While a complete return to Skip School, Start Fights would have felt stale and continued down the same path as Invicta by alienating many fans, Hit The Lights find the perfect middle ground with Summer Bones.
Let’s not beat around the bush here—learning is cool, but school is usually much less cool. Thankfully, your homework pile will never be taller than your stack of records, and the right song can help you get through even the most impossible assignments. We asked our writers to share their favorite songs from their first year of college, high school, middle school, or elementary school for a special back to school playlist in this week’s Tuesday Ten.
There’s nothing quite like the feel of summer, and wherever the GPS takes you in the coming months, we’ve compiled our ultimate summer road trip playlists for you in this week’s Tuesday Ten.
