The Beginning of a Musical Voyage!

"I love music....any kind of music. I love music....just as long as it's groovin'!" Man, can I remember singing along to those words when I was a kid. The O'Jays must have been reading my mind back in the day, because I am in love with music. Not a day goes by that I'm not immersed in the music for some period of time. And today, I am excited to be embarking on a journey through all types of music in my quest to listen to and blog about the 100 greatest albums of all time! There were several lists that I examined in my effort to decide which ones to choose, from Rolling Stone to Billboard, but it seemed to me that the most interesting and panoramic list belonged to Time magazine. So, that's the list I'm going with!

For the next 6 months to a year, I will be introducing myself to some of the greatest artists of all time; some of them I'm familiar with and some of them, not so much. It will indeed be a journey of discovery that I hope some of you will take with me. The list includes the likes of Miles Davis, Stevie Wonder, Hank Williams Jr. and Public Enemy. I'll start from the earliest decade, the 50's, and work my way to the 00's. It's exciting to think about all the new music I'll be awakened to, and all the great tunes that will feel like running into an old friend.

Although, some of my personal favorites like Rachelle Ferrell and the Isley Brothers didn't make the cut, I still think this list has some of the best music of my time. Keep in mind that I won't be counting down from 100 to number 1. Opinions vary too much for that. I'm just taking it from the oldest to the newest and you can pick your favorites as we groove along. So stick with me for the ride and let's jam to the music!
