<span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">CroutonBoy started a meme to choose the Top 25 songs of the Last 25 Years and Sweetney followed.
</span>

<span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">And since "music is my aeroplane" I figured I would follow them.
</span>

<span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">But first a pretty little disclaimer -
</span>

<span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">The songs I included are all songs from the last 25 years that were meaningful to me. Most of the artists deserve to be on everyone's Top 25 list anyway even if a different song is chosen. They are in no particular order (at the moment) because I already feel like I had to choose between my children just picking the songs that made the cut for this list.
</span>

<span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">Since this list can include nothing before 1984 it is a list without Bob Marley, Michael Jackson, The Police, The Violent Femmes, The Ramones, The Clash and Cyndi Lauper. And yes, that restriction puts me in quite the pissy mood.
</span>

<span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">This is my list of the Top 25 songs of the Last 25 Years with links leading to their videos or performances on YouTube. (And a bonus photo of me playing DJ. I'm available for weddings and bat mitzvahs.)
