For most of my life my favorite music in any particular year coincided with what was newly released, played, and popular at the time. This changed in 1991 when I rediscovered Led Zeppelin and explored their catalog of music, coming up with some gems going back two decades. Since then some of my favorites from year to year are from earlier times...for example, my "song of the year" for 2018 was from 2006: Lazy Eye by Silversun Pickups. Last year many of my favorites were from the late, great Prince, many going back to the 1980s: this year my favorites range from 2014 to the present...yet in my mind they are "2021" favorites. Below is my list of favorite songs for the first three months in 2021. Check them out...YouTube is a good starting place. Each song is listed by title, artist, and year of original release...
