Playlist from Senior Year of High School

I thought it would be fun to post what a typical playlist would’ve been in my senior year of high school. Keep in mind, I was young and just acquiring my taste in music.

  1. Tucker’s Town – Hootie & the Blowfish
  2. 1979 – Smashing Pumpkins (Reminds me of driving around with my buddies Paul, Zach, and Erik)
  3. Wonderwall – Oasis
  4. Run Around – Blues Traveler
  5. Teenage Politics – MxPx (Christian musicians who weren’t lame- what a concept)
  6. What Would You Say? – Dave Matthews Band
  7. Big Me – Foo Fighters (Loved the video)
  8. What If I Stumble? – DC Talk
  9. Gangsta’s Paradise- Coolio (Not to be confused with Amish Paradise by Weird Al)
  10. Buddy Holly – Weezer
  11. What’s the Frequency, Kenneth? – REM
  12. Comedown – Bush
  13. Breakfast at Tiffany’s – Deep Blue Something (I discovered this song before it ever was a hit)
  14. When I Come Around- Green Day
  15. Selling the Drama – Live
  16. The World I Know – Collective Soul (People thought they were a Pearl Jam knock off. They proved they were better).
  17. All About Soul – Billy Joel
  18. Interstate Love Song – Stone Temple Pilots
  19. All I Want – Toad the Wet Sprocket
  20. Where It’s At? – Beck (I loved how experimental Beck was/is with his music)
  21. Hey Man, Nice Shot – Filter
  22. California Love – Tupac / Dr. Dre (Yes, I know. I’m a white boy in SoDak.)
  23. Don’t Speak – No Doubt
  24. Creep – Radiohead
  25. Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds – The Beatles (Class Song- that should tell you something)
  26. 6th Avenue Heartache – The Wallflowers
  27. The Change – Garth Brooks
  28. Popular – Nada Surf (I didn’t say they were all good songs)
  29. Who Will Save Your Soul – Jewel
  30. I’ll Be There For You – The Rembrandt’s (C’mon, “Friends” was in it’s prime)

    Ha ha…those are great.

    Here’s a few we would have had in common from that list:
    Wonderwall
    Run Around
    What If I stumble
    The World I Know
    Creep
    I’ll Be There For You (yeah, I was a big Friends fan too!)

    Good memories. Sometimes I listen to some of those songs and it takes me back 15 years.

    question – collective soul proved to better? than what? pearl jam?

    c’mon dawg. i hope you mean that they were better than a pearl jam knock off band.

    collective soul = ok
    pearl jam = amazing

    You read it right. The body of work of Collective Soul is better than Pearl Jam. IMO. There, I said it.

    Eric- I could have added so much more. Rage could have easily made the list.
