I remember far too much pop music
Ganked from Jaz and I couldn't decide which were the "best 50" so I just grabbed the enitre list.
This is 1986 - Interestingly enough, 1989 has better songs and by 2000 I know very few. Apparently some time in the 90s I really lost touch with pop culture. However these listing seems pretty arbitrary to me.
Go to Pop Culture Madness http://www.popculturemadness.com/Music/Pop-Modern/2006.html and select the year you became 18.
Snip the best 50 songs from the list and paste it in your journal.
Bold the ones you like.
Strike the ones you dislike,
Italic the ones you know but don't like nor dislike.
The ones you don't know will stay common text.
