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.)

#172 Love Is The Answer – England Dan & John Ford Coley (1979)

This duo hit the top 10 in 1976 with “I’d Really Love To See You Tonight” and “Nights Are Forever Without You”, both of which I considered pleasant enough but not particularly memorable. I certainly didn’t expect them to come up with this sublime slice of blue-eyed soul three years later, with a performance and arrangement of this Todd Rundgren song that even the Righteous Brothers would have been proud of.
