Regardless
of all the crap these guys got about beating out Kendrick Lamar, Drake, Kanye,
and Jay-Z for Best Rap Album, this song has one of the great anthem-type
choruses of the century. (They also deserve credit for “Same Love”, and “Thrift
Shop” is kind of fun if you stick to the version edited for radio airplay.) I
fully expect it to be played at sporting events as long as, say, “Seven Nation
Army”, and hopefully long after the powers that be mercifully retire the
woefully-overplayed “Mammy Blue”.
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.)
