The high school music meme

Stolen from aislingthebard.

A music-tastes meme. Go to this convenient compilation site right here and find the five years you were in high school. For each year, admit to the song that was your favorite at the time, then decide which one you now generally consider to be the best song on the list. Lastly, pick the year's worst song, snarking optional.

Only one problem with this...I was only in high school for three years.

Yeah, I was all whaddaya mean??? 9-12 is only four years. Then I remembered that school years go from fall of one year through spring of the next year.

Technically the way the grades were divided between schools where I grew up we only had 10-12 in high school and 9th grade had a school all to itself.
