In the year two thousand...

Everyone likes random memes, right? So here's the gig. Go to www.musicoutfitters.com. Type the year of your high school graduation [or first year, if still in high school] into the search function. Retrieve the Top 100 songs from that year. Strike through the songs you hated. Underline the songs you liked. Bold the songs you loved. Leave blank those you don't care about or don't remember. Annotate at will.
