Top 33 Years, 1975-2007

I know I've done this before (ranking the years of my life) but it's time for another edition. I've decided to rank the years 1975 through 2007 (partial as it is). Yes, I was alive for several years prior to 1975 but it's all a blur... wouldn't be fair to rank those years.

In ascending order (with special lowercase-only 1-to-3-word descriptors):

1. 2007* alarm eyelash fixate
2. 1986 smithereens
3. 1997 green T-shirt
4. 1977 steely knives
5. 2000 lakes
6. 1989 brea nights
7. 1984 breakdancing, caravans
8. 1981 customer parking only
9. 1979 radio
10. 1999 kinko's boxes
11. 1988 desert rain
12. 1983 glass menagerie
13. 1998 surviving desire
14. 2003 the writer
15. 1985 wind chill
16. 1994 good songs
17. 2001 good start
18. 1996 mall of america
19. 1987 wheels, things
20. 2002 not again
21. 1975 rust-colored house
22. 1990 across the universe
23. 2004 unemployment
24. 2005 whatevs
25. 1992 better in retrospect
(tie) 26. 1978 edge of town
(tie) 26. 1995 in my car
28. 1982 drive-thru
29. 1991 should have stayed
30. 1980 slipping, sliding
31. 2006 perspective?
32. 1976 pizza depot
33. 1993 wtf

*so far so good
