The new year always arrives filled with hopes and resolutions to make this year better than the last.

It also reminds us that we're getting really old. Year after year, it's unfathomable that it's already time to change the calendar and spend the first three months forgetting to write the correct date on forms. We cling to the past like we're made of saran wrap.

To ring in 2014, we remember what an awesome year 1994 was for music. Back before Snoop Dragon and when the idea of Green Day creating a Broadway musical seemed absurd, Snoop Doggy Dogg and the "Basket Case" band were just getting their start on the airwaves.

So go ahead and nurse your New Year's hangover with some gin & juice while you take a scroll down memory lane.
