Not bad, not bad at all. π
Go to popculturemadness.com, search the year you turned 18, and snip out the top 50 songs.
Bold = I like the song
Stricken out = I do not like the song
Italicized = don’t care one way or the other
Under lined = no idea what the song is
Because my birthday is at the end of December, the next year is probably just as interesting (to me). Let’s have a look:
Keep in mind that a lot of the ones marked as “no idea what the song is” can be blamed on the fact that these charts are US oriented, as far as I can tell, and I grew up in the Netherlands!
Can you guess what the years are without checking various years on the website?

visited 13 states (25%)
create your own personalized map of the USA
I landed in Atlanta in ’99 for my first visit to the US, visited some people in that area and let’s not forget I also flew to Chicago and saw some of Michigan. π I’ve seen a bit more of Michigan since then, as well as the states between it and Kansas, partially visiting and partially roadtripping through them.
M has family on the east and west-coast so no doubt I’ll see more of that in the future. Definitely want to visit Hawaii and Alaska at some point.

The Veteran You scored 88%! |
You’ve picked up the majority of the classic rock basics. You probably have a classic rock collection and can sing along with most of the songs on your local radio station.
This is not the highest score, but it is arguably the best: that subtle combination of impressive knowledge and not being a pretentious geek. |
