If you went to high school between, say, 1985-1991, what was your music?

My musical tastes got better, I swear!

That's classic.

My best friend's first concert was Jefferson Starship and I mock her mercilessly about it. Jefferson Airplane c 1968... cool. Jefferson Starship c 1986... not so cool.

OP here. I cannot believe this thread has gone 4 pages without someone mentioning the Pixies.

If you're a woman, you are literally the first one I've ever heard of, much less interacted with, who likes Rush.

Amen, this is the worst bad ever...

This used to be me. I still love my hair bands, oh my Bon Jovi, but I am fond of many of the artists mentioned when the thread started. Do I love them? No. Although in HS, I never did get the REM and INXS craze.
