The Rules:
A.) Go to http://musicoutfitters.com/
B.) Enter the year you graduated from high school in the search function and get the list of 100 most popular songs of that year (the top link).
C.) Bold the songs you like, strike through the ones you REALLY hate. (Would I listen to most of the songs in bold today? Probably not, but I liked them then.)
I graduated waaaaaay back in 1973 - honestly I had to refresh my memory on some of these, like Little Wilie and Pillow Talk. (killed one to many brain cells back in the day maybe)?
