Starting High School

from Best Album For Hosted by Dave Sandell & Caleb Gardner

Dave and Caleb go deep on how they formed their imagination for high school (spoiler alert: Saved by the Bell shows up) and what types of feelings and memories shaped their mindset as they remember entering high school, with all its misplaced promise and unearned swagger and raging hormones. They turn to two bands who uniquely understood the assignment — Blink 182 and the Beastie Boys — and dive into a classic and a little-less-classic album from each. Grab your trapper keeper and start the countdown to college as they pick the best album for starting high school! Albums discussed today: Blink 182 - Blink-182, Enema of the State, Take Off Your Pants and Jacket, Dude Ranch Beastie Boys - Ill Communication, Check Your Head Ratboys - The Window Rob Moose - Inflorescence
