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.)

LP #34 Dawes – Nothing Is Wrong (2011)

This, the second studio album from Dawes, offers both consistency and a number of true high points. Their fourth album, All Your Favorite Bands, and their sixth effort, Passwords, also stand out, although only the title track from the former reaches the level of the best 3 or 4 tracks from Nothing Is Wrong. I still haven’t figured out why their even-numbered releases significantly outshine the others.
 
Favorite tracks:
