Grad Music

Post by Random Name »

I'm graduating this year and I want to make a CD to burn all my friends a CD filled with not only graduation songs but with songs from each year we have been in school. Does anyone have any suggestions for either it would be very much appriciated.

I already know some of the stereotypical grad songs like time of your life and the graduation song from vitamin C but after that handful it gets difficult.

As for the other songs, I need around 3 good popular songs from each year from say 1990 on. Its soooo hard to come up with songs that everyone has heard of and loves when people I know listen to so many different types of music. Going back to the days of NKOTB and Nirvana is great cause no one had a distinct music taste then but recent years are much more difficult.

Ideas?

Goodbye you liar,
Well you sipped from the cup but you don't own up to anything
Then you think you will inspire
Take apart your head
(and I wish I could inspire)
Take apart your demons, then you add it to the list.

I'd say

Rock and Roll McDonald's - Wesley Willis

Oh but that's probably too old
