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.)

#195 My Ever-Changing Moods – The Style Council (1984)


 
Shortly after disbanding The Jam, Paul Weller founded the Style Council, which had much more of a blue-eyed soul vibe while continuing with socially-conscious lyrics in much of its material. Like its predecessor, the band racked up numerous hits in England, but it also managed to have some modest success in the U.S., getting as high as #29 with this one and reaching #76 with follow-up release “You’re The Best Thing”.
