No Such Thing
John Mayer – Room for Squares
2002
John Mayer is many things and your opinions of the musician may vary but it is difficult to argue with this: with his 2002 debut single No Such Thing, he encapsulated the high school experience very, very neatly. A song that defeats the notion that high school is the pinnacle of one’s experience, No Such Thing is positive, empowering, engaging and fun. There are a number of great songs about school. This has to be on any list of the top ten.
