My husband just finished reading The Iliad. And I?
I took part in a meme. Again.

Meme a little meme of me
Shamelessly ripped off from Suzanne of Perfecting Procrastination. Whom I love. Why do I love her? Not only does she link to this blog, she links to Mamarazzi. And more than that, she totally gets it when I hint--fairly obviously--that the newly pregnant Charlotte Church might be morphing into Britney Spears. Even though the comparison appeared to be lost on almost everyone else.
To reward Suzanne for her perspicacity, I, the inimitable Poppy, a Partly-Digested Parboiled Squid in the TTLB ecosystem, am finally getting around to linking to her amazing blog.
I'm also going to do her meme. Which is about which music had your shaking your groove thing during your formative years, man. Also, which music gagged you with a spoon. This meme is the real deal-i-o, hep cats and cool chicks. Want to find out what kind of weirdo I was when I was 18? Read it and laugh.
First, here are the rules:
1. Go to popculturemadness.com and select the year (in the left sidebar) you turned 18.
2. Paste the list of the top 75 songs. (Except I stopped at 40. My readers don't have much of an attention span.)
3. Bold the ones you liked; strike the ones you disliked; and italicize the ones you knew but didn't exactly like or dislike. The ones you don’t know will stay plain text.
I don't know whether this is a spoiler, but it's clear that 1.) If you didn't dance to it, I wasn't interested; 2) I hated country; 3) I was completely uninterested in what was up-and-coming in the realm of rock (i.e., had never heard of Bruce Springsteen at this point) and with the exception of my dislike for Elton John's whininess, irritating falsetto voices, and sappy chick singers, had pretty well stabilized Truly Terrible Taste.
