Stay - Lisa Loeb

Creep - Radiohead

Linger - The Cranberries

Song 2 - Blur

Ride The Train - Can't remember the artists, but everyone at my high school loved this damn song :shrug:

Gangsta's Paradise - Coolio

Wonderwall - Oasis

Tonight, Tonight - Smashing Pumpkins

What's The Frequency, Kenneth? - REM

And for some strange reason, I associate this song with high school: Dancing with Myself - Billy Idol :evil4:

Oh do I ever. I just don't want to be reminded that I know. And Kris Kross...let's not even go there.

I would add Unbelievable by EMF to that list since it was unofficial class song. The official was the cringe-worthy It's So Hard To Say Goodbye to Yesterday by Boyz II Men.

Our class song was "Freebird"...oh, how I wish that was "Trev being funny". But it's the truth :nonono:

Hannett of the Apes wrote: In most(not all, private systems and different states have seperate systems) American terms, high school is your period in school from the 9th to 12th year up to graduation from the primary system.

Bullshit other people were listening to in HS: Usher & Lil' Jon - Yeah (this was actually pretty catchy) Missy Elliot - Get Your Freak On Maroon 5 - Their massive breakthrough single that had the naked girl all over the video The Strokes - Someday (around the very end, say, graduation week) The Killers - Somebody Told Me The Faint - forgot the names

Bullshit I was listening to: New Order - Blue Monday, Ceremony Depeche Mode - Black Celebration, World in My Eyes Echo & The Bunnymen - Ocean Rain Joy Divsion - New Dawn Fades Japan - Burning Bridges, Ghosts BRMC - Six-Barrel Shotgun No I wasn't a goth, I was just disenfranchised.

Incidentally, during graduation practice, music was required and someone elected a copy of Violator. What a lark. I forgot what they played at the actual ceremony, but I have a feeling it was Don't You Forget About Me.

Hannett, don't forget Linkin Park. I'm in the same boat as you. Except that I wansn't a NO fan at the time. I was into Nirvana, Green Day, Weezer, and some other alt. rock bands. Boy, did I have taste.

whoo-sh 86-90. had issues with the then radio play so happily mooched off my older brother. bless him.

first and foremost as aften as possible the JD / NO lineup.

going downtown at night to dance. playlist was whatever the 'night was :skeptic: first big concert was Pink Floyd's the Wall. :banghead: U2 until Rattle and Hummer. the Doors, Bowie, The Police, Pixies, the Cars,
the names could write a song itself:Pixie Police Cars .. the Ramones. reading Jiphy's post the 4AD label, nice!

then there was Saint Etienne. the Stone Roses, ahh.

why couldn't we all have gone through the same high school. It could have been so much more fun.

Bloody hell - 1977-1980, that takes some thinking.

I was coming out of my Bay City Roller stage.

Loved: Pink Floyd - Another Brick in the Wall Dragon - (Aussie band) April Sun in Cuba Some Aussie bands most of you probably haven't heard of.

God, too old and senile to remember. Just know that some of the songs I would have liked then I would puke at now :uhoh:

Some of the groups I never heard back then I really love now, such as T-Rex. :cool2:

10 Feb 2006, 16:47

oh no not senile. if you're seen mumbling NO songs at a busstop in your housecoat- then..

trailing you here- hearing now some of the bands that were around then is fun though.

add the whole Neil Diamond collection. my mum had them and they get piped thought the shops here and seem to know all the words:D

Republic came out the summer between my junior and senior year. Everytime I hear the album it reminds me of that time. . .on top of the world, had a sweet 62 Merc to drive around as I wished, a good looking girlfriend, surfed all day and spent good time with friends. Thought those days would never end. That was one hell of a summer.
