Kinda inspired by Seedy's NWA/PE poll.
It's your senior year in high school or non-U.S. equivalent (i.e. you're ca. 18). What's the music score?
For me, it was 1994 and the most played music at our parties was:
Metallica (Black album and earlier)
Guns'n'Roses
Nirvana
Faith No More's Angel Dust
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Clawfinger
Body Count
Alice in Chains
GWAR
Me and my friends didn't really dig the Eurodance stuff that was dominating the charts back then. :blush:
Stairway to Heaven
Freebird
I'm serious.

Eurodance :yuk:
Not digging it is nothing to be ashamed of ;)
More or the less the same since I graduated around the same period (one year later).
Add
Weird Yankovic (specially for Smells like Nirvana).
Some Slayer and Megadeth

Weird Yankovic (specially for Smells like Nirvana).
Good point, still my favorite album by him.
Most of my year left at the end of school, aged 16, so 1980; only a minority went on to further education till 18 and still fewer to higher education to gain undergraduate degrees etc
So 'school disco's' included a lot of pop like Abba ( :blush: - :Wub: ) , though I recall at the time Pink Floyd's 'Another Brick in the Wall' seemed to be a bit of an anthem. The background to this was school children at my school staged a strike, which garnered a bit on national attention.
I don't recall. High school was not a good time for me, and so I mostly try to put it behind me.. :hmm:
I believe it was Nirvana's Nevermind and Pearl Jam's Ten. And some Norwegian rock bands.
I remember helping set up the speakers at my senior party, but after that the alcohol started to be served and what happened gets hazy real quick.
Rihanna, Eminem, Lady Gaga and Drake :whistle:
18? 2002. I have no idea what was good in the early 00's.
I remember Tom Chochrane Life is a Highway being played over, and over, and over again...
Never went. I was busy getting laid.
never went, i was too busy not getting laid :)
1812 Overture.
I recall hearing:
Stairway to Heaven
Comfortably Numb
In Your Eyes
The Chickendance
Love Shack
La Bamba
at my Senior Prom.

GWAR
Yesssss. The dude I got acid from in high school was always watching GWAR videos when we went over there. Crazy shit, man.
Anyhow, the music at our parties was...well...mid-late 90's stuff. Radiohead, Chili Peppers, Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Offspring, Sublime, Green Day, Metallica, Bush, Nine Inch Nails. Things like that.
This reminds me: I've noticed the rock station here has started playing Bush again for some reason.
We don't have anything equivalent to high school senior parties.
Well, you would first need to have parties.

Well, we didn't have any school parties, but birthdays, barbecues, and other parties at friends' places.
We didn't have that sort of party; but we did have "record socials" in the 6th form common room (actually a separate building of substantial size). Girls used to come from our sister school, in summer there were Scandinavian girls from the language schools :perv:
....er, where was I?
ah, the music.....
Jethro Tull
Led Zeppelin
Yes
Pink Floyd
King Crimson
........and others of that ilk.
I had to look up what was hot in '86, so these aren't necessarily what was playing as I left school or what I liked, just what I remember hearing a lot of.
Addicted To Love - Robert Palmer
West End Girls - Pet Shop Boys
Alive and Kicking - Simple Minds
Kiss - Prince
Sledgehammer - Peter Gabriel
You Give Love A bad Name - Bon Jovi
Why Can't This Be Love - Van Halen
I was actually listening to Echo and the Bunnymen, The Smiths and New Order.
92
Metallica's Black Album
Chili Peppers' Blood Sugar Sex Magik
Cranberries' Zombie was played a lot
REM - whatever it was called
Nirvana's Nevermind
Keeping it to contemporary stuff that I liked then- British Sea Power, Franz Ferdinand, Fiery Furnaces, White Stripes, The Coral, etc....
So...pretty much what I like now with a bit of alteration. Ah music was so good back in the mid noughties, where did it go wrong.
Damn, that was a long time ago. I forget the music. The class song was "Aquarius"; that's how far back, in the 70s.
1870s ;)
My senior year in high school (1989-1990) was the golden age of hair metal and the power pop ballad. I remember hearing:
Motley Crue
Poison
Warrant
Skid Roe
Sammy Hagar era Van Halen
Even Guns n Roses got in on the act and followed up the truly badass "Appetite for Destruction" with the truly not-so-badass "Lies." Plus the pop charts were dominated by Milli Vanilli, The New Kids on the Block and Billy Joel had the wretched "We Didn't Start the Fire."
There were some good albums, Depeche Mode's "Violator," the Cure's "Disintegration" and Janet Jackson's "Rhythm Nation 1814" were all pretty big; but for the most part it's an era best forgotten.
