Default Music from your high school years
Which album (cd) makes you think of you high school years the most?
My son just bought us tickets to see Styx (the only band I ever saw in concert as a teenager) and Boston.
Made me start thinking about the music from way back when.
Although Styx is my favorite, one album really sticks in my mind and I remember almost every word from every song, Meatloaf's "Bat Out of Hell"
Boy does that bring back some memories!

Kansas, Boston, Styx, Journey, Molly Hatchett, Outlaws, Skynyrd, etc.

Then, I discovered Elvis Costello and the Clash, and it all changed.

Gawd you guys are making me feel old.

From my senior year in High School ( 1967-1968) it would have to be either Magical Mystery Tour by the Beatles or the Soundtrack to the Graduate by Simon and Garfunkel.

On the horizon: Janis, The Airplane, Cream....and on and on.

Whew...memories.

Oh, yeah. Rocky Horror. Finally got to see that my senior year. Very cool!
We almost went to see it at some local theater this past winter but for some reason we couldn't go.
