Worst High School Graduation Year Music

[morpheus]

This question came up in the ShoutBox... which of these lists is the worst?

[Tinker to Evers to Chance]

My list has two Alanis Morissette songs, two Hootie and the Blowfish songs, AND "The Macarena" not once, but TWICE.  It's clearly the worst.

Morph's list has Bell Biv Devoe.  That alone keeps it out of the worst spot.

1998 wins for Time of Your Life (Good Riddance) by Green Day.

[Yeti]

THE REASON KICKS ASS

[Tinker to Evers to Chance]

NEVER FORGET!

[morpheus]

Allow me to retort.

[Yeti]

NEVER FORGET!

I just danced my ass off.. And there's a lot to dance off.

[SKO]

NEVER FORGET! Wait, what were we doing?

[J. Walter Weatherman]

1998 wins for Time of Your Life (Good Riddance) by Green Day.

I refuse to hate Green Day. That song may well have murdered an orphan or two in its day, but I'm not hating Green Day.

Anyways, it's not on the list.

This song is, though: 10. I Don't Want to Wait, Paula Cole

Then there's all sorts of crazy songs I've never heard of by performers I never knew existed:

1. Too Close, Next
24. Body Bumpin Yippie-Yi-Yo, Public Announcement
26. I Don't Ever Want to See You Again, Uncle Sam
36. Deja Vu (Uptown Baby), Lord Tariq and Peter Gunz
94. Butta Love, Next

Lsg, Voices Of Theory, Sylk-E Fyne, K.P. and Envyi, Xscape, Lox, Inoj... Who the fuck are these people?

I definitely know the Deja Vu song and I'm pretty sure you would too if you heard it. The rest? Who the fuck knows. I was too busy listening to Wu-Tang.

[PANK!]

Allow me to retort.

Jebus that song actually reminds me of the Fall of 1990, when I was a freshman in college.  The girl who lived next door to me was in a very dramatic on again/off again relationship with this big meatball roid-head on the other end of the floor who had a girlfirend that lived in the other tower.  And whenever their relationship would hit the skids (which happened...oh, about once a week), she would storm back to her room, slam her door shut, and proceed to blast this album.  Like I said, I lived next door to her, the dorms rooms at Northern (Grant Towers) were the size of broom closets, so yeah..it was actually pretty traumatic for me.   Thanks, morph.  Thanks a lot.
