I smell summer in the air!

[SkeeK]

Violator by Depeche Mode is THE ABSOLUTE BEST album to listen to on a summer night while looking up at the stars.

 

[HeartlandGirl]

The Breeders--Last Splash album

Good summer cruisin' music. Fun and rockin'!

Snoop Dogg and most rap music is more fun in the summer as well.

summer is typically happy music time.
