Swiped from Jenel…
The instructions she has posted: “You go here, find the year you turned 18, then C&P the results. Bold the one’s you liked and strike the one’s that made your ears bleed.”

What I find troubling is how many of the ones I hated I still remember. I think this is also right about the time I stopped liking Madonna. (I think, if I’m being honest, I liked “Like a Prayer” but not “Express Yourself.”) I was working at a radio station for part of this year, so I heard some of these songs far too much.

Some of this stuff, even while I recognize the artist, I just can’t recall the song…
