Tomorrow is the 25th anniversary of the death of John Lennon. Today marks the 25th anniversary of a less-famous musician, Darby Crash of The Germs. Sadness all around.

Pick out your 20-25 favorite songs. Pick out a line from each (try not to use the chorus or title of the song). List them and see if people on your friends list can guess them. Once one is guessed correctly, strike it out.
Songs from multiple genres and decades. Have fun!
