Is there anything better than blasting Jay-Z's "Ignorant Shit" as loud as possible in your car with your windows down while driving through LA when it is 75 degrees in December?
No.
I worked till 5am last night. It sucked. The one good thing that came out of it is that my writing partner Matt and I slowly devolved into blasting the worst late 90's music louder than God ever intended. It started innocently enough with me playing Kid Rock's "Bawitaba" as a joke. It was a slippery slope.
Kid Rock begat Limp Bizkit.
Limp Bizkit begat Korn.
Korn begat P.O.D.
P.O.D. begat The Toadies.
The Toadies begat Harvey Danger.
Harvey Danger begat Powerman5000.
Powerman5000 began Static-X.
Static-X begat Disturbed.
Disturbed begat The Spin Doctors (I don't know how that happened).
The Spin Doctors begat Godsmack (also unsure how this happened).
However, there were few choice gems that revealed themselves over the night. Example 1: The words "Silverchair," and "Frogstomp" were lost from my vocabulary since the 6th grade until last night. I cried tears of joy.
Example 2:
Example 3: This song is still fucking awesome.
And of course the classic Example 4: 10th grade defined.
Example 5:Oh Drowning Pool. I wonder if when they wrote this song they intended it to be used in every action movie trailer from that day forth. After the :10 mark the video just gets fucking exponentially awesomer and awesomer.
About 3% of the music I listened to in high school is what I listen to today. Which is sad. But it still makes for good comedy. I also downloaded Boyz II Men's Greatest Hits (dope!). The best part of Boyz II Men is the one guy who comes in on every song to deliver the spoken monologue. Case in point, mark 5:54 where in this video he begins talking to a painting of his woman, imploring:
"Baby, I'm sorry. Please forgive me for all the wrong I've done. Please come back home girl. I know you put all your trust in me, I'm sorry I let you down. Please forgive me."
I'm pretty sure he talks to a painting in every Boyz II Men video while saying a monologue. Muthafuckaz can harmonize though. Word!

The only bad thing about your post is that when I clicked through to leave this comment the Space Hog song stopped playing. FUCK. Dude, that Toadies song ruled though. Still one of my all time favorite songs. Next time "Favorite 80's songs that got famous from the movie they were in" First entry, "She's like the wind" by Patrick Swayze.
this is an interesting exercise. i bet if i posted youtube links to one-song summations of my years in high school, they would be SOOO different from your links (i was more of a hippy one-world-one-love kid myself), even though we were in high school for the same years. do you think you would have been friends with the same ppl (part of the same "clique" if you will) if you went back to high school with your personality from now? i know, i know, a lot to extrapolate from musical taste alone :)
also, that space hog song still makes me happy.
