The Finale!

It's been a fun ride, but all things must come to an end. I began this blog on April 13, 2017. The Top 200 list ended on October 28, 2017, at which point long-time commenter Was joined me as co-conspirator as the blog morphed into the Just Missed It and Awesome Song of the Week duopoly. 

I'd like to take a moment to thank Was for all his work, effort, and great blog content over the past year. Not only that, but he introduced me to "Save It For Later" by the English Beat! Eternally grateful for that alone.

Well, today is November 3, 2018, and this is the final post.

I thought I'd use this space to post twenty great songs that didn't make it onto the blog for one reason or another. Then I'll turn out the lights and lock the door. Thanks for reading and never stop the music!
