Pop music meme thing

So here's how this round of LJ silliness goes: go to 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.

I just did this exercise for '93 and basically crossed out everything except for Ace of Base and Radiohead. There was a lot of crap around that I'd forgotten about.

(In unrelated news that Proclaimers song... I thought that had a refrain involving a pterodactyl for quite some time. I guess I don't hear well.)

Yeah, the thing about the songs I bolded is that at best, I thought they were: ok but nothing to be excited about (Radiohead, Belly); cloyingly catchy (Naughty by Nature); or fall-down funny (95 South and Tag Team (Petree had this song on cassingle, incidentally)). Not a one of them was a song I really thought was any good.

I cannot believe that you crossed out Meatloaf. I can't talk to you anymore.

If I'll Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That) is the line in the sand you want to draw, there's nothing I can do about it. Enjoy yourself with the worst schmaltz of the decade.

I have to agree with da commander on this one.

Clearly you were suffering from Ballot Fatigue towards the end, otherwise you'd have remembered 'informer' by snow? Think Vanilla Ice trying to be Jamaican.
