If kids today recorded this today it would be called "Cancelled (I hope you die in a fire)"

i graduated from high school in 1997 and I think they played "In My Life" over the year-end tear-jerking slideshow thing ...

Lucky, mine was to "Brick."

So weird, I was just recalling all ten excruciating minutes of my first slow dance this morning when 'November Rain' popped up on shuffle.

yes but Axl never smiled as smugly as Kenny G in that freeze frame

What the hell did people use to score misty-eyed reminiscence montages prior to the existence of this song? Like 'Alley Cat' or some shit?

"These Are The Days"

FULL DISCLOSURE: My HS Theatre Dept. farewell video used "TATD" and "Good Riddance".

When I think about it, this is actually one of my least favourite tracks on Nimrod. I understand that it's always had its fans but I've never really thought that much of it.

It's better than "Hitchin A Ride" at least

and the ska song from that album

louise ck (milo z), Saturday, 26 January 2019 02:45 (five years ago) link

Nah, I like both of those songs! Nimrod, Kerplunk and Insomniac are the three I mostly tend to listen to these days.

Having said that, it would seem that I like American Idiot more than most on here too.

Green Day is a bit too Grohl-y for me to be completely down with, but I like a few of their big hits. Not this one so much. It's doesn't come close to the glory of the song I had my first slow dance to in late summer 1986...
