July 23, 201015 yr 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
July 23, 201015 yr Last night I was driving around to the movies blasting Red Heart bu Hey Rosetta! And .... the new Evanescence song.... :lol: I also played Live 2003's A Rush of Blood.
July 23, 201015 yr I'm going to take the obvious cheesy route and say "Summertime" by DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince. Because IT JUST IS.
July 23, 201015 yr 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
July 23, 201015 yr ^ 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... :)
July 23, 201015 yr "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
July 23, 201015 yr Ok, I'm really bored, so I went through my itunes, and here's what I came up with (in alphabetical order)... "Crazy in Love" Beyonce "We Didn't Start the Fire" Billy Joel "Living on a Prayer" Bon Jovi Glass of Water Strawberry Swing Politik The Goldrush LiJ LiTii VLV In My Place White Shadows Everything's Not Lost "Perfect Day" Lou Reed/Coldplay cover "Grouds for Divorce" Elbow "The Bones of You" Elbow "Tiny Dancer" Elton John "Surrounded by Your Friends" Hooray for Earth "Wild Night" John Mellencamp cover "All is Love" Karen O and the Kids "Human" The Killers "This is Your Life" The Killers "Love at First Sight" Kylie Minogue "Here it Goes Again" OKGO "Sleepyhead" Passion Pit "Better Man" Pearl Jam "Got Some" Pearl Jam "Amongst the Waves" Pearl Jam "Breakerfall" Pearl Jam "Given to Fly" Pearl Jam "Wishlist" Pearl Jam "Message in a Bottle" The Police "500 Miles" The Proclaimers "Cecelia" Simon and Garfunkel "Renegade" STYX "American Girl" Tom Petty "Beautiful Day" U2 "Pride" U2 "Blister in the Sun" Violent Femmes "Surfwax America" Weezer "Gone Fishin" Weezer "Baba O'Riley" The Who
July 23, 201015 yr Summer Days by Phoenix. It's not my favorite song by them, but it's related to summer. :lol:
July 23, 201015 yr "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
July 23, 201015 yr "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.
July 23, 201015 yr Surfin USA California Girls Surfer Girl I guess ya can't go wrong in the summer with any Beach Boy's tune.
July 23, 201015 yr "Summer Skin" by DCFC is another one. Off topic, but this forum is now throwing Justin Bieber ads at me. Screw you, Coldplaying.
July 24, 201015 yr 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:
July 30, 201015 yr A lot of Coldplay songs ^^ Love Generation - Bob Sinclar Just a Girl - No Doubt Smily faces - Gnarls Barkley Starlight - Muse Summer of 69 - Bryan Adams Sweet Child'o Mine - Guns 'n Roses To binge - Gorillaz.. Just a few ^^
July 30, 201015 yr "Grouds for Divorce" Elbow "The Bones of You" Elbow :awesome: Broken Bells - Broken Bells
July 31, 201015 yr 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
