Middle School was an interesting time span. It was some our first real feel of adulthood. We were naive in thinking that, but that's genuinely how we felt (Admit it!). However, when I went to Middle School it was an interesting time. It was at the end of the 2000's and creeping up to the 2010's. Music was in a weird conundrum where it could have taken any direction. It was a lot of throwing stuff at the wall and seeing what would stick. Some did stick with us. Some did not.
10. Big Girls Don't Cry by Fergie
Fergie's first solo album feels like such a distant memory. This is probably her best song. I mean it's not as fun and or memorable as "London Bridge" or "Fergilicious." But damn does it have talent behind it.
9. Angels on the Moon By Thriving Ivory
Now we hit some genuine obscurity. I bet you forgot you that this was your angst song for a period of time. It's not quite as memorable as anything Linkin Park, but it's a perfectly serviceable sad song for every cowboy to sing.
8. Don't Trust Me by 3OH!3
Remember in High School when LMFAO were massive for one hot second? These douchebags were the LMFAO of Middle School.
7. Let It Rock by Kevin Rudolf ft. Lil Wayne.
This song kicks ass. Why did we let this gem fall into obscurity? Sure, Kevin Rudolf has all the charisma of flat soda. However, this song is pure cocaine for the night. It is impossible to not get pumped up listening to it. Hell, it makes me want to smash some shit.
6. This Afternoon by Nickleback.
For as much as people rag on Nickleback (deservingly so) they were fucking everywhere. Which means, someone had to be listening. This one is no exception. We jammed to this song. That's something we are just gonna have to live with. *Drinks life away*
Side-Note: This music video for this is so frat-boy dopey that it almost makes you want to like Nickleback (ALMOST).
5. Dead and Gone by T.I. Ft. Justin Timberlake
2008 and early 2009 was a breakthrough year for the star of Ant-Man. Between, "Whatever You Like" and "Live Your Life," T.I had left an impression on Pop Culture. I have no clue how this one failed to leave an impression. I guess for it's somber nature, but it had the star power of Timberlake. It's quite baffling.
4. Party Like a Rockstar by Shop Boyz
Jesus Christ on the cross this song was 2007. You could not eat, sleep, take a shit, or fuck without hearing this song. It was massive. It was even the theme of a birthday party I attended once. It defined 2007. Yet, when was the last time you heard it? Probably 2007.
3. I Love College By Asher Roth
Funny story, when this song was at it's apex there were people claiming Asher Roth was the next Eminem and or even better than Eminem....HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
2. Love Drunk & Two Is Better Than One By Boys Like Girls (and Taylor Swift).
It's only fitting that number 2 would have two songs...Alright, fine. I couldn't decide which one to put on here. Both are remarkably forgettable and one of them had Taylor Swift on the song. Boys Like Girls are the kind of band that could only be popular in Middle School. But hey, you probably danced to both these songs at your Middle School dance. Take that for whatever it's worth.
Side-Note: I love how T-Swizzle couldn't even be bothered to show up in the music video.
1. Bleeding Love By Leona Lewis
Hello 7th grade, my old friend. I've come to talk with you again.
