Go here. In the Search box in the upper right hand corner, enter the year you graduated from high school.
The first item returned should be the 100 songs from that year. Cut and paste them into your journal.

Bold the ones you like.
Underline your favorite.
Strike through the songs you loathe.
Italicize the ones you can't remember.
Leave it untagged if you're without an opinion.

1967 )

I'm amazed at how many I remember, since I wasn't ever much of a pop music listener.

Edit: After my response to [livejournal.com profile] drelonek below, I went to look at the list from 1970 for my number one hated pop song of all time, Joni Mitchell's "Big Yellow Taxi". It wasn't there. The song drove me crazy. I couldn't sleep after leaving work for weeks on end because of it. (It wouldn't have been a bad song otherwise, but it was played absolutely to death that summer.) Could I be wrong? No, other sources confirm: it was Mitchell's first gold album, her first big top 40 hit. And it was in 1970. Now I'm suspicious of these lists. Have they been "expurgated" for some reason?
