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.)

I can’t add much to the excellent obituaries referenced above, other than to state the obvious (IMO): The Allman Brothers’ At Fillmore East was the foremost live album of its time, and one of the greatest ever.

 

Favorite Allman Brothers tracks:

In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed*

Jessica

Stormy Monday*

Blue Sky

Ramblin' Man

Hot 'Lanta*

Midnight Rider

Whipping Post*

Ain't Wastin' Time No More

Statesboro Blues*

* - from At Fillmore East

    I would add Sweet Melissa and Southbound to my list.
