Top 100 - Halfway There!

Half-way there! This is a challenge trying to list my personal "Top 100" songs of all time. What is the criteria? Well, if I bought the album or CD for just one song then that song probably is on the list. Or, if I found myself hitting the Repeat button when the song was playing, it's probably on the list. Or if the song brings back some pretty intense memories of teen dances, make-out sessions, or toolin' around the loop in town it's probably on the list. The list (so far), in no particular order:

1. Legs - ZZ Top

LOL I was just trying to help Blue!!

Even though I heard of a new CD I want that as some of the original rock and rollers on it...

It seems that One day long ago at Sun records Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis Carl Perkins and Johnny Cash were all thereat the same time and started jamming together.... and they got it all on tape.. I guess they released it as The Million Dollar Quartet.... I'd love to hear that one.

1. Legs - ZZ Top

Come on now, I agree with ZZ Top but I would choose "Cheap Sunglasses"

La Grange is ZZ's best cut... and Jesus just left Chicago.

huh... no BB King, Stanley Clarke, or Dave Mathews?

Still only halfway, Kurt. Dave Mathews will be on there plus Billy Joel, Whitney Houston, Dire Straits, Phil Collins and others I've not thought of yet . No BB King or Stanley Clarke. Sorry.

Naaaah, cheap sunglasses is the tune.
