Go to musicoutfitters.com, and do a search on the most popular 100 songs from the year you graduated high school. (You can do this by searching on the year you graduated). Bold the ones you actually like. (Understand that the word "like" in this case means, in the very least, "wouldn't immediately change the radio station from.") Pick a favorite. Underline that favorite. And strikethrough the ones you loathe.(Note, I'm too lazy to feel guilty about my musical tastes, so I didn't italicize any...but there are songs I both like and loathe. I did bold and strikethrough for those. I also underlined more than one favorite, and "PTUI'd" ones I especially loathe.)
New wrinkle: Italicize the ones you consider to be guilty pleasures.
Also note that I am terrible at remembering songs by title. I had to look up a lot of these on iTunes, and it didn't have some of them, so I don't know if I like them or not. I also don't remember having heard some of them.
