I've been having a great deal of fun listening to music from high school these past couple days. Anything to avoid the radio, where there is always the possibility that Santa Baby sneaks on... But seriously, good times. There was some good music. Ahh, nostalgia. (Well, if less than 10 years ago can be considered nostalgia.) Class of 1998, remember these...?

The Verve Pipe -- The Freshman
Oasis -- Wonderwall
Smashing Pumpkins -- Tonight, Tonight
Goo Goo Dolls -- Name
Soul Asylum -- Runaway Train
Beck -- Where It's At
The Verve -- Bittersweet Symphony
Radiohead -- Paranoid Android
Shawn Mullins -- Rockabye
Collective Soul -- The World I Know
Tonic -- If You Could Only See
Candlebox -- Far Behind
Counting Crows -- Mr Jones
Blues Traveler -- (I forget the song, you know the one)

And the song that started all the reminiscing...
Ben Folds Five -- Brick

There are actually many many more. I have an iTunes playlist that's forever long. But I'm at work, and that's all I have time for.

I'm not quite sure why I'm remembering high school so fondly though. I hated high school. I don't understand the people who loved high school, and think back and sigh and wish they could relive those days. High school sucked (but the music was OK). College was so much better (but the music... not quite as good).

To anyone in the Class of 1998, if you think of a good one, let me know. I've got 11 more days of avoiding Santa Baby.
