The following listing of my 100 all-time favorite songs is actually a subset of my 500 all-time favorites, for which I presented articles each Monday starting with #500-491 on August 26, 2019 and finishing with #1 on December 21, 2020...you can go back in my blog archives to find your song...just use the blog search window in the upper left corner (in the web, not phone app format). Once again, these are my highly subjective, personal favorites and don't represent an artistic critique of these works...I'm confident that your own list would greatly diverge from mine...
