Remember when you were in middle school and your parents got you your first iPod touch for Christmas, and now you had a way to text your friends as well as some access to the internet? I don't. I didn't get my first iPhone until I was right about to enter high school, but what I did have was a little, blue iPod shuffle. I had a very limited song selection on this tiny iPod, most of which were show tunes.
However, while my bus driver would play the local radio station, I would be listening for some new songs to add to my collection next time someone gave me an iTunes gift card. In my opinion, the 25 songs I have listed below are some of the greatest hits of my middle school days.
1. "Can't Hold Us" — Macklemore & Ryan Lewis
