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.)

Best description of Trump ever?

Courtesy of British writer Nate White. Sample: “God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. … In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump.”

    1. Well, Lovin' Feelin' of course is one of my all-time favorites. I'd take Twine Time as an underrated classic. I will NOT be singing along to the dumb lyrics of In Crowd -- Ramsey Lewis instrumental later in the year was much better. (Of course, Dobie redeemed himself much later with Drift Away.)
