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.)

#166 Mr. Dieingly Sad – The Critters (1966)

Although also released in 1966, this one could hardly be more different from its predecessor on this list. (BTW, blame the misspelling on the record label folks, not on songwriter Don Ciccone.) Its sound has been compared to that of the Association and the Beach Boys, with chord progressions that are unusual enough that I never did manage to master them when I was playing around with it on the guitar back in the day. For a much longer ode to the song, see this entry by a fellow blogger.
