Go to http://www.popculturemadness.com/, click on the decade you turned 18, find the actual year you turned 18 and copy the top songs for that year and paste. Then bold the ones you liked, strikeout the ones you hated and italicize the ones about which you were neutral. The ones you’ve never heard will stay unformatted.

Amazing. I remembered 20 out of 25. And of course they are now playing in my head. LOL For a big concert goer, I saw only one on this list--Bruce Springsteen. And it wasn't his Born In The USA tour either. Madonna grew up six miles down the road from me...so while I never enjoyed her music, some perverse loyalty prevents me from striking her off.
Question...did you like the music of "your age"? Or did you spend more time listening to music 'belonging' to another age group? For me, it was the latter. I preferred the music my older brother enjoyed. Kind of makes this list feel silly. Nothing really here that I would call my own. Anybody else feel that way?

Jennifer, wasn't this fun? I YouTubed alot of the songs because I kept thinking, "oh I love(d) that song!"
No, I feel lucky to have been in my late teens and early twenties in the 70's. Some really great music was around. Although, I love swing music from the 40s.
I totally feel that way, Jen. Although, I did grow up listening to the songs of the 70s, so I don't know that I listened to a different age group's songs, but... Me, I'm a mid-late 70's hard rock chick. That is, after I graduated from Olivia Newton-John LMAO!!!
And my older sister (TB) was listening to easy listening stuff, so that doesn't count LOL.
Oh, and I have to say, I HATED We Built this City! Poor Jefferson Airplane. *shaking head* What a comedown.
First of all - I LOVE this list! LOL It makes me think of all the bars my friend and I used to go to for dancing. We were only 19, but we knew a lot of bouncers. LOL
And yeah. I prefer either mid to late 70's rock or 90's alternative.
I definitely feel that way. I like music of all eras, but the ones from my list? So not the business.
If I had to pick just one era it would like Lori, 70's classic hard rock, but I listen to just about everything.
I'm a little late coming to this but was amazed when I clicked on 1968. I loved ALL the songs. Ina Godda Davida was on that list - yes!
*gasping in horror* You're only neutral about Summer of '69?!?!?! That's one of my all time faves and has prompted me to see Bry 3 times now in concert!
And I tried it too and there was only one song on the list I liked when I turned 18. I'm so much more of an 80's girl rather than 70's
