High School Rocking – 1991-1992
Cause I’m passing time and can’t seem to sleep, I’ve decided to post some tunes that I listened to in High School. I’m going to make this a little project, so I’m starting with my Freshman Year, 1991-1992.
Guns N Roses – November Rain – 1991
Probably the pinnacle of what GNR was. Musically this song is superb. Big strings, big guitar and powerful lyrics… And Stephanie Seymore is hot!
Nirvana – Smells Like Teen Spirit – 1991
Ushered in the grunge era. There was probably no greater song writer in the 90′s than Kurt Cobain. He is missed.
Pearl Jam – Jeremy – 1991
Great song all around…
R.E.M. – Losing My Religion – 1991
A wonderfully written song. Really I think this may have been the song that really introduced me to R.E.M. It was really cool to hear a mandolin as a primary instrument.
Metallica – Enter Sandman – 1991
Though I had been a Metallica fan for a number of years prior to this, Enter Sandman is the song that really brought them to the mainstream. It was something simplistic but powerful.
Eric Clapton – Tears In Heaven – 1992
This song was loving written for Clapton’s son who tragically died. This song is the one that made me want to learn to finger pick. The ladies loved this tune, and it was one I learned for a girlfriend.
Red Hot Chili Peppers – Under The Bridge – 1992
One of my absolute favorite songs by this band. The guitar work is wicked cool. I also recently rocked the vocals on this in Rock Band. 
Pantera – This Love – 1992
A love song for us headbangers. 
This was the slow song at parties.
Rage Against the Machine – Killing In the Name – 1992
Ok… So I was getting angry toward the end of my freshman year. This is the song that introduced me to the unique guitar stylings of Tom Morello and made me want to get a Whammy.
Lemmonheads – Mrs. Robinson – 1992
I include this because I remember getting caught by my girlfriends dad getting to second base while this song was on. That was back when I could run fast.
Sophmore year up next!!
God I miss music video’s…. At least TRL is dead, now if only MTV would get back to its roots. thanks for the walk down memory lane.
