Tim did his greatest 100 songs of 1971. I thought it was a great year for music and will attempt to go 100 songs further into 1971 so it is a challenge so to make it 'some-what' even I will include songs released from September of 1970 since they were charting strong in 71 or were just starting to chart at that time.
I will post my list side-by-side to Tim's to compare.
