I've done a lot of thinking. The soundtrack of my life should be compiled so that when I die, it can be played at my funeral. If I am to die of natural causes, the compilation can be played on shuffle; if I die an untimely death, it must be played straight through in a dark room with xiv candles burning. Also, I must be worshiped in a way that will anger God (I will convince God to forgive you all--don't worry).
To compile my life's soundtrack, I'm simply coming up with a "song of the year" for each year I have lived. In a hypothetical Adamian calendar beginning June 4, my birthday, and ending the following June 3, there are now xxix songs.
Now, the "song of the year" doesn't necessarily mean my favorite song from a given year. It simply is the song that defined my year the most at the time; some of the songs of the year are songs that I now hate (read below and guess which ones).
Let's go through the years leading up to this one, and then I'll present to you this year's nominees (please keep in mind that it wasn't until 1992 that my taste in music became worth a damn):
Yes, it's been a great life, and nowhere near as great a soundtrack. So far, disc one sucks, and disc two rules. If I live long enough for a box set, I'm sure things will improve unless I go on a 12-year Barbara Mandrell kick.
So...it's mmix now, and it is time to determine the Song of the Year for the Adamian Year 2008-2009. Here are the nominees:

That's a decent soundtrack. I count only 6 years where it appears you were contemplating if you were really straight or not.
Lemme guess which six songs you mean: "Total Eclipse of the Heart," "My Toot Toot," "You Give Love a Bad Name," "Blaze of Glory," and that's all I got. Liking Queen isn't gay. You suck.
Total Eclipse of the Heart, My Toot Toot, Eat It, Country Roads, one Neil Young song is ok, two back to back makes it questionable, and anything Paul McCartney did after the Beatles is suspect.
"Total Eclipse of the Heart" - I was 3.
"My Toot Toot" - agreed, but I was like 6.
"Eat It" - Eat it.
"Country Roads" - Ok, fine. But I was 9.
Neil Young - Neil is God. You like Kansas.
"Let Me Roll It" - Have you even heard this song?
For the most part, you're bashing me for the stuff I liked when I was a toddler. Who'd you like--Poison?
I didn't say you were gay, I said you were questioning it.
