5. "Blinded By Science" by Thomas Dolby

What the heck ever happened to him?

Also "Sweet Dreams Are Made Of This" by the Eurhythmics.

[carpetbagger]

9. My thoughts exactly. Also "Electric Avenue"

Next to "Iron Man", that was the greatest thing to grace Friday Night Videos.

As to Thomas Dolby, he's got a website thomasdolby.com, which shows that he's still trying for that follow-up hit. As to what he's doing, I have no clue. He still makes albums, but the "gaps in his discography/employment history" make me wonder if he hasn't gotten into one or more of the following at some point: rehab, temproary religious phase, gym coach, acting.

10. thomas dolby invented a compression format for music

so cell phones can have alerts and alarms that play actual music clips. I don't know if he makes actual music anymore though.

6. AC/DC "Back In Black."

Fastway "Say What You Will"
Billy Squire "The Stroke"
Def Leppard "On Through The Night"

8. "Everybody Wants to Rule the World", by Tears for Fears

Anything from the Beastie Boys' Licensed to Ill.
Anything by Whodini.
"Summer of '69", by Bryan Adams.

There are others that also, but not mainly, make me think about junior high.

Martin

[BigMcLargehuge]

11. anything by Journey, Billy Squire, or Rush (from the 2112 album)

and I can't stand any of the music of those artists. I hated junior high school. It was the worst three years of my life. Even hearing that music now makes me unhappy.

[FDRrocks]

12. Dead Kennedys!

I strutted into my first day of high school with a DK patch on my bookbag. I was, since then, dubbed a title named after the junior who was the only other person who liked DK in the school. :(

Thank god for Jello Biafra. To me, he is the epitome of integrity.

My defining songs would be:

DK - Holiday in Cambodia
Mxpx - Teenage Politics
Five Iron Frenzy - Most Likely to Suceed (political)

edit: Man With The Dogs rocks! Give me Liberty.... is one of the best overall albums ever compiled!

[Melsky]

13. Tenderness by the English Beat

There's a lot of music I remember, but that is the only song that really makes me remember high school surprisingly strongly.

[ButterflyBlood]

14. the anthems of my high school era:

indian summer - angry son
you and i - tell me about your childhood
saetia - venus and bacchus
orchid - epilogue of a car crash
converge - the saddest day
dillinger escape plan - 43% burnt
the get up kids - action and action

the anthems of the hardcore generation and livejournal revolution to boot...

[SmileyBoy]

(Reminding me of Junior High)

"Sister" - Nixons
"Black" - Pearl Jam
"Cumbersome" - Seven Mary Three
"Plush" - STP
"Interstate Love Song" - STP

etc. etc. etc.
