[t'kay]

Okay, so you guys are probably thinking this is a stupid topic BUT, I have made the best CDs from peoples favorite songs from 5th grade. It doesn't matter if this was 1901 or if this was last year, (although I hope we don't have any 12 year olds smoking stogies).

Please list some of your favorites, sorry if this makes some of you feel old , but mine were: Coolio - Gangsta's Paradise, Ace of Base - The Sign, and The Presidents of the United States - Peaches

When I hit the fifth grade music had taken the nosedive into disco, and, with the exception of my Cheap Trick, Kiss, Monkees, and Beatles albums, there wasn't a whole hell of a lot else from that era that I liked! But here are the songs that helped me survive disco!!!:

SURRENDER-Cheap Trick
STRUTTER '78- Kiss
HIGHWAY TO HELL- AC/DC
LOVE GUN- Kiss

A View to a Kill - Duran Duran (yeah, yeah)
Everybody Wants to Rule the World - Tears for Fears.
Highwaymen - Highwaymen
Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes - George Jones

Could'nt of gone to school together, I'm a little older
You got me back in time though, not sure about 5th grade but must be close.

Interesting topic. I wasn't much into music when I was in 5th grade. It was called "Year 4" where I was going to school at the time - English Private Catholic School. Not much music going on in that place!

I started getting into music a year or so later when the family moved back to the States. 6th grade it is, then:

"Kiss is on my Lips", Hall and Oates
"Tide is High", Blondie
"Morning Train", Sheena Easton (actually called "9 to 5" in England where is was released first; had to change the name because of the Dolly Parton song by the same name).
"Tainted Love", Soft Cell
The entire "Flash" album by Queen!

Same here Matt. I've got the greatest hits for four of those bands. Man, making me feel a bit old........

Hrm, so in 5th grade was when i met my best friend today and he influenced my music a lot, so I would say

Master of Puppets - Metallica
Enter Sandman - Metallica

Then you have all that punk crap that no one will hear about in 10 years...

[t'kay]

Don't think of it as feeling old, think of it as teaching us young whippersnappers a thing or two about your time. Educating us in the finer things in life

[LSU_Stogie]

Im surprised no one has said The Doors yet...
