I live fairly close to a local public high school. Unfortunately, this means I usually hear a lot of horrible, teenager/parent friendly radio hits from my house on football game nights. Tonight, they played a song I remembered from my younger days, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nl3vGClF_hA, hearing it took me back. I don't mind hearing a song or two from a different era during particular stressful times.

So to anyone interested, let's have some fun with it. Post some music that was popular when you were in high school that you actually liked, or make fun of songs you hated. Post the stuff you got into that wasn't so popular. I know it was in high school that I first discovered underground hip-hop and indie rock.

Name your era (four year period) and tell me about what was going on with you and/or young people as far as music went.
