1994-1998 - During this period, Grunge died (some would say it never existed) and Alternative came to power. Punk became commercially acceptable because of MTV and Warped Tour. Rap and Hip Hop, thanks, in part, to the media, became coastal and forgot about the fun and battle rhyming for supremacy. Due to bands like No Doubt, Sublime & Reel Big Fish, Ska became popular only to fade away into commercial obscurity. Metal buried its spandex pants and cans of Aqua-Net only to combine the looks of 80's old school Rap, Gangsta Rap and Grunge with downtuned, 7-string guitars and was called Nu Metal (I still cringe at that title). Pop...well Pop was still pop, ballads and all.
There were a lot of bands passing through these ears and even more singles. Here is a collection of songs and artists enjoyed during my time in high school, from orientation to graduation. Some artists still record and still make great albums while others left their scenes ages ago. A lot of these songs I still listen to today. Instead of saying I had great tastes or that I listened to better music than my peers, I'll just say I left off Reel Big Fish, Savage Garden's "I Want You" and Limp Bizkit for a reason...but now you know.
