Go to Pop Culture Madness (http://www.popculturemadness.com/Music/Pop-Modern/2006.html) and select the year you became 18. Snip the best 50 songs from the list and paste it in your journal. Bold the ones you like and strike the ones you dislike, italic the ones you know but don't like nor dislike and the ones you don't know will stay common text. (I've added comments on a few in monospace font.)
