Nov. 29th, 2006 10:22 amGo to http://www.popCulturemadness.com and select the year you became 18. Paste the list of the top 75 songs. Bold the ones you liked; strike the ones you disliked; and italicize the ones you know but don't exactly like nor dislike. The ones you don't know will stay common text.

What's interesting about this meme for me is that as I've been burning all of my CD collection to my new shiny hard drive, I've run into a bunch of music from this era. I can't believe how much I used to spend on so-so music - that's something iTunes has really improved for me. I can go in and get the songs I want and not have to pay for the entire freakin' album.
This is a very poptastic list. Pearl Jam and Nirvana don't show up until 1994, but those bands (and The Pixies, Violent Femmes, Depeche Mode, Counting Crows....) were what I was listening to when I was 18 - though I will always cop to a weakness for well-produced, danceable pop. I would love to hear people's opinions on the swing to uber-poppiness and then to gangster rap & grunge.
( Does Bowling For Soup have a song about 1993? )
