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.)

    During the third week of July, 1960, three different versions of Alley Oop appeared in the Top 40.

      Dante and the Evergreens???

      Trivia note -- Gary Paxton, who had the big hit released under the name Hollywood Argyles, was also "Flip" of "Skip and Flip".

    And David Gates wrote "Popsicles and Icicles."

      In February 1957, Sonny James and Tab Hunter both hit #1 with "Young Love".

      ...which Ed Moore would begin singing whenever he saw a young couple walking hand in hand on the LVC campus.

      My primary musical memories of Ed were Days Of Future Passed (esp. "Nights In White Satin") and Neil Diamond's Hot August Night LP.
