High School Records!

[Gowienczyk]

or if you are one of the younger regulars, middle school records. What I'm getting at is what records did you really enjoy when you were younger; you felt they were so "relative" to your interests and emotions or just were awesome to listen to for you. Here's a few records I remember I adored in high school and still do:

Bad Religion - The Empire Strikes First
Jellyfish - Bellybutton
Jimmy Eat World - Bleed American
Less Than Jake - Hello Rockview
Mushroomhead - XIII
System of a Down - Steal This Album!

As for what I liked and don't now? A lot of post-grunge, radio rock and substandard "nu-metal" records. Augh.Anyway; Outside of Bad Religion, I really don't extremely listen to these anymore, but that happens, taste changes. What I ask you is what records are a blast of nostalgia for you?

[supernova1324]

I used to like radio rock, post grunge, radio rock, and mainstream rap and hip hop. Now I'm more selective and open.

Some of the main ones I remember are:

Linkin Park-Hybrid Theory
MCR-Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge

[afterstasis]

catharsis - samsara and passion
moss icon - lyburnum
don caballero - 2
burzum - filosofem
smashing pumpkins - mellon collie and adore
integrity - humanity is the devil
sonic youth - daydream nation and goo
crass - penis envy

How did you have such awesome taste back in the day? I feel bad about my music history now! :(

[Gowienczyk]

I used to like radio rock, post grunge, radio rock, and mainstream rap and hip hop.

So what exactly has changed? :p

[supernova1324]

So what exactly has changed? :p
Fine, I don't listen to it as much and I'm more open.

[Gowienczyk]

Of course. :)

[Runesmith]

Still listen to all of these albums regularly or on a semi-regular basis. I just noticed how many compilation and best of records I had in my collection, too. Hmm.

i had really awesome older peers and despite my current obsession with weiners and poop jokes now, i used to quite mature for my age. :)

[a21schizoidman]

Highway to Hell, Live, Let There Be Rock, Back In Black - AC/DC
40 Licks, Flashpoint! - Rolling Stones
DSOTM, The Wall - Pink Floyd
I Robot - APP
Stop Making Sense - Talking Heads
Bad Company - Bad Company

[timmay9]

Since I'm only a freshman in hs:

I listened to these mostly on my iPod

Dookie-Green Day
The College Dropout-Kanye West
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band-The Beatles
1-The Beatles
Violent Femmes
40 Licks-The Rolling Stones
The Ultimate Collection-The Who


But in the 6th grade I was all about black music:
Greatest Hits-N.W.A
What's Going On-Marvin Gaye
And a lot of Motown and classic rap records.

Then I tried to fit in by listening to the hip-hop/rap/pop station. I feel horrible about it now, because I wasn't true to myself. Then near the end of 8th grade I started listening to rock.

And now I'm where I am, open to anything.

[thedoorsdk]

My high school days were pretty much based on music, and while there a number of bands and records that influenced me in those days, if I had to choose the top 3 I'd go with:

At the Drive-In - "Relationship of Command"
Dead Kennedys - "Plastic Surgery Disasters/In God We Trust, Inc."
The Doors - "Strange Days"

[TheClashTheClashTheClash]

Album I adored in high school (only 3 more weeks of it):

[King_Nuthin]

It wasn't that long ago, but my tastes have changed a lot, excluding the last five.

[Mega-Tallica]

In middle school, all's I remember listening to was Linkin Park, Papa Roach, and Slipknot. That was back in the day when I thought I knew everything about music. Young ignorance....

So not much has changed?

[Alright_Computer]

I remember listening to Linkin Park. And enjoying it. Then I moved up to eighth grade.

I'll get a list in a second, I can't remember enough of them right now to make a legitimate list.

[Mega-Tallica]

So not much has changed?

Ummm, yes. I don't listen to any of that anymore. I listen to music with actual meaning and purpose unlike you little freshman who doesn't seem to know much about anything.

EDIT: How old are you? 14? OMG, I'm arguing with a minor.

[timmay9]

Ummm, yes. I don't listen to any of that anymore. I listen to music with actual meaning and purpose unlike you little freshman who doesn't seem to know much about anything.
Haha...You listen to music with meaning and purpose, like Disturbed? :p

Edit: And I'm about to turn 16, and already know more about music then you do...

[Mega-Tallica]

Haha...You listen to music with meaning and purpose, like Disturbed? :p

Edit: And I'm about to turn 16, and already know more about music then you do...

disturbed is alternative metal not nu-metal. For a little kid that does a lot of talking about how much you know, you should know that.

[Alright_Computer]

EDIT: How old are you? 14? OMG, I'm arguing with a minor.

Nu-metal isn't exactly known for its meaning and purpose... most of the songs on his setlist are. Your point?

And age is irrelevant when it comes to maturity and music listening habits, as you've apparently proven time and time again.

[timmay9]

disturbed is alternative metal not nu-metal. For a little kid that does a lot of talking about how much you know, you should know that.
That's not what they are classified as...

And I wouldn't call myself a little kid.

[Mega-Tallica]

Nu-metal isn't exactly known for its meaning and purpose... most of the songs on his setlist are. Your point?

I know that, that's pretty obvious, nu-metal isn't much about anything. I'm not talking about his setlist anymore since I've already made my point about that.

[Mega-Tallica]

That's not what they are classified as...

And I wouldn't call myself a little kid.
Your a freshman and your 16? What you stay back a few years? Disturbed is alternative metal especially their new stuff. And yes you are a little kid.

[supernova1324]

Your a freshman and your 16? What you stay back a few years? Disturbed is alternative metal especially their new stuff. And yes you are a little kid.
Alternative metal isn't a real genre Mr.Know-it-all.

[timmay9]

Your a freshman and your 16? What you stay back a few years? Disturbed is alternative metal especially their new stuff. And yes you are a little kid.

I said I'm turning 16 soon. Like 4 days after school ends. Never been held back. In AP classes too.

[Alright_Computer]

Your a freshman and your 16? What you stay back a few years? Disturbed is alternative metal especially their new stuff. And yes you are a little kid.

Wow, real mature. Personal attacks. He may be younger, but he's acting about twice your age right now.

[Mega-Tallica]

Alternative metal isn't a real genre Mr.Know-it-all.
What are you mentally challenged? Alternative metal is a real genre and that is really on the rise right now. Bands like Disturbed, Sevendust, Soilwork, etc. are alternative metal. There's alternative rock, there is alternative metal.

[Mega-Tallica]

Wow, real mature. Personal attacks. He may be younger, but he's acting about twice your age right now.


Yeah, he's real mature. Anybody that's in HS has a ways to becoming mature. At least he's in AP classes so I know he has some sort of brain in his head.

[timmay9]

Even if it is a genre, Disturbed isn't listed under it:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_alternative_metal_artists

[Mega-Tallica]

Just because it's not on Wikipedia doesn't mean they aren't. Wikipedia is the least useful sorce on the internet.

I think you completely missed my point. I was saying that you were being immature, not him. You did call him a little kid and act completely condescending to him. Not exactly the most mature thing to do. And I'd be willing to bet that even though timmay is a "freshman" that he has more musical knowledge than you.

More knowledge of music? No. More knowledge of street smart? No. More knowledge of absolutely nothing that's useful in life that you learn in school maybe. I was also in AP classes in English and Math, but that's besides the point. Nobody's making any point here really.

I like how you're judging someone's knowledge of music and street smarts when all you have to go off of is a few internet posts.

And let's just look at your avatars (I realize this is a ****ty way to judge musical knowledge, but whatever.) Coincidentally, you both have album covers as your avatars. Yours is Dream Theater. His is Television. I'd say based on that alone he would have more musical knowledge than you.

Like I said, this is a bad example, but whatever, I'm using it anyway.

I'm just supporting the new DT album coming out on June 23rd. Dream Theater consists of some of the best musicians in the world, however, they can't write a song to save their life. Television writes better songs, DT has better musicians.

[timmay9]

Just because it's not on Wikipedia doesn't mean they aren't. Wikipedia is the least useful sorce on the internet.
But if you look at the discussion page Disturbed isn't even brought into question, while Sh*tknot was.

[Mega-Tallica]

But if you look at the discussion page Disturbed isn't even brought into question, while Sh*tknot was.

As I've said Wikipedia is not always a reliable source. I can go on there right now and put Disturbed as an alternative metal band. Anybody can go on there and edit information. I was looking up the date George Washington died one day on Wikipedia and it said May 2004. So don't always trust what's one Wikipedia.

[timmay9]

I'm talking about the discussion page. Where actual discussion goes on over the validity of information.

[Alright_Computer]

Like I said, it was a really ****ty way to judge someone's entire musical taste on just one album they have on display on a forum. So I digress.

In general, if someone didn't vandalize a Wiki page, it's usually reliable, though there are a lot of exceptions. Those are mostly on smaller pages and not on larger, more popular pages like I'm sure the alternative metal list page is.

[timmay9]

Haha at Pertucci being better than Verlaine or Lloyd.

[Mega-Tallica]

Haha at Pertucci being better than Verlaine or Lloyd.

You've got Malmsteen on your list. I don't understand how you can't have Petrucci on there when they are so alike. Malmsteen is a great shredder, Petrucci is great shredder. How can you have one and not the other? And michaelangelo batio is missing.

[timmay9]

In your opinion. Pertucci's recent work has bored me. I do think he had some great playing on Images and Words and with LTI.

[Mega-Tallica]

In your opinion. Pertucci's recent work has bored me. I do think he had some great playing on Images and Words and with LTI.

His solo work is his best work by far. He's so by the book that it's almost annoying to hear him lately with DT. He shows hints of actually playing with 'feel' on Glasgow Kiss.

[timmay9]

I've felt he's been a very cold player for most of the past 10 years.

[Mega-Tallica]

I've felt he's been a very cold player for most of the past 10 years.

Take a listen to some songs off his Suspended Animation album, his best work from the past 10 years.

EDIT: We've gotten extremely off topic.

[schmeankman]

I'm still in middle school.... Kindergarten records?

[Fizzeler]

I loved Radio Rock around sixth grade, but grew out of it by seventh however Classic Radio Rock has never left my library and it seems Prog. is here to stay as well :D

Wow. You had great taste back in high school. Lots of variety, too.

That's only the tip of the iceberg. :)
I used to spend about three days a week in the record store buying up whatever was hot....I tended to lean towards what was considered alternative back then -- new wave, punk, heavy metal, and the rap pioneers. A lot of the stuff that was considered "edgy" when I was a kid is considered mainstream these days....*sigh* :(

[JukeBoxHero]

Queen-Classic Queen
Kiss-Gold

The only two albums I had in middle school. I don't really listen to them at all, because my interest has sifted to albums for the most part. I still enjoy Kiss to a degree and love Queen but those greatest hits will probably gather dust in the next few years. :D

[AxlVanHagar]

So the soundtrack to my high school years...hmm...let's see I was in high school in 84-89. Off the top of my head i played the Hell out of the following

Van Halen - Van Halen
Motley Crue - Shout At The Devil
Iron Maiden - Powerslave
Def Leppard - High And Dry
Prince - Sign O' The Times
Guns n' Roses - Appetite For Destruction
Frank Zappa - Ship Arriving Too Late To Save A Drowning Witch
Duran Duran - Seven And The Ragged Tiger
Platinum Blonde - Standing In The Dark
Several scores by John Williams and John Barry
Niccolò Paganini - Caprice No. 24 in A minor
Alice Cooper - Constrictor, Killer, Love It To Death
David Bowie - Let's Dance
Michael Jackson - Thriller

Sweet! I like the screen writers. I had several of those, too, mostly Maurice Jarre -- Lawrence of Arabia, etc.

I can't even begin to think what my list would be like, but I'll have a shot:

Ray Charles -- I forget the name of the album but it was a bunch of R&B covers of classic country songs from the likes of Hank Williams. MUST HAVE ALBUM!!
Anything Beach Boys
Anything Beatles
Anything Byrds
Anything Lovin Spoonful
Anything Buffalo Springfield
Jefferson Airplane, Surrealistic Pillow
Moby Grape, Moby Grape
Quicksilver Messenger Service, Quicksilver Messenger Service
Anything original Jimi Hendrix experience
Anything Cream
Blue Cheer, Vincebus Eruptus and Outside/Inside
Led Zeppelin I
Jeff Beck Band, Truth
Jethro Tull, This Was and Stand Up
Grateful Dead, Grateful Dead, Aoxomoxoa, Anthem of the Sun, Live Dead
Big Brother and the Holding Company
Procol Harum

Anything Bartok, Haydn symphonies, Beethoven Piano Concerto.

And tons of singles from Motown, the Who, the Kinks, Dave Clark Five, just about any British Invasion group, Roy Orbison, the Yardbirds, Steppenwolf, Iron Butterfly, Eric Burdon and the Animals, ...

I was in a working band in my junior and senior years of high school, so we used to listen a lot. Looking back it's hard for me to believe I was actually also on the debate team during this time -- man I wish I still had that kind of energy.

I'm bound to be really embarassed by something I've forgotten :o

[Hungryfreak]

My middle school childhood had a progression that went something like this:

Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture (not listing an album since there are many different recordings)
Holst's Planets (Same thing)
The Beatles: All of their albums (I binged them completely 6th grade to the beginning of 7th)
Cream : Disraeli Gears
Jimi Hendrix: Voodoo Child (Compilation)
Janis Joplin: 18 Essential Songs (Compilation, again. That's what my parents had, mostly)
Donovan: Donovan's Greatest Hits
The Doors: The Best Of The Doors
Frank Zappa: Freak Out! (everything else came soon after, though this is the first album of his I was really into)

Yeah, not too much, but at that time, I wasn't nearly as into music as I am now. The main part of that came somewhere in between my growing Frank Zappa fandom and the start of my interest in metal. When I look back in retrospect, though, I'll have a lot of kick ass stuff for my high school years, haha.

COOL! And you made me remember I forgot the Doors, Donovan, and Zappa (specifically the Mothers) from my list. :mad: :o

[AKALink]

Be prepared for a weird lizst. I really got away from Pop music in High school and Jr High and began lizsting to soundtracks a lot and some classical music.

Smashing Live!!!!!-New Japanese Philharmonic
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker Soundtrack- Koji Kondo
Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Hyrule Symphony-Koji Kondo
Super Mario World-Koji Konda, Sadaeo Wantanabe [sp]
Every single Starwars movie Soundtrack- John Williams
Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark-John Williams
(single) Fanfare for the Common Man-Aaron Coplan
(single) Fanfare for the Common Man-Emerson Lake and Palmer

Yeah, and it was awesome.

[AxlVanHagar]

Sweet! I like the screen writers. I had several of those, too, mostly Maurice Jarre -- Lawrence of Arabia, etc.



Mmmmm...Jarre.

Looking over your list and Hungry's made me realize I negelcted to list Led Zep 1 & 2 and The Doors debut and LA Woman albums. Couldn't get enough The Changeling back then, still can't.

[Hungryfreak]

Almost forgot Led Zeppelin, too, haha. Jimi Hendrix and them are what got me into metal (just from wanting harder and faster sounds).

[ArmsAreLoud]

Slippery When Wet was the only full album that I adored. I used to be a huge glam fan.

[Mister_Rogers69]

when i was 4, Smash and Americana by The Offspring are the albums that got me into music

In middle school I listened to a lot of emo and bands like Motion City Soundtrack. I still love MCS, I played the sh!t out of Commit this to Memory. Emo has gotten a lot worse since 2005 though

[onidragon]

Rocket to Russia-Ramones
Kiss-Alive!, Double Platinum, Destroyer
Show Tunes. Lots of Show tunes.

[Alright_Computer]

Rage Against the Machine - Battle of Los Angeles
Audioslave - self-titled
Oasis - (What's the Story) Morning Glory
Radiohead - The Bends
U2 - pretty much every album. *sigh*
Pearl Jam - Ten

Odelay's pretty much the only one I listen to regularly anymore.

[Mystlyfe77]

System of a Down - System of a Down
Mezmerize/Hypnotize - System of a Down
Ashes of the Wake - Lamb of God
The Jester Race/Black Ash Inheritance - In Flames
Valley of the Damned - Dragonforce

Follow the Reaper - Children of Bodom
Dreaming Neon Black - Nevermore

I still like most of those bands, just not as much or different in some cases.

[Lolicat]

Anything Led Zepp, and then after that, lots and lots of black metal. Darkthrone and Emperor most of all.
