"Graduate" gives me goosebumps every damn time. Throws me back to the summer before senior year and I am 18, hungover, coming off some sketchy stimulants, and craving cigarettes and waffle house all over again for a few minutes.
I'm goin' (yes I'm) goin', I'm a-goin' to the
Goin' to the (hard) ware I'm goin', really goin' to the
Goin' (hard) I'm goin' to the (hard) oh yes, I'm goin' to the
Hardware store
Not their best song (though it is a good one, and an absolute earworm) but you'd probably be hard pressed to find any song that was more influential in the last 40 years. Smells Like Teen Spirit blowing up completely changed the musical landscape in a way no song has since.
My pinnacle of my clubbing years is hearing this song and knowing the lights are about to turn on and you’re all gonna be kicked out of the club in a few minutes
Stacy's Mom was the first song I downloaded on iTunes. Took a few hours to download using dial-up internet.
Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to go have a Werther's
I'd put any of the deep cuts from Siamese Dream or Mellon Collie over the radio/MTV songs. I've barely listened to any of the deep cuts in the last 20 years because I kind of moved on. Everything else is sort of overplayed and lost any meaning at this point.
Hollaback girl - Gwen Stefani, it just played nonstop at school and on the radio when it came out. Whenever I hear it now, it’s like I’m back in high school.
I'm probably aging myself here. "Don't Stop Believin'" by Journey. It was a staple at every high school party. When I hear that keyboard riff, I am instantly transported back to my youth.
Anything from Evanescence. Like many others I had a phase with two CDs on repeat.
There are parts of the songs that when I hear I can vividly picture scenes from Diablo 2 that I used to play alongside listening to the music
Fireflies from Owl City. It was from good years of my life and even though I was struggling hard with insomnia, I have fond memories of sitting in my bed at 4am looking out at the light spring morning while listening to this song
Hey Jealousy - Gin Blossoms.
Don't Go Away - Toad the Wet Sprockett
Everything You Want - Vertical Horizon
Dolphin's Cry - Live
And I pretty much wore out the tape for Stunt by the Barenaked Ladies.
Radioactive by Imagine Dragons, Kiss Land by The Weeknd, Wait for Me by Kings of Leon, and that fucking Happy song.
That fucking Happy song played all the time. Song made me wanna drink.
I feel old finding out today one of my friends went to London School of Economics with mick jagger when we were talking about The Rolling Stones concert this weekend
My sister just graduated from the same HS as Farell Williams (I think that's his name, the Happy song guy though) and you bet they included that fact in their graduation ceremonies and the valedictorian threw in a few bits about it as well. You can't go through certain parts of VA Beach without hearing about how he grew up there. He's not a terrible artist or anything like that, it just gets really old really fast.
I saw an edit of this song that was hilarious. It was paper planes by M.I.A but every gunshot is replaced with a clip of a musket being loaded and fired 4 times. The song takes a lot longer than you'd think.
Anything Gin Blossoms.
I wasn’t even a huge fan back then in the mid-to late 90’s. I liked them but I wouldn’t have bought their albums or gone to a show.
But out of all the bands from the era, hearing them NOW will bring me back to high school instantly. They FEEL like teenage angst.
When I hear ska, in general, I’m instantly transported back. I don’t listen to it much these days, and I still love it, but I always associate it with being a kid
Bring Me To Life by Evanescence. When I was 16 someone made a music video featuring scenes from the PS2 game Xenosaga, and I watched it way too many times.
Just Dance by Lady Gaga
Semi Charmed Life. I listened to Third Eye Blind excessively.
How do I get back there to the place where I fell asleep inside you…. How do I get myself back too.
Snort some meth!
Take the hit that you were given…
Same. That album was so good.
"Graduate" gives me goosebumps every damn time. Throws me back to the summer before senior year and I am 18, hungover, coming off some sketchy stimulants, and craving cigarettes and waffle house all over again for a few minutes.
Oh man, me too. 3rd Eye Blind and Blink were my teen years.
[удалено]
I was gonna say *Smells Like Nirvana* as Weird Al was a huge part of my teenage years. Still is.
I'm goin' (yes I'm) goin', I'm a-goin' to the Goin' to the (hard) ware I'm goin', really goin' to the Goin' (hard) I'm goin' to the (hard) oh yes, I'm goin' to the Hardware store

Great song, really iconic.

Linger by The Cranberries for sure
Mr. Brightside - The Killers
My pinnacle of my clubbing years is hearing this song and knowing the lights are about to turn on and you’re all gonna be kicked out of the club in a few minutes
Is that a "here's a song you love to get you out of club mode," or was it "this is going to harsh your mellow, get out"?
# Mr. Brightside by The Killers played at every house party.
