Today’s Ten on Tuesday is to name ten bands/artists that remind you of High School, which is totally do-able, except that music was a HUGE part of my life back in the school days (still is) - so I can NOT just name ten.  Honestly when I think back to my school days, there is a flood of music that comes to mind and I am totally taken back to the days of my friend Kathryn and I spending our evenings in music stores, blowing entire paychecks on CD’s then driving around in one of our hot little Nissan Sentra’s, either mine or hers and listening to music for hours while driving to nowhere!  Or the countless evenings we spent in great dives like The Kings Head Inn, The Beach Club, The Peppermint, etc. listening to some of these bands play.  We also had no problem hopping in the car and driving to dive bars in Richmond, VA or Washington D.C. to see them play either.  We loved music.  So here is a listing of some of the music that comes to mind when I think back to my school days - and I know there is no rhyme or reason to the list, bear with me.

02. Tori Amos
03. The Misfits
