1991 was a very ... year

I got this "meme" from my wife on her blog. I guess the idea is that you can identify with the top 100 songs from the year you graduated high school and really show your age.

Anyway, go to this page and type in your graduation year in the upper right hand corner. When the search page appears the top item should be the list of that year's top 100 songs. Copy and paste the list into your page and mark each song as follows:

Put an asterisk next to the ones you like.*
Bold your favorites.**
Italicize the songs you loathe.
Underline the ones you can’t remember.
Leave it untagged if you’re without an opinion.

Okay, so the marking instructions are a little different, but that's only because for some reason I can't seem to get my text to have that "strike through" effect. Oh well. Here's my list...
