music that got you through high school

[Bob]

or is currently getting you through high school

or that you expect you may listen to a lot in high school

for me, i seem to remember listening to the offspring a lot. i thought ignition was like the coolest fucking album ever, but i'm listening to it again right now and it honestly isn't very good. it's very uh, adolescent, but then again, so was i at the time. i still think smash is pretty cool though, but maybe it's just nostalgia. too bad they fucking suck now. as far as i know, i stopped listening to them after americana. maybe they redeemed themselves. unlikely.

the beastie boys of course, i listened to them alot. they were actually the band that got me into music in the first place, before that i never really listened to any music. then i saw the video for intergalactic (yeah, i was a late bloomer, sue me) and fell in love. i don't listen to them as much as i used to, but they'll always have a special place in my somewhere for that. i remember thinking that i was so cool for listening to shit like paul's botique and check your head and assuming that nobody else had ever heard of it, but it turns out they had, and i could have made friends with those people and almost certainly had sex with one of them (turns out she had a crush on me, but i honestly didn't even notice her, but that's a different thread), but i didn't, i had my head up my ass

i'm almost embarrassed to admit it, but i liked slipknot too. i wasn't one of THOSE kids, but i did like them. i was a lame high school kid, it's true, but i wasn't actually as lame as i believed i was at the time. maybe if i'd listened to less slipknot, i'd have figured it out

i liked nirvana, but i never went nuts over it. which is odd, because looking back, i think i was the kind of kid who you might expect would be a nirvana dork, but no

i will say this, at no point in my life did i ever like the insane clown posse. i've got that going for my record, if nothing else.

what about you? what music defined you at that age?

edit: oh yeah, green day. i liked green day a lot. i still kind of don't hate them actually, but i don't talk about it much

btw that sooo was like a 90's recap lol




ummm i'm in my last year of middle school so nextyear i'll be in high school , the beastie boys really got me into new music though or (better) music, since listening to them i got into older rap which my friends think is sooo dope cuz now i'm known as the go-to-girl for music mostly rap. i don't see any music that is being released now that is exciting to me so idk

[TurdBerglar]

ratm
bboys
sublime
and every typical big name grunge band
they basically introduced me to music

[kleptomaniac]

the beastie boys of course, i listened to them alot. i don't listen to them as much as i used to, but they'll always have a special place in my somewhere for that.

awww that's so sweet bob! i, uh, hope you mean your heart!

same here, same here....except i'm listening to them even more than i used to :o

[Caribou]

The first year there was a lot of oasis (hey, I was 11).
After that came Beck, Blur, The Beasties, The Specials, Foo Fighters, Queens Of The Stone Age and a whole shiteload of other music.

I always brought my Discman to school with me, and on my lunchbreak I used to go to the shoppingcentre next to my school and buy CD's.
I was always 'that girl with the headphones', because I never even heard a word the teachers were saying.

[kleptomaniac]

since listening to them i got into older rap which my friends think is sooo dope cuz now i'm known as the go-to-girl for music mostly rap. i don't see any music that is being released now that is exciting me so idk

wow all my friends hate rap music. at least the good kind :rolleyes:
if it's popular & played on mtv 24/7 they like it i guess.

[ggirlballa]

wow all my friends hate rap music. at least the good kind :rolleyes:
if it's popular & played on mtv 24/7 they like it i guess.


well yea, they think its cool i know better & older rap but when i offer them any "good" rap, they'll be like "umm no thanks' & they to listen to the crap rap on top 40 radio & mtv/bet:(

[kleptomaniac]

eh well they are the ones who are missing out! :cool:

[ggirlballa]

eh well they are the ones who are missing out! :cool:

HELL TO THE YES!

*gets out ghettoblaster & starts bustin moves to hard 808 beats & dj cuts*

[Documad]

I have a high school music playlist on my ipod. It's not music that I love or that moved me, but music that puts me right back in that high school gym class, or choir, or whatever. Most of it's highly embarrassing crap.

[Drederick Tatum]

I listened to alot of Deftones at high school. Adrenaline and Around the Fur pretty much were my soundtracks.

[Documad]

I slept outside over night to see Journey. And Prince. Same year. :rolleyes:

[Schmeltz]

How old are you Turd? Because that's pretty much what I listened to all through high school, minus the grunge. Never got into the grunge really.

[TurdBerglar]

63

i stayed back :(

[Schmeltz]

Wow, I was only in high school for like four years.

[jennyb]

Warrant, Def Leppard, Poison, ... you know... stuff like that. Shut. Up. I went to high school in the sticks, before the internet. :mad:

[Helvete]

"Got you through"? School wasn't that hard, pussy. You make it sound like old people saying what got them through the blitz or something.

[yeahwho]

I listened to mainly punk rock and drank very large amounts of alcohol. So much alcohol that my nickname was shaky. From the morning shakes....which I usually cured by drinking some morning beer, in the morning of course.

I also was one of a very few who actually loved rock-a-billy. (still do. went to Vegas last month for a rock-a-billy convention)

My viewpoint and outlook was very narrow and skewered by too much drink, I wasn't a nerd or outcast, I had plenty of friends and still do from school....I just never liked all the regular radio stuff.

Things changed dramatically when I entered the stark raving reality of adulthood. I like most everything nowadays and have always been frustrated that musical talent isn't my forte.

[Kid Presentable]

Beastie Boys, obviously. I too thought nobody listened to them. And at the time (pre-HN) it was kind of true in mainstream NZ. Cool kids knew what the deal was though.

Wu-Tang. I really got into them when I bought Liquid Swords. Dubbed the Cd onto a cassette and used to skate with it blaring in my ears. Went to a midnight opening for Forever.

Suicidal Tendencies/Infectious Grooves. I guess Mike Muir was the fattest emo around before the term existed.

Sebadoh, but only Harmacy. Same with Sonic Youth, just the one album (Dirty).

Helmet. Well, Meantime and then later on Aftertaste. I liked them. I remember when the first Korn album came out, Helmet started playing more shows. Calling themselves 'The REAL Korn'.

The Complete Minor Threat Discography helped me understand a lot of stuff. And while I didn't always live by the lessons, it was nice to know that youth isn't always wasted on the young.

Iron Maiden ftw.

De La Soul. 3 feet was a great album for a kid, and I bashed the shit out of Dead and Buhloone for about 5 years. Never got Stakes is High, funnily enough.

This tape I got off a friend called ChopShop 2. Was all hip-hop instrumentals. Had a sick song which chopped up the vocal of Shimmy Shimmy Ya and other Dirt songs. Raw, Dirty, ODB

The Roots. Maily illadelph halflife. I fucking loved that album. I sold it years ago, and haven't heard it since 98.

Nirvana's In Utero and Incesticide mainly. A bunch of us used to pick the basslines on this shitty old acoustic guitar. Aneurysm sticks out in my memory.

The first two RATM albums as well. I flipped for the first one, loved the second one more.

Everywhere I went I had headphones on. So this shit was part of like a soundtrack to my life. I would be buried in this music for 2/3 of my day, usually.

[Documad]

rock-a-billy
Are we talking Stray Cats or the real deal?

[Bob]

ah yeah, RATM was huge for me too. bad religion as well, i fucking loved bad religion. i still like them, actually, i listen to no control and against the grain fairly regularly. i'm listening to no control right now, as a matter of fact...

[ericlee]

You guys want to laugh at me don't you..

I used to like Motley Crue alot. Only Shout at the Devil and Theatre of Pain though and only sort of liked Girls Girls Girls.

AC/DC was another choice.

Iron Maiden

Nitzer Ebb

The Exploited

Minor Threat

Beastie Boys

Slayer

Flotsam and Jetsom (lol I know I spelled that wrong)

Overkill

Megadeth

Testament

Anthrax

Public Enemy

Nemisis- only cause i had some 10s in my car and the bass rocked

3rd bass

De la Soul

Janes Addiction

Red Hot Chili Peppers

You guys are wondering why I'm adding spaces in between bands

Pearl Jam

STP

Nirvana

Dead Kennedys

They Might Be Giants

The Dead Milkmen

The Jesus Lizard

The Cure

Ice T

a few more.. but mostly

I was a huge Metallica fan. When Black came out, i've lost all respect in them.

[zorra_chiflada]

oh man...
pj harvey was a big one. especially with boy problems
jeff buckley when i was feeling lonesome and sad
queen when i was feeling upbeat and awesome
nirvana all the time
rudimentary peni when i was feeling crazy and weird

[ericlee]

Same as Kid P said, I loved the hell out of Suicidal Tendencies as well as Infectious Grooves. Some of the best guitaring and singing of that era IMO. I wouldn't call Muir fat though. He was pretty damn buff and I wouldn't mess with him. EMO is an interesting term I suppose because it seems likely to fit them, haha.

[Documad]

queen when i was feeling upbeat and awesome
Queen takes me right back to high school ski club.

[SobaViolence]

radiohead
nirvana
beastie boys
chemical brothers
deltron 3030
but i mostly made mix CDs of various tracks, depending on my mood.

and a lot of random happy hardcore stuff.

Oh yeah, Wild Side and Looks that Kill are that piff. (y)

[TOY]

bis
The Clash
Big Audio Dynamite
Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros
Stray Cats
MSI
Ladytron
Le Tigre
Puffy AmiYumi
Gorillaz
Run DMC

a lot of 'alternative' 90s shit...

[DeeJayZap]

Lupe Fiasco

[yeahwho]

Are we talking Stray Cats or the real deal?

HA ha ha...no not the stray cats....not a bad group, but they're almost like a parody of rock-a-billy.....while they was looking pretty the Blasters and Robert Gordon was kicking ass.

The real deal mostly, they've had a radio show up here in Seattle left of the dial for the past 15+ years called "Shake the Shack (http://www.kexp.org/programming/progpage.asp?showID=6&1413)" which is more in tune to what I'm into. You can dial into with your computer if you like.

even now if I go out for a night on the town for any reason choice #1 is the Tractor Tavern (http://tractortavern.citysearch.com/page/ntqa/CALENDAR.html) which showcases this type of music. It's great fun with hot chicks, motorcycles dancing and maybe a fight or two.

i just checked the calendar and I see the Blasters are coming in Feb! :D

[Miho]

I can't remember much, but I'll just mention Beastie Boys, The Pharcyde, De La Soul, The Offspring, Wu-Tang, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and video game soundtracks.

[ericlee]

Dammit, yeahwho's avatar is fucking awesome. Mongoloids rule.

Ok, time to embarrass myself a lil more.

I liked a few songs from Cinderalla too. Nobody's fool and Night Songs were like my favorite.

Def Leppard- Pyromania and High and Dry cassettes were constantly playing. I freaking hated anything they did after Pyromania though.

Listened to a little bit of Whitesnake but never bought a c.d. of thiers.

I got into the Cult a little to cause my cousin was a huge fan and he turned me on to them. We'd listen to Fire Woman in the car to get hyped up before we went to our skate destination.

Ministy- The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste, The Land of Rape and Honey and Psalm 69 was were all overplayed cassettes by me too.

[DroppinScience]

Truth be told, I didn't really get into music (or rather, get serious about music) until the very tail-end of high school. Before then, it was mostly random songs here and there.

Anyways, towards the end of high school was:

Radiohead
Red Hot Chili Peppers
"Weird Al" Yankovic

These were the big ones for me.

If this thread was "music that got you through JUNIOR High" the answer would be The Beatles without a doubt. Morning, noon and night was all Beatles, all the time.

[Gareth]

"Got you through"? School wasn't that hard.

haha
true though - high school wasn't exactly tough times
in fact it was pretty easy [not talking about the work, but life as a high schooler generally was kinda sweet...same with uni]

anyway i was at high school from 1995 to 1999
i listened to lots of wu tang, seeing a big wu tang 'W' hand drawn or twinked onto a school bag was quite common
and i think what KP said about beastie boys was true...i listened to them alot also
in don't think anything can take me back to my teenage years like enter 36 chambers and ill communication
and later, rawkus soundbombing II

oh, i also liked garageland alot cos my sisters friend liked em and i thought she was cool, but she was alot older than me

[DroppinScience]

I could conceivably extend this thread to my "upgrading" years (not quite high school, not quite college), which still involved some HS peeps.

The Clash
Nirvana
The Mighty Mighty Bosstones
Reel Big Fish (yeah, my bro and I were real into ska at that time)
The Offspring (like everyone else, I loved that at the time, but that shit belongs strictly to adolescent years)
Pearl Jam
Pink Floyd
Jimi Hendrix
Rage Against The Machine
Beastie Boys
Sex Pistols
Ramones
Blink-182 (and I'll still enjoy them today, shut up)
Jimmy Eat World
Blur
Gorillaz
The Police

etc.

[yeahwho]

If this thread was "music that got you through JUNIOR High" the answer would be The Beatles without a doubt. Morning, noon and night was all Beatles, all the time.

I was going to mention that about myself too, i listened to the Beatles in Junior High all the time. Last year I made 2 Beatles mixes for people at work with kids in Junior high. The weird thing is I always just figure folks would have the Beatles catalog at home, but you know what? they fucking don't. There are alot of people who could give a rats ass about music, especially if it's going to involve investing time and money.

In High School I was mainly interested in drinking morning, noon and night.

Now I love music and spend at least two hours a week listening to new (to me) music be it 30's 40's 50's R&B or a 2007 mashup. Love it.

[korn_phr33k]

Yeah, if I had to repeat 7th form I would have put Soundbombing II on for sure (Bursary 98).

[Gareth]

what, you didnt repeat to play for the first XV that extra year?

[Kid Presentable]

what, you didnt repeat to play for the first XV that extra year?
I didn't even play rugby. In New Zealand, of all places.

[Otis Driftwood]

Minor Threat, Negative Approach, Manliftingbanner, Nations on Fire, Rorschach, Gorilla Biscuits, Born Against, Merel, Struggle, Acme, Age

[Kid Presentable]

Oh yeah, everybody went a bit mad when Fat of the Land came out.

[Drederick Tatum]

anyone before or after Busary 98 is either too old or too young and their life prospects are lessened by this fact.

[Gareth]

oh what?
i sat bursary stats and calc in 98 if that counts.

Slash records had great stuff going on. Los Lobos was on that label.

[marsdaddy]

God. I remember my sister giving me so much shit for listening to 1999.And I remember ringing in 1984 by screeching it at the top of my lungs along to the rest of my NYE 1983 party jam cassette.

...and then Van Halen's album dropped the next day.

[marsdaddy]

90% of that would have been my jr high list! :pI have 90% of it on vinyl.

I'll be storing my records on the computer soon.

More music that got me through HS:

World Class Wreckin Cru
Egyptian Lover

[monkey]

beasties defined my hs experience. my friend and i were "the chicks that listen to the beastie boys". that's how we wuz known. we were into listening to a lot of the "good old days of grunge" shit and RATM. you know, twas the mid-late 90's. mid highschool, i started getting into listening to a lot of different things around that time, it was my first journey into being a music snob. that was fun for a second.

I was a huge Metallica fan. When Black came out, i've lost all respect in them.
wow. with a couple of minuses and a few pluses we pretty much had the same shit.

[Caribou]

bis


Fuck yes! How could I forget?!
I discovered 'New Transistor Heroes' when I was 12 and it made me feel so cool. Even now there arn't too many people here who know about bis, but when I was 12... man, I was pretty much the only one. And it got me interrested in many other kinds of music. Also, manda was a bit of a rolemodel, being a chubby lass and all. Monstarr became my mantra song.

And then Social Dancing came out and it became one of my favourite albums ever and even the kids in my class thought it was kinda cool.

Ehm sorry. I always get kinda excited when people talk about bis.


PS: I also forgot to mention Radiohead. Also loved them from age 12. Showed me it is possible to feel sheer happiness just through beautiful sounds. And that you can be cool with a wonky eye.

[ericlee]

wow. with a couple of minuses and a few pluses we pretty much had the same shit.

I just kind of grew into hair bands. I didn't like the majority of them like I fucking hated Poison so much. I wanted to kick the tv screen everytime Every Rose has it's Thorn came on Mtv. I hated Bon Jovi too.

Shit, I forget to mention Queensryche. They had some jams back in the day.

Hated Ugly Kid Joe.

I remember liking Gwar back then too but really didn't get into them too much.

Green Jello was just fun to listen too.

I've never heard of Government issue and just barely remember GBH

Oh and Dead Brain Cells was another one of my favs.

beastie boys have been my favorite since 8th grade. i really do think i was one of the only kids in my school that listened to them. whenever i mentioned i liked them i'd always get the response "yeah, fight for your right is a pretty cool song". people just didn't get it. this was also 2001, so they weren't really all too popular amongst my age group.

[Genocide Tulips]

Pixies.

[Shinmeiryuu]

Queen - I had all their albums by the time I was in the 10th grade. I used to blare their music when I drove my car.

Judas Priest - One of the few metal bands I listened to. I think they're great, dispite all the criticism I received.

The Beastie Boys - I had Hello Nasty before I was ever in High School, but when I picked up Check Your Head when I was in the 9th, my fandom of them really took off. Like queen, I used to play their songs really lound when I road in my car.

Led Zeppelin - Would not have, in any way, survived high school without my Zeppelin records. I think I wore out my Houses Of The Holy record, because I played it so much.

Public Enemy - I bought all of their albums in the 8th grade, but, like the Beastie Boys, my fandom for them didn't take off until the 9th grade, when I really started to appreciate Hip-Hop music, and not just listen to it.

The Sex Pistols - Anytime I felt like really rockin' out, I listen to these guys. Nevermind The Bollocks... is probably on my top ten favorite albums list.

The Jimi Hendrix Experience - 'Been a fan of Hendrix since I was a kid. Jimi Hendrix is fucking awesom. The Jimi Hendrix Experience is in my top three favorite bands. 'Nuff said.

The Doors - I could not have survived high school without The Doors. They're one of the bands I played the most throughout my teen years.

The Rolling Stones - My grandmother is a big fan of the Stones. I guess she's the reason why I'm such a huge fan, too. I didn't have all of their albums, but I had alot of their albums. The albums I did have, I played alot.

Sublime - I got into Sublime when I was in the 6th grade. My mom had one of their records, and I listened to them all the time. By the time I was in high school, it was a damn fad to listen to Sublime. It really pissed me off, too, because I'm a big fan of their music. Nontheless, they're one of my long-time favorite bands. I've never gotten tired of listening to my Robbin' The Hood album, and 40oz To Freedom album.
