Steve O Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 Pretty much any song from the first half of the seventies
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 High school is epitomized by the HS scene in Donnie Darko, with Tears for Fears' "Head over Heels" playing:
truth on hold Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 A timeless classic that applies to any high school era
BUFFALOKIE Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 Seventeen, by Winger. LMAO! I was sixteen, she was seventeen and smokin hot, and that song made her feel like FINALLY giving up the goods! And she did. And for that, I thank you Kip Winger!

ajzepp Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 Seventeen, by Winger. LMAO! I was sixteen, she was seventeen and smokin hot, and that song made her feel like FINALLY giving up the goods! And she did. And for that, I thank you Kip Winger! I have a similar story, but with Cinderella's "Don't Know What You Got (til it's gone)" instead of Winger. My buddy and his girl went upstairs and left me alone with "the friend". Before they went upstairs, they put the CD players on "repeat"...the rest is history

JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 (edited) I went to high school in the late 70s so unfortunately disco was very popular. Even KISS went disco at this point. The good news is that alternative/punk was just starting up. My Sharona/Good Girls Don't - The Knack Elvis Costello - This Year's Model/My Aim Is True Sex Pistols The Clash The Buzzcocks The B-52's The Cars Blondie Gary Numan Joe Jackson Ramones DEVO In the Good Old Rock N Roll category: Cheap Trick Styx Come Sail Away Kansas Dust In The Wind Rolling Stones Some Girls Supertramp's Breakfast in America Rush A Farewell To Kings/Hemispheres/Permanent Waves Boston Early Van Halen Early AC/DC Judas Priest Ted Nugent Cat Scratch Fever Pink Floyd Animals/The Wall Bob Seger Tom Petty Don't Do me Like That/Refugee Journey Lovin Touchin Squeezin One of my absolute favorites was (and is) Graham Parker & The Rumour: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLU6FeN4GLw&feature=player_embedded Edited August 13, 2012 by JÂy RÛßeÒ
Chef Jim Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 I was in high school from the mid to late 70's and there are way, way, way, way too many to list.
bbb Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 I was in high school from the mid to late 70's and there are way, way, way, way too many to list. Same here. I could probably name more songs from high school & college than in all the years since.
JinVA Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 Pumped Up Kicks Okay not really. I couldn't name a song but two albums it seemed that everyone owned and was played all the time at parties etc. Were The Cult Electric and B Boys Liscened to Ill.
LeviF Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 (edited) I ran with a few different crowds in high school, and as such have a bunch of different songs that don't really seem to fit together, but they really resonate with me: Transplants - "Diamonds and Guns" Sublime - "40oz. to Freedom" and "Santeria" T.I. - "Bring Em Out" ... My friend had this big cordless iHome that we'd carry off the bus when we arrived at our golf matches and my iPod would be hooked up playing this song Green Day - "Jesus of Suburbia" and "Basket Case" Violent Femmes - "Good Feeling" Nas - "Ether" Michael Jackson - "Billie Jean" The Who - Baba O'Reily Rush - "Prime Mover" The Gaslight Anthem - "Meet Me By the River's Edge" Foo Fighters - "Everlong" Unk - "2 Step (Remix)" And then pick any top 40 R&B/Hip-hop song from my four years in high school and I can probably recite every word of each one from the sheer amount of times they were played at parties. Oh, and can't forget: Cascada - Everytime We Touch Edited August 14, 2012 by LeviF91
