Making Music Work For Me

I found this blog topic here. The deal is it's a survey to create the soundtrack of your life by filling in songs for each category. Pretty tall order, right? I mean the average person could go crazy trying to find the perfect song for each category by culling from the whole of their life experience. So, to accomplish this feat, I gave myself two rules: (1) I had to do it within one hour, and (2) I could only use songs I actually have in my music collection. I hope you'll fill out the survey on your blog (and link to it in the comments) or just fill it out in the comments. And do it anonymously if it means you'll do it.
