Default What rock group or song reminds you of high school?

Since high school was the late 70s for me, Foreigner's Rev on the Red Line does it for me. Also, Van Halen, Aerosmith, Boston and Styx.

Sounds gay but....Shoop by salt and pepa. Although I'm not a fan of hip hop it was hard to get away from that song.

I was at the Winterland auditorium in San Francisco the night "Frampton Comes Alive" was recorded, so pretty much anything from that album takes me back to high school.

Too many to list. Graduating in the mid 80's there were a lot of great tracks to choose from!

Shooting Star comes to mind as a group you don't hear any more tho. I listen to most rock n roll from the era still.

Anything from VH's 1984 or Deep Purple's Perfect Strangers, or pretty much anything from Ratt and Def Leppard.

I would say, the early Beatles songs from the British Invasion. At one time, they held the first five spots on the charts. "I Wanna...",She Loves ...,etc. I watched The Ed Sullivan Show, Feb. 9 64, and I was hooked.
I started a band, of course, and it was a great time. This reminds me of high school, although I became and still am a Rolling Stones guy.
