THE CHALLENGE: You have 25 songs to create the soundtrack to your New Year’s Eve party, but you may only choose from songs released in 2007.
With the many year-end lists fresh in mind, what you will you choose?
Will you grind it out to beats courtesy of Timbaland? Will you squeeze into your skinniest jeans and rock awkward to bands with names referencing indigenous North American wildlife? Will you put Nickel Back and Daughtry on repeat and fist pump into the new year? Or, will you drink champagne in silence because everything in 2007 sucked?
What will your last party in 2007 sound like? Mine will sound like this....
