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.)

Lyric Of The Day #2 (February 4, 2020)

This ain't the same summer song that you used to know
'Cause Jack left Diane thirty years ago

Great song (written by Nate Blasdell / Evan Bogart / Andrew Goldstein / Emanuel Kiriakou / Lindy Robbins) that turned out to be a complete flop in the U.S., although a hit in New Zealand. Performed by a duo best known for its 2014 hit “Classic” (which gets bonus points for name-checking Donny Hathaway, along with the more obvious Michael Jackson, Prince, and Marvin Gaye), “American Dream” is much more of a downer, which probably explains why it didn’t even make Billboard’s Hot 100.
