High school music meme
Aug. 22nd, 2005 10:28 amGo to Music Outfitters.
In the Search box in the upper right hand corner, enter the year you graduated from high school.
One of the items returned should be the 100 top songs from that year. Cut and paste them into your journal.
Bold the ones you like.
Underline your favorite.
Strike through the songs you loathe.
Italicize the ones you can't remember.
Leave it untagged if you're without an opinion.
My dad listened only to non-violin classical and bluegrass. My mom listened to NPR. Growing up, I always said my favorite band was the Beatles, since I could remember the name of the band because they were like bug cars (and we sang "Yellow Submarine" in elementary school). In middle school I made a concerted effort to join society and start listening to the radio. In about a year I discovered the classic rock and oldies stations, and since modern music was generally crap, I didn't look back for a long, long time.
I feel that, given that 90% of everything is crap, maybe 1 of 10 songs in the top ten are decent, and those are played so much by "modern" stations you begin to hate even them. Classic rock filters out a bunch of the shit and mixes the remainder up a hell of a lot more. I've looked with far more fondness on the lists some of you guys from the 70s and 80s dragged up...
I know pretty much none of these: ( Read more... )
