached the Hot 100.) But the live version on the 1971 Ride The Wind LP (one of my all-time favorites) is even better. Just put this on, lie back on the grass on a warm spring afternoon, and gaze at the clouds. Follow with “Groovin’” by the Rascals, War’s “All Day Music”, and the Isley Brothers’ “For The Love Of You”. Repeat ad libitum.
