    What song were ruling the rock radio airwaves back in 2005? It's been 20 years so it's understandable if you may have forgotten some of these songs. But we're guessing this refresher will bring it all back to you. Sometimes big events from the mid- 2000s will give you the nod you need. Does the start of Christian Bale as Batman in Batman Begins ring a bell? Or how about the end of the Star Wars trilogy with Revenge of the Sith? What songs were you trying out on the newly launched Guitar Hero?
