Here, have a music meme!
Step 1: Put your music player on shuffle. Step 2: Post the first one to two lines from the first 25 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing. Step 3: Check off the songs when someone guesses both artist and track correctly. Important Note: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING, and cheating is not endorsed!
Note: I did cheat a bit in that I skipped songs when I already had one by the same artist on the list, otherwise the whole thing would've been by the same 3 or 4 bands. XD So, these are by 25 different artists/bands. Considering that most of my f-list nowadays is not composed of people who necessarily share my musical tates, and most of these are not very mainstream, I'm afraid that a lot of people really won't know what these songs are (I mean that in the most non-pretentious way possible). Still, I was bored, so there you have it.
