Rock n Roll High School

A couple of weeks ago I got an invitation to my ten year high school reunion…terrifying, I know. While my high school days were really fun, the idea of going to a ten year reunion is pretty daunting. Seriously, has ten years really past since I walked out of those school gates?!

Anyways, when I got the invitation, I started reminiscing about high school – mostly about my friends and our shenanigans but also about the music I used to listen to. I hear some songs now and I’m instantly transported back to the year nine common room or the quad outside the canteen.

So here is a list of songs that remind me of the old high school days:

·         My Poor Brain – Foo Fighters

·         Popular – Nada Surf

·         Apple Shampoo – Blink 182

·         Bleed American – Jimmy Eat World

·         Eulogy – Tool

·         Self Esteem – The Offspring

·         The Grouch – Green Day

·         Heroin Girl – Everclear

·         Leaving Home – Jebediah

·         Pinball Les – Custard

·         Chop Suey – System of a Down

·         Blue Monday – Orgy

·         Got the Life - Korn

·         Disco 2000 – Pulp

·         Intergalactic – Beastie Boys

·         Song for the Dumped – Ben Folds Five

·         Take a Picture - Filter

·         Ship of Beers - Frenzal Rhomb

·         She’s Got the Look - Guttermouth

·         Pretend We’re Dead – L7

·         Bound for the Floor – Local H

·         Fox – Millencolin

·         Punk Rock Song – Bad Religion

·         Shake Hands with Beef – Primus

·         I Make Hamburgers – The Whitlams

·         Just Ace – Grinspoon

·         The Impression That I Get – The Mighty Mighty Bosstones

·         Celebrity Skin – Hole

·         The Rockafeller Skank – Fat Boy Slim

·         Glycerine – Bush

·         1979 – Smashing Pumpkins

Some are a bit embarrassing (Korn…god), but to be honest, I still have most of these songs on my iPod today.
