Ok, I'm rite now goin thru a period where I am hunting down old school songs. More specificially songs from the 80's - early 90's. But, unfortunatley I have a really bad memory as to what songs there were. Oh, sure there are lots of sights with the 1 hit wonders and the classics. But, I also want the songs that wern't hits but were still obnoxiously cool
So, anyone remember?

Early 90's?
"Old School"?

Pet shop boys? Early Smashmouth? Barenaked ladies? The verve or walflowers?Alanis Morrisete? Ben lee? Blue Boy? Culture Beat or the Cure? "Cows with guns"? Eiffel 65?

How old school are we talking here?

Are we talking like Bach?

Or like Zeppelin?

Communists are comming
Communists are comming
Hide under your desk
For communists are comming

AHhhhhhhhhhhh nukes
Damn you USSR
We are all screwed
All of this because communists are comming to town.

Maybe that was a 1950ish song :rolleyes:

I'm old, too... lol not too old, though. I love 90s music, but it certainly isnt old school.

More specificially songs from the 80's - early 90's.

I think we're taking the police, garbage, the smiths, they might be giants, etc.

*slaps forehead*

Way to read.


How about: How soon is Now (Smiths), Once in a Lifetime (Talking heads), Basket Case (Green Day), Under the Bridge (Red Hot Chili Peppers)

I have a pile of those random songs that everyone has heard I just don't know when they were all written...

The Boys Are Back In Town -- Thin Lizzy
The original BandAid (although that wasn't really "cool" by itself, but it "made history" and all that...)

Etc. etc., lol, could think of loads more but now I ought to depart for sleep. Ciao.

i assume everyone left

That's what I thought too. I had all the awful lyrics ready!

"On the hilltop shining bright,
Ave Maris Stella"

And the awful new one that my school in Sydney implemented. Somehow a supposedly secular public school has the line "To honour God, and self and school" in its school song...

There,I made a post about school songs anyway! :p

Basket case was primarily there because I remember it from whern it first came out and it got played at school dances back when no one gave a damn whether you could actually dance to the song or not.

im a teacher and let me tell you they still cant dance at school dances. i dont know, i went to a catholic school, a really really strict one, so we barely had dances and when we did we didnt have any good music it was all christian rock...

i must say when you mentioned the smiths i grinned, cause noone seems to remember them even though theyre my favorite... im still obsessed with moz.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

look, get some beatles, lovin' spoonful, troggs, 5th Dimension.

that's old school.


as far as i'm concerned, anything made after Simon and Garfunkel broke up is crap, and a good deal immediately before then, too.

This thread makes me cry. And now I have "Longview" stuck in my head.

my advice to you is to get some of the old Billboard Top Rock'n'Roll hits CDs from the local music store.

i reccomend '66 and '67

that has a pretty good spread on what you should be listening to.

80's and 90's, eh? Heh, like everyone else is saying, that ain't old school :p

Doesn't mean it doesn't rock though.

Dead Kennedys - Holiday in Cambodia
Soundgarden - Black Hole Sun
Rage Against the Machine - Killing in the Name
Mudhoney - Touch Me I'm Sick
Offspring - Self Esteem (don't touch anything after this album :p)
Radiohead - Creep
R.E.M - Losing My Religion

...need I mention Nirvana?

Those are some "classics". Not necessarily the best by those bands, but you have probably heard a few if not most of them before.

Geez, ppl with all your mocking and such. You are just all lucky I'm not an actual crazed despot of a nation or there would be much blowing up of stuff and such. Yes, I am well aware that 80's and 90's isn't totally old school. But, well saying old school gave my thread street creed yo. Plus, well I forgot that "retro" would have described it better. There U happy now?? Better be or else there will be a reckoning or yes, yes there will be.

happy in your choice of music?

no.

:p

www.gregoryandrus.com/music

download JohnnyBGoode. (it's the beach boys version, not the best one out there, but the only one i have uploaded)

the other three are some John Williams soundtracks.

(i uploaded the four to use as background music for my website. i haven't gotten around to using them yet, tho)

U2, I'm so into U2 right now, I forget how old they were (I was 2 in 1990, here)

Spice Girls
Hanson
(not that I liked either of them, mind)

uh...

Weird Al? XD

Micheal Jackson
The Police
Sting
Santana
Ricky Martin
N'Sync
Backstreet Boys

erm...

gosh...

I'll think of more later

Just pop up in your P2P client and search for the following band names:

Jane's Addiction
Butthole Surfers
Dead Kennedys
Sprawl
Descendants
Sonic Youth
Skinny Puppy
Dead Horse
Nirvana
Mudhoney
They Might Be Giants
Erasure
Ween
Dead Can Dance
Robyn Hitchcock
Beck
Dead Milkmen
Weezer
Social Distortion

That should get you plenty of stuff.

U2's first album, Boy, came out in 1980. :)

Still goin' strong today. They're the Beatles of my generation.

80's and 90's aren't old school yet. Give it time. Meanwhile, I think a Gregorian Chant is about as old school as you're going to get. Try some St. Ambrose stuff. There's probably older, but you won't find it. His rep was good enough that people preserved his music even back then.

Just get stuff by Rush. Buy, don't download (You damn thieves, I hope you all get arrested and thrown in jail. You deserve it. I'm serious.) 2112 and work your way from there. You'll never need anything else.

i am so sick of the overuse of that phrase. :rolleyes:

Mostly I remember alot of crappy techno...I hope that stuff isn't making a comeback anytime soon. *shudder*

Ace of base- All that she wants
2unlimited- No limits (i think it was called)
The soundtrack from "Judgement Night" proved that you could really do worse things with hardcore/hiphop than anyone had imagined.
Prodigy-Out of Space
Bodycount-Copkiller
Björk-Violently Happy
Paperclip people- Throw
jamiroqui-Emergency on planet earth
Transglobal Underground- Lookee Here (or any of the 10000000 remixes that were made of that song)
Sagat- Luvstuff
Any song with a title that has alot of brackets in it and the words "mix", "massive", "dub" or "remix" somewhere in it was probably played in the clubs in the early 90's. Example: "Crappysong (Crappyhappymegamassmix) (remix dub)".

Anything with Slaughter, Poison, Quireboys or Iron Maiden would take you back to the 90's too.



I could go on but I don't think it would be healthy

Damn! I like the taste here!! Better add some Bad Religion and Sublime to finish it off - Maybe a little Millencolin and Teen Idols just to round the punk list out a little bit :)

Don't forget The Damned and the Misfits!

I was a bicentennial graduate. Followed rock, metal, punk, and watched alternative and grunge being born, and watched disco die (Thank God....). When I was in school, I liked Talking Heads - Take Me To The River, Roxy Music - Love Is The Drug, Sweet - Action, and 10cc - The Wall Street Shuffle, and just about anything by The Eagles.

Did I mention I hated disco?

Don't forget The Damned and the Misfits!
Oh no kidding!! Man there are soooo many! No Use For A Name, NOFX, Boucing Souls, Mad Caddies, Pennywise... I could go on forever!!!

The 90's did have a lot of good music!! Woo!

Yeah, I guess so. It's just that the popular stuff was a serious downgrade in quality compared to the popular music in the 80's.

Simply not a long enough list. First you forgot La Villa Strangiato and that is arguably their best song period. I'd list more songs, but I'd have to go through 2/3 of the songs they've written.

No, he must buy all the albums. Then he must buy all the live albums so that he can hear 5 different versions of Tom Sawyer in all its glory.

Speaking of buying Rush albums, I just got Different Stages in the mail today. I love the (full!) version of 2112 on it! I'm listening to the second disc now - I haven't even gotten to the third one. I'm not sure whether I like this or Rush in Rio more. Rush in Rio certainly has the charm of a live concert that these songs aren't capturing very often. On the bright side I can actually hear the bass on more then 40% of the songs.

90's is not old school.

I recomend Lotti's Crifixus for old school. (emphasis on old. We're talking pre-baroque I belive)

Yeah, well if you want to count the time when artists sold out and got instruments to accompany their singings, fine. That's pretty old school. I say they should have stopped at the organ. Orchestras were the MTV pop divas of the day. Give me a gregorian chant any day!

I agree, just worried I couldn't spell Strangiato.

We could also add...

A Farewell to Kings
Xanadu
Closer to the Heart
Cygnus X-1
Subdivisions
Anthem
Fly By Night
Beneath, Between and Behind
What You're Doing
The Twilight Zone

And I am sure I am missing many, many more...

Yes, just buy all their Albums and listen to them completely through!

:D :D :D

Ahhh, the good ole days!

Crucifixus is an early madrigals. No orchestra, no organ, no nothing. This was written when it was still males singing soprano. Many of the melodies in it are also very gregorean-esque.

So, anyone remember?
Fight fiercely, Harvard, fight, fight, fight!
Demonstrate to them our skill.
Albeit they possess the might,
Nonetheless we have the will.

How we will celebrate our victory,
We shall invite the whole team up for tea. (How jolly!)
Hurl that spheroid down the field,
And fight, fight, fight!

Fight fiercely, Harvard, fight, fight, fight!
Impress them with our prowess, do!
Oh, fellas, do not let the crimson down,
Be of stout heart and true.

Come on, chaps, fight for Harvard's glorious name!
Won't it be peachy if we win the game? (Oh, goody!)
Let's try not to injure them,
But fight, fight, fight!
Let's not be rough, though!
Fight, fight, fight!
And do fight fiercely!
Fight, fight, fight!
