This takes a lot of work!
I saw that Lynda had this meme as a post and I thought it was pretty neat. Sooo... I went to the sight, did the search and then I copied and pasted it into a word processing program.... ok... not too bad. BUT when I tried to copy and paste my editing into here I suddenly realized that I would need to do all of the html. :-(
I guess I will try anyway...
BTW - I could not pick one favorite, so there are several underlined.
Go to http://www.musicoutfitters.com , and do a search on the most popular 100 songs from the year you graduated high school. (You can do this by searching on the year you graduated). Bold the ones you actually like. (Understand that the word "like" in this case means, in the very least, "wouldn't immediately change the radio station from.") Pick a favorite. Underline that favorite. And strike through the ones you loathe.
I left the ones alone that were just... ok but not ones I would seek out to listen to.
