I don't know yet. Next year is my senior year.

How old do you guys feel now?

karman

Really, Really Old.
My class song is so obscure that I can't find any reference to it at all on the internet.
The band that recorded it even had a top 10 hit once (not the song and not #1).
Senior year?
Try Senior Citizen.

Yeah, but everyone loves nostalgia, except I sort of gagged when I saw the music from 1990. I still hate so much of that. So many songs I remember not liking that much in the first place, but the radio stations where I lived just played stuff into the ground, so if you were on the fence before, you grew to hate some songs intensely. Not that it really takes that much to get there with Vanilla Ice or New Kids...

c/o 2007's music was pretty sucky, at least what our HS listened to

Im glad someone said the artist of that graduation song, it woulda been in my head forever

1981 Journey, Brian Adams, ELO, Gap Band, Styx, Foreigner I still have these on a Cassette, but now can get them on cd and I-tunes! I may be old , but drive like a young un.

1979 for me. Every time I hear Sultans of Swing it reminds me of being on one of the school roofs taking some pictures for my photography class. Had a radio and I loved that song.

Styx, Foreigner, ELO, Billy Joel, John Cougar, Heart, The Cars, Journey, Fleetwood Mac, Stevie Nicks, Pat Benatar, Men at Work, J. Geils REO Speedwagon, Def Leppard... Saw them all in concert way back then and many more. Funny thing is 25+ years later some are still touring!

Going to see Billy Joel in May at Mohegan Sun (casino in CT for those out of the area). Also saw him in 1980 (or was it 1981) in Providence.

So your Responsible for bringing this thread back from the dead! LOL

I too am Class of 78. I have always been a classic rocker so my 8-track had Aerosmith, AC/DC,Zepplin, Van Halen and Springsteen for starters!

We did have some bad groups too! Like Bootsy's Rubber Band and Boney M. Barry Manilow anyone

08GTCandyApple

Class of 83 and still listening to most of the stuff I listened to back then.........Rush, AC/DC, Zepplin, Boston, Bad Co, Skynyrd, Aerosmith,The Boss, Cheap Trick, Meatloaf, Queen, Van Halen........I could go on, so I'll just stop there

karman

I've got stop reading this thread. It is making me feel even older now.
Aerosmith played at my high school.
I saw Rush in their first US tour in a rundown local movie theater.
I saw The Cars when they first started.
I was seated at a table in a Boston bar next to the keyboards (old enough to drink).

denlem

I hope the cars were better in the bar than an arena.. When I saw them at the Providence Civic Center they played for 50 minutes with no opening act.

karman

They played all night with a couple of breaks. (@9pm to after midnight)
They weren't well known enough to get away with 50min. back then.

Lennyb44

Well, I don't feel so old now.

Stevie Nicks... I used to sit up for hours just to catch her videos on MTV... Now we hope she can spin without breaking her hip... LOL!


I believe she was the only person in the world who refused to lip synch on Solid Gold! She used her own vocals! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PvaGAnibq8Y


Anyway, back in 1981 I was driving my white Cobra II and listening to Bella Donna on 8-track playing Edge Of Seventeen. I am doing the same thing now except it's a new white Mustang with a new version on CD of Stevie Nicks singing Edge of Seventeen she recorded with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra during a live show in Australia not too long ago complete with Waddy Wachtel on hand doing his classic guitar riffs.



Anyway, at 60 she can still do a hell of a twirl which is in the middle of this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5iRNZ_DPSFU

Ok, now we have the music memorabilia, what about adding our favorite posters? Do kids do that anymore? Mine don't.
Back in high school I had the "infamous" Farah Fawcett" swimsuit poster hanging in my room for years! What about you all?


Sorry for tangent , not to hijack....its memories???

1 COBRA

Goodness, it's incredible but I still remember:
Bridge over troubled waters, With a little help from my friends, Presence of the lord

watchdevil

Oh yeah I had the Farrah Fawcett poster AND a 1976 Cobra II like the one she drove on the show....

Then Farrah left the show. I was upset and put up a Cheryl Ladd poster up in it's place...

However it wasn't long after that when MTV gave pioneered video music and I got my first ever glimpse of Stevie Nicks actually performing and I have been spellbound my whole life since! LOL!

Glenn

My daughter had the rock poster up in her room for the longest time.

Scothew
