missing "we will rock you"

― abanana, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 05:06 (nineteen years ago)

How did they create an album with both "Jock" and "Jams" in the title without some Dave Matthews Band?

― Cunga, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 05:10 (nineteen years ago)

absolute, total, unequivocal classic. no question.

― max, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 05:13 (nineteen years ago)

"We Will Rock You" was on Jock Rock, obv.

― The Reverend, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 05:17 (nineteen years ago)

Cunga: Why is he so bad and hated?

― The Reverend, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 05:18 (nineteen years ago)

which one had the montell jordan jam on it? that was my shit.

― max, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 05:19 (nineteen years ago)

volume 2 apparently, and I think I need to head back to the "4 best songs of all time" thread to change one of them to "This Is How We Do It".

― The Reverend, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 05:27 (nineteen years ago)

yeah why did i say "that was my shit" when i meant "that is my shit, for all time and forever"

― max, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 05:28 (nineteen years ago)

2. 2 Unlimited - "Get Ready for This!"
3. Tag Team - "Whoomp! (There It Is)"
4. Black Box - "Strike It Up"
5. 69 Boys - "Tootsie Roll"

best sequencing job EVER?

― impudent harlot, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 05:55 (nineteen years ago)

been way too long since i shot a basketball for me to call this classic

― deeznuts, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 05:57 (nineteen years ago)

but it does have a mysterious power when played over crappy gymnasium speakers i will admit

― deeznuts, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 05:58 (nineteen years ago)

It has mysterious power at all times.

― The Reverend, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 06:02 (nineteen years ago)

First album was so classic, but the others were amazing too. Vol 3 and 4 had some ridiculously good megamixes, and vol 4 also had a 2 Unlimited megamix. Vol 3 is probably the second best, since it has:

Tribal Dance - 2 Unlimited
Ready To Go - Republica
I Like It Like That - Tito Nieves
C'mon & Ride It (The Train) - Quad City DJ's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Da' Dip - Freak Nasty
No Diggity - Blackstreet
Let Me Clear My Throat - DJ Kool
That's The Way I Like It - KC And The Sunshine Band
Cotton Eye Joe - Rednex (it works in context)
Robi Rob's Boriqua Anthem - C & C Music Factory
Jock Jam megamix

― musically, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 06:31 (nineteen years ago)

"Robi's Rob's Boriqua Anthem" is quite possibly the most underrated single of the 90's. Just extremely awesome.

― The Reverend, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 06:33 (nineteen years ago)

Why the title? None of these tracks is Scottish.

― Marcello Carlin, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 06:51 (nineteen years ago)

What does Scottishness have to do with anything? They are upbeat songs that accompany athletic activity rather well, hence, Jock Jams.

― The Reverend, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 06:53 (nineteen years ago)

Am I the only one that really thinks "Pump Up the Jam" was actually a good song devoid of any novelty value? I'm such a sucker for the way they mixed it with the bass hits coming out of the left channel and the snare hits out of the right. No that wasn't facetious.

― Stevie D, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 06:58 (nineteen years ago)

I came very close to agreeing with you, then realized that "Pump Up The Jam" is a great song because of, rather than in spite of, its novelty value.

― The Reverend, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 07:12 (nineteen years ago)

This thread needs to be back on the front page.

― The Reverend, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 22:57 (nineteen years ago)

Classic = 2 Unlimited in Bring It On!

― Spencer Chow, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 22:59 (nineteen years ago)

Classic or DUDE

― Hurting 2, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 23:01 (nineteen years ago)

C'mon & Ride It (The Train)

yes, YES

― Curt1s Stephens, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 23:03 (nineteen years ago)

Volume 3 is the tits.

― HI DERE, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 23:04 (nineteen years ago)

69 Boys - "Tootsie Roll"

yes, yes, YES

― Curt1s Stephens, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 23:07 (nineteen years ago)

I'm listening to vol 1...there is not a single not amazing track on it. And don't say anything bad about YMCA because it works brilliantly in this context.

― musically, Thursday, 26 April 2007 04:07 (nineteen years ago)

This makes me want to try out for Basketball next year. Layups to "Whoomp! (There It Is)"? OH YES.

― Tape Store, Thursday, 26 April 2007 04:13 (nineteen years ago)

I'm looking up the ESPN comps...apparently instead of having the Jock Jams series continue after vol. 5 they had a series called Jock Rock, one album called Slam Jams and one called Stadium Anthems. All the same type of albums though. Must get all of them...

~~I used to play this CD to bridge the gap between the high-school game and the "fifth quarter" post-game show.~~

― Pleasant Plains, Thursday, 26 April 2007 04:47 (nineteen years ago)

Volume 2 has a few of my favorites from those days

"This Is Your Night" - Amber
"I Like to Move It" - Reel 2 Real
"Boom Boom Boom" - The Outhere Brothers (winner - the explicit version is so filthy)

― chris.steffen, Thursday, 26 April 2007 05:42 (nineteen years ago)

in elementary school one kid would occasionally bring like a tiger electronics mini boom box on the bus and i don't remember them playing anything on it besides a cassette of the first jock jams. 2CLASSIC.

― A B C, Thursday, 26 April 2007 06:47 (nineteen years ago)
