High School: 1984 - 1988 Favorite Bands: The Police (duh!) U2 (actually camped out for Joshua Tree Tour tickets ) Rush (worshipped Neil Peart) Red Hot Chili Peppers (my early introduction to The Funk) The Cult (Love and Electric = pure genius) REM (liked them before anyone else knew who they were)
1985-1989 Butthole Surfers Skinny Puppy Dead Kennedys The Cure Joy Division/New Order Revolting Cocks/Ministry Severed Heads DEVO Talking Heads Siouxsie and the Banshees Black Flag Big Boys The Dicks Scratch Acid Clan of Xymox Depeche Mode Nitzer Ebb Front 242 Agent Orange The Faction edit: How the hell did I forget RAP????!!!! (Oh yeah...because it sucks so bad now...) Beastie Boys Run DMC BDP NWA/Eazy E EPMD Eric B and Rakim Geto Boys Sugarhill Gang Grandmaster Flash
Rush <- not so much today... i still think they're good, but I don't necessarily fall for the "better than 99% of any other band today" argument anymore Van Halen <- obviously they've done a lot to taint their image, much like the Star Wars franchise... but I still like them Counting Crows <- more poppy than they used to be, but I still like them Marillion <- haven't really put out anything relevant in a long time, so not much has changed Stone Temple Pilots <- still like the first two albums, but mostly historical for me

i forgot about the descendants and pennywise. add rob zombie to my list, although that was more 8th grade and early 9th.
That's creepy. That's my list minus Jimi, Beastie Boys, and Bob Marley. I'll add the Impossibles, Bickley, Guttermouth, and Jurassic 5. Also various other punk as well.
Was in high school from Fall of '87 to Spring of '91 Believe it or not, there were really no set favorites for me in high school! I was more of a pop music fan so I liked pretty much all the songs that were #1 hits on the Billboard pop charts and I was also heavy into R&B like Johnny Gill, New Edition, Bobby Brown, Bell Biv DeVoe, Keith Sweat, etc. Also liked Janet Jackson, Michael Jackson, Hall & Oates, and Billy Joel.
88-92 The Police/Sting U2 Tribe Called Quest Pearl Jam I didn't love Nivana, but Smells Like Teen Spirit was absolutely the anthem for that generation.
Rocketman you and I have very similar lists... in fact I am copying and making adjustments to yours! 91-95: Oasis U2 Nirvana Stone Temple Pilots Pearl Jam Green Day REM The Beatles Metallica Toad the Wet Sprocket Gin Blossoms
99 - 02 Limp Bizkit Metallica Third Eye Blind Sublime Offspring Outkast Eminem 3-6 Mafia UGK Snoop Dogg Nas Tupac
