I give you credit since when I was in high school that list would have been Nevermind, Ten, Vs., Purple, and Led Zeppelin IV.

Are we sure we believe Jorge was listening to those albums at that age? Wasn’t he a like a offspring super fan ?

You raise a good point, but now I'm wondering why there's no Waits. Did that come later? I know Costello came later.

It was the mid-nineties and I was a teenager, so yes. Then. My list would be quite different now.

No excuse. Doubling up on bands, even at that age, is a massively cornball move.

Jorge would never have let you write for that paper.

Yet, I could make the colorable argument that Sticky Fingers and Exile on Main Street are absolute must haves. I would also place both currently in my top 5 favorite albums ever.

No one is gonna read no matter what I write so I may as well ignore the pull of writing for an audience, right?

I was prepared to hate this list based on the title alone, but... that's a great fucking list.
They're certainly of a type. I had moved on from my punk phase and was approaching my shoegaze & indie rock phase at the time

Offspring was ages 12-15. By senior year I was way over them

I'll see if I can find a scan of that article

I dont think that’s an unlikely list for a high schooler. Disintegration at least would def have been on mine in high school

Wait - what phase am I in now? I like all those genres. And others too!

Those are all very much albums a high schooler into music in that era would have liked, not surprising at all. I had all of those too (even though I never took to Nick Drake)

I haven’t listened to that album in probably 20+ years but I have a distinct memory of really loving it and listening to it a lot in the 2000-2004 range of time, which coincided with a long delve into the Velvet Underground (not that they really sound anything alike), and Pink Floyd (also very different from the other two). I have no idea why I moved on, but it’s all stored away in some memory bank of the time, ready to be enjoyed again whenever.
Fitting that you also mention Pink Floyd. The connection here is that Joe Boyd produced the first 2 Nick Drake albums. Prior to that he had produced Pink Floyd’s first ever single “Arnold Layne” as well as an early compilation of theirs.
