With my recent acquisition of Rock Band 2 and the update to the Zune, I had a bit of a nostalgic flash. Listening to some of the songs on the RB2 soundtrack brought back some fond memories of hanging with friends in high school, spending ridiculous amounts of time at the movie theater, playing Goldeneye 007 on the N64, swimming until we were raisins... ah good times.
But the music... that was the stuff that tied it all together. Whether it was The Verve Pipe's "Freshman" playing on the radio, listening to The Offspring's Ixnay on the Hombre album in my friend's car while bumming a ride home (I got my license after HS) or the "pocket call" I got from my friend Winston as he was singing Blink 182's "What's My Age Again" at the top of his lungs while he was driving, it was all good.
My question to you is: what songs do you remember rocking out to in high school? I want to make a play list of tracks from around 1994 - 2000 (yes I know that's more than 4 years I attended HS from '94/'95 - '98/'99)? Let me know in the comments!
ETA: Here's the updated list. Class of 1999 Track List
