Soundtrack to your school years

Recommended Posts

The last couple of years of school for me were great looking back on it. When we weren't fooling around in class we were up the park skating or in the town pissing off pedestrains on ours BMXs, blades & boards :D

Constantly getting moved on and chased. We really thought we were so cool with our combat trousers, oversized trainers and offensive T shirts. Teenagers eh!? (could also apply to skydivers!)

The soundtrack to my life was pretty much the following. I had a compilation CD which I made which was basically on repeat for 2 or 3 years solid.

Eminem Feat whoever - Remember Me
Beastie Boys - Intergalactic
Blink 182 - Whats my age again
Korn - Freak on a leash
Run DMC - It like that
Limp Bizkit - Break stuff
Blink 182 - Party Song
Offspring - Have you ever
Blink 182 - All the small things
Gren Day - Basket case
Rage against the machine -Bombtrack
Slipknot - Wait and bleed
Eminem - Stan
Offspring - The kids aren't alright
Fatboy slim - Praise you
Linkin Park - In The End
Luniz - I got 5 on it
Slipknot - Spit it out

I know I'm probably alot younger than most and some of you will be thinking, 'what do you mean that was years ago!?' :D but I love how when I stumble across these songs from my best years it brings back loads of memories. What about you guys?

Here are some of the songs that stand out in my mind... though I suppose some of the songs I remember from HS were/are a bit different then the norm because of being in the marching band...

Garth Brooks - Friends in Low Places.
Van Halen (several songs)
REM - Shiny Happy People
B-52's - Love Shack
Metallica (Black Album)
Le Miserable (broadway soundtrack) - Marching band played the songs from it one year.
Chess soundtrack (also Marching Band Thing)

Of course I didn't really enjoy Highschool much...
Livin' on the Edge... sleeping with my rigger's wife...
