OK, My Turn

I have no problem stealing and using good ideas so I'm copying this idea from Life on Manitoulin who copied it from Ms. Mamma who probably copied it from someone else and so on and so on. What you do is take the list of top 100 songs from the year you graduated high school, bold the ones you liked, strike the ones you disliked and just leave neutral tunes alone. A lot of the ones I show as neutral I don't even remember at all. Oh, and I'll send a free 2007 Watkins catalogue to whoever sends me the correct year this list of songs is from.

Hmmm...I'm not sure. Could it be 1973??? I actually like the music of your grad year better than mine!!! Carly Simon, Roberta Flack...some of the greatest music artists on my list!

BTW, I cannot believe you scratched out Stevie Wonder (#5)and the Temptations (#8) :)

PS. A movie list sounds like a great idea!
