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.)

Bob Weir

A lengthy obituary in Variety accurately described Weir as “a cornerstone of the Grateful Dead and the San Francisco psychedelic band’s many latter-day offshoots for more than half a century.”

Shakedown Street

Ripple

Uncle John’s Band

Sugar Magnolia

The Music Never Stopped

Throwing Stones

Truckin’

Touch Of Grey

Bertha

Hell In A Bucket

 

Bonus track (Bob Weir solo): Only A River
