The Soundtrack of My Existence

As previously noted I find that my life has a soundtrack. It seems like the years all flow with some sort of song continuously playing in the background (at the very least in my head). There are countless songs in my little mental rolodex. Every genre is represented. Some just stand out more than others when I consider my life.

So what seems to define the years for me? Here is a little year by year for you...Some are awful; some are the wonderful gift of Sirius Radio. But all jump to mind when I think about the years that were.
