The Foundry is going to allow us to plug in an iPod during the party.
Of course we'll play "Time for me to Fly" a few times, but we need more suggestions!

I'm Too Sexy?

don't forget "tear in my bear"....that piece-o-crap song that somehow made it into the jukebox in the sr. cafeteria...
Two words: Milli. Vanilli.
New Order: Bizarre Love Triangle
"I'm Gonna Knock You Out"
Aerosmith: "Sweet Emotion",
Unbelievable by EMF, Bust A Move by Young MC, Evenflow by Pearl Jam, Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen, Blister in the Sun by the Violent Fems
Glad you asked! You need some alternative in there and grunge. Very important to many of us these years. I never understood why "Time For Me to Fly" was the theme, it wasn't even from our generation! Anyway, I digress. Here is my high school playlist.
Nirvana, Smells like Teen Spirit album, grunge was probably the biggest musical influence to come out of these years. You should play alot of these songs.
Jawbreaker, anything off unfun, maybe Fine day
Dinosaur Jr. something off Green Mind, maybe Freak Scene
Green Day, My Generation (not new stuff, something off of Kerplunk!)
Screeching Weasel: something off My Brain Hurts, maybe I wanna be with you tonight
Perl Jam Ten
I think everyone's suggestions so far are right on--Nirvana, Pearl Jam--but also, the boom-chica-boom stuff like C & C Music Factory-I can't remember, but you know, that dancy kind of stuff. And yes, "Time for me to Fly"?? Ditto to whoever said it wasn't even from our generation! I remember my vote, and it was "It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday" Boyz to Men!!!!
"Under The Bridge" - Red Hot Chili Peppers , "To Be With You" - Mr Big , "November Rain" - Guns N' Roses , "Diamonds & Pearls" - Prince , "Damn, I Wish I Was Your Lover" - Sophie B. Hawkins , "Tennessee" - Arrested Development , "The One" - Elton John , "One" - U2 , "Friday I'm In Love" - The Cure , "Free Your Mind" - En Vogue.
Just a few ideas. Funny how some of these I haven't heard since '92 but could probably still sing word-for-word.
I think New Kids on the Block and Guns N Roses were voted best new groups in our freshman yearbook.

wasn't the prom theme fixed? mmmmm.....
It's good to see even 17 years later we all still have excellent taste in music! I seem to remember a house song that B96 used to play called Rita something or other? Anyone else remember it?
oh, reading the last comment reminded me, gotta play some B52s for sure. "Rock Lobster" and "Lava" still rock my world. also Love Shack.
