Warning ~ Non Foodie Post

Going off topic here. I was reading this site (warning to my grandmother ~ you probably don't want to go there) and I fell in love with the concept of looking back to the Top 100 songs of my grad year and seeing how I feel about them now. It's easy to do, just go to musicoutfitters.com, plug in grad year and Top 100 and you are set. I bolded the ones I hated and italicised the ones I don't remember.

What WAS I listening to in 97?? Because it seems like I don’t know anything on here..
Alright, I’ll fess up. I am an oldies/weird music/opera/classical music fan. The only reason I knew any of these songs is because they played them at my university dances.
