How cool was I? Ummm...

This is only really interesting if you're sufficiently over age 18. Go to Pop Culture Madness: Pop Music and select the year you turned 18. Take the first 50 songs and paste them into a word processor, then mark up each song as follows:

• If you liked it, make it bold
• If you disliked it, make it striked out
• If you neither liked it nor hated it it, make it italicized
• If you don't remember it, leave it alone
