Bah. I was what, 5, 7, when Flock of Seagulls was doing their thing?? I think my brethren/legacy was more the 90s, actually - I was just beginning high school when Nirvana and Pearl Jam hit the jackpot. When I think of a youth music movement that defined my high school years, it's got to be grunge...it's just that being the weird eccentric antiquarian that i am, I was much less interested in grunge than in the Clash and X. Anyway mr. iglou, perhaps your brethren/legacy is really the monkees, the archies, the banana splits, the partridge family, and the cowsills  the 60s/70s wasnt all dylans and lennons, i know!! Man I need to get some fuckin work done. Cheers, M |

You were lucky, Mary. I was in HS from '98 to '02, when Limp Bizkit and Britney Spears ruled. I remember when Nirvana and Pearl Jam were really big, but I was 8 or 9.

You poor, poor thing. You know whats funny though... I really strongly remember there being a whole wave of opinion amongst my high school friends that Nirvana and Pearl Jam weren't that great. Of course they were wrong... and they probably went on to buy Limp Bizkit and Britney Spears...

Ahh, highschool- the last strands of punk ebbed away in the faraway distance as they were replaced but eh sounds of the mighty Cure, Cocteau Twins, Joy Division and Siouxsie & The Banshees who entered from stage right...

My time in high school was punctuated by some pretty good music... especially the earlier years of 1990, 1991, 1992...
Then when I graduated in 1993, things were beignning to rot a bit... the second wave grunge wannabes were starting to take their place within a year of being out and starting University...
Hello Silverchair and Bush! Things kinda went into a bit of decline after that, until I hit postgrad study and OK Computer came out. :-)

I remember when Nirvana and Pearl Jam were really big, but I was 8 or 9. ~PunkChick Shit, that's like my favorite era of music (would be even better if I was allowed to include 97 as well). For me, high school was all brit pop. Blur, Suede, Oasis, Pulp, Elastica, Kula Shaker and dozens of other bands that no one remembers now. Re: Doors You know, I don't think I've ever really given the Doors a proper listen (hell, "Light My Fire" might be the only Doors song I ever heard in my life!). The thing is, the folks here have said so many bad things about them that I think I kind of subconsciously avoided investing in any of their albums. You guys should be proud of yourselves, brainwashing an innocent, impressionable little boy like me. |

Actually you make a good point Ryosuke! There were some darn good bands during that era... I just wish they were a tad bit more prominent than the Limp Bizkits of the world...

You kids….
I was in high school between 1976 – 1979. Needless to say, a great era for popular music… Paul McCartney – "Silly Love Songs", Styx – The Grand Illusion, The Village People, Rod Stewart's golden years, Boney M – Nightflight to Venus…

 I have an advance copy of this album, and let me tell you something: it is awesome! They've got 2 (count em), 2 acoustic songs, one of which (track 9) is just an amazing song in structure, verse, chorus and overall feel. Guaranteed to be a song that anyone would appreciate to listen to, and once they were told it was "Slipknot", they would not believe it. It really is a progressive album for them -- quite a departure from their 1st two, dabbling in frantic, off-kilter percussion experiments, and plenty of "breathing" space in between the dense molecular~ structural onslaught of their hyperkinetic attack. It's good to have Slipknot back when they're in this fine sort of shape.  |

I barely bought anything when I was in high school. Maybe ten albums, tops. Still saw a bunch of stuff live, still liked a lot of music, but at the time I needed every penny I had for booze. I amassed over a hundred albums my eighth grade year, but after that, yeah, all money was pissed away on good weekend times. I always wanted more music, but I never had the money. Only bought CDs whenever one of my favorite artists would drop one.
Thank God for Napster and RS, though, not to mention student loans...
