kjones31 Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 NME had some help from artists picking the top summer songs and good ole' Chris gave his input and came out at #5 with Hot in Herre by Nelly "This is an amazing summer song. Sometimes I listen to it and think, ‘God, we haven’t got a song as good as that.'" http://www.nme.com/list/the-ultimate-summer-playlist/178575/page/2 So this made me think, we all have really good taste in music and we seem to do a lot of playlist, top album, music things on here. So what about the Ultimate Summer Playlist? Who would you put on it? For me I always think of summer as driving in your car with windows down and blasting music. So I wouldn't mind jamming out to: The Hives- Hate to say I told you so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NumbersGirl Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 I'm going to take the obvious cheesy route and say "Summertime" by DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince. Because IT JUST IS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JillyBlue Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 One of my classic fave summer songs is "You Took the Words Right Out of My Mouth (Hot Summer Night)" off Meat Loaf's Bat Out of Hell album. Too cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelynch2 Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 ^ I agree with that one. I also fancy "Sweet Escape" by Gwen Stefani, "Boys of Summer" by Don Henley/The Eagles, and "Hella Good" by No Doubt... along with MANY others that will come to my mind later I'm sure... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NumbersGirl Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 "Thunder Island" by Jay Ferguson is also pretty good. For some reason, I could see the boys performing that on the C stage sometime. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flickahidalgo Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Summer Days by Phoenix. It's not my favorite song by them, but it's related to summer. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nancyk58 Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 "Seasons in the Sun" by Terry Jacks is a great summer song, I think Someone mentioned ABBA - I came to think of their summer song "Summernight City" Bryan Adam's "Summer of 69" was another great summer song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corkus Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 "Summersong" by, The Decemberists, which I'm not even sure is an appropriate summer song. :P (I guess it is though) P.S. This seems more like a WoM topic to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corkus Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 "Summer Skin" by DCFC is another one. Off topic, but this forum is now throwing Justin Bieber ads at me. Screw you, Coldplaying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ainsley Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Go Do - Jóns Strawberry Swing - Coldplay Whatever - Oasis Hoppípolla - Sigur Rós Gobbledigook - Sigur Rós Tree Roots Turn To Forts - Parachutes Your Song - Parachutes Science of Silence - Richard Ashcroft ok those are just a few, and all of them aren't exactly summer songs. But it's just amazing to sit outside in the warmth and blast those tunes with my portable stereo thingy :cheesy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovers.in.nj Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Obviously lots of Coldplay songs are great for summer like Lovers In Japan or Strawberry Swing, but for me summer is a time for quintessential pop music, like Summer Girls by LFO or even songs like California Gurls by Katy Perry. Summer is a time to move to a catchy beat, so it's the one time I find myself listening to a lot of popular stuff. Chelsea Dagger by The Fratellis and any of the songs by The Kooks are great too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
