In the first
half of the 1970s, after their origins as a British blues band and before their
emergence as California rock stars following the addition of Stevie Nicks and
Lindsey Buckingham, Fleetwood Mac released some largely-overlooked but worthy
material, particularly this track (written by Christine McVie) and “Hypnotized”
(by then-guitarist Bob Welch, whose departure prompted the addition of
Buckingham and Nicks). While the albums released during this period have not
been difficult to find on CD, the tracks for some reason weren’t available for
purchase in iTunes or Amazon. I continued to check every several months, and lo
and beyond they have finally appeared, so I guess I have a couple of purchases
to make.
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.)
