The Cornjob Memorial Library: Where Were You In 1992?

Go to www.popCulturemadness.com and select the year you became 18. Paste the list of the top 75 songs. Bold the ones you liked; strike the ones you disliked; and italicize the ones you know but don't exactly like nor dislike. The ones you don't know will stay common text.

Sadly for me, 1975 was not a year of going boldly. In fact, it was one big strikeout, musically and socially.
