Well, this is the 100th entry on this humble blog. To mark the occasion, I thought I'd share a list of the songs that I truly love. Some of them might have received an entry here already, and some might still get one. I've decided to put them alphabetically by artist, and just for chuckles, to see if I can find one for each letter of the English alphabet. Some letters might have more than one band, depending on how indecisive I am. Hopefully I'll be able to find an artist for each letter.

============================================
Well, despite my abysmal performance in the last three letters of the alphabet, I came up with artists and songs I love for 23 of 26 letters. That's 88.46%-- a B+ in some grading scales, and a fairly respectable amount. I meant to continue Pop Week today, but I decided this would be a better use of this milestone entry.
And what a milestone it is. At time of writing, this blog has 793 hits. Wow. Call me Taylor Swift, but I am so surprised and so grateful to you, my audience, and I can't thank you enough. Looking forward, I think I'll start trying new things. Maybe I'll write about more than just whatever happens to be stuck in my head at the moment. Stuck In My Skull is as much a blog about what I'm listening to and what I think is good music as it is about music in general. Maybe I'll try and advertise a bit, get a bigger audience. Maybe I'll get other writers to contribute to this blog. We'll see.
As always, enjoy the music, and if you have a song you want to share, let me hear about it!
