Song From High School that Instantly takes you back.

This song always does it for me. It's pretty hard to be bummed out after listening to this song.

 

What's amazing about it this video is that's a live performance including audio. And Sammy sounds like studio quality.  in fact, they all do

Didn't come out quite in my era of schooling.  But Pantera "walk".   I generally hungout with older schoolmates when I was young.  My neighbor was 5 years older and would take me to go play various sports with his friends.   This was a bit of an anthem.  

Eminem's early stuff.  I grew up in a small town that didn't have a ton.  Everyone loved Em when he came out.  

Korn and Limp Biscuit in the TRL days.  TRL in its early stages really brings back memories.  

I know the above 2 aren't songs but I don't have many distinct songs that I would offer to this topic.  Music was much different in my era.  (Crappier generally).  The art of getting it was different.   The whole vibe im sure was much different towards music.

I was in 8th grade when Ozzy's Crazy Train came out. That one still holds up 40+ years later. 

As far as high school, everything from the 80's was fantastic...too many songs/albums to choose from.

Yes 90125

Def Leppard Pyromania

Scorpions Love at First Sting

Peter Gabriel So

Prince Purple Rain

Just to name a few albums

And Van Halen 5150 was a great album through out - not just Dreams.

I'd have to do the math to compare our ages (suspecting I'm older, 56), but Yes 90215 is on my Mount Rushmore of disappointing albums.  Styx Mr. Roboto is also on it.  I loved the earlier stuff from both bands, and these were just... eesh.    I'd have to think of the others.  Sounds like a good spinoff topic.

I'm 55. I think 90125 is solid. It's not Starship Trooper or I've Seen All Good People but to each their own. I agree about Mr. Roboto but I still like to hear it once in a while. Maybe add Jefferson Starship We Built This City to your Mt. Rushmore.

Remember when Master of Puppets came out. Was hanging out in our schools smoking area... Pretty sure those don't exist anywhere nowadays. Anyway our buddy, a couple years older than us and graduated pulls up with the new Metallica cassette tape blasting in his 1977 Monte Carlo. That probably takes me back the most.

Pre highschool, 5th/6th grade (80-81) so many great albums came out, back in black, the wall, ozzy's first 2 albums, ace of spades, heaven and hell, women and children first, iron maiden, moving pictures.. The list goes on...

This song means a lot to me.

This song reminds me of senior trip down to Virginia Beach.  Not a fan but the girls liked it.

 First day of middle school at John Quincy Adams. I was that was the new fish in the pond. And knew it immediately. Seventeen year olds in ninth grade? This is when segregation re Kicked in. It was insane. So I’m walking to the stairs of the gymnasium and look over at the graffiti on the wall.it was a stoner portrait in black ink, with smoke rising, and Doobie Brothers title.  I didn’t know who they were. Years go by, and I hear Casey Cassum say, “An oldy but goody”

 

Good times

In college I took an Advertising class and the professor was a super successful but well retired man in his early 80’s.  He explained how studies showed that songs were used because the effect they had on men. Studies had showed some songs could immediately take a man’s mind back to a certain happy time in his life which they could attach the product to as well. 
 

For me very true

Every Breath You Take -Summer before HS

In the Air Tonight - Football

Open Arms or Faithfully was every ending slow dance through thigh school dances  

Don’t Dream it’s Over - Senior Year

Never Say Goodbye - Prom

I Wanna Go Back -Grad Night
