Favorite Songs From High School

By: Bill McAllister

I stole this topic idea from our very own Dan "never a dull moment" Leach...#DTM was heading to DTE Energy Music Theater to see Run-DMC and he remarked that the music from the rap group from Hollis, Queens reminds him of his high school years. Not sure which song was his favorite (I would go with King Of Rock) but it got me thinking about what song most reminded me of my high school years. After much consideration, I could NOT narrow it down to only one. So here goes...

1 - Van Halen - Beautiful Girls...takes me back to the summer between my sophomore and junior years. Seemed like every other car had this song blasting.
2 - Queen/David Bowie - Under Pressure...it's such an anthemic song. Love it!
3 - The Police - Don't Stand So Close To Me...the first song of the new wave era that I liked and got me listening to other bands that weren't "mainstream".

So, for various reasons, these songs remind me of my high school years. What are your favorite songs that remind you of your teen years?
