I was actually going to say that one, but I decided to go with my non-U2 choice.

 

[JCOSTER]

Me too!

The Bends

perfect for summer

can't beat...planet telex, high and dry, fake plastic trees, nice dream, just...

The Bends has this perfect "sunny
+ summer" vibe to me...

 

[Screwtape2]

I'm kind of surprised no has mentioned it but Funeral by Arcade Fire.

 

[Utoo]

Same here. It's a perfect "sit out in a summer breeze" album.

My non-U2 choice:

thats more of a fall/winter album to me

 

[pgv]

So much for the city - the thrills. It reminds me of when I went on holiday to ireland one summer everytime I hear it.

& yes I agree with the Bob Marley album.

 

[annie_vox]

I agree with ATYCLB

Also:

Employment - Kaiser Chiefs

Scissor Sisters - Ta-Dah

Sambassadeur - Sambassadeur

 

[Bluer White]

Sublime: Greatest Hits

 

[LemonMelon]

 

[impy13]

Other than the obvious fact that it contains a track titled "It's Summertime," it reminds me of driving to and from Austin last summer with the windows down in June. It's a great windows-down summertime drive album.

I'll say any RHCP album! Especially...

But ATYCLB & Houses Of The Holy are both great choices!

you forgot the Bends bitch

 

[Zoots]

I don't know about The Bends. Sure, I think it's one of the greatest albums ever made but is it that summer-y?

Nice Dream in a hazy summer afternoon ?

 

[U2Man]

i agree.

but am i the only one who loves reveal?

 

[Zoots]

I know only like 5 songs from Reveal, including Imitation, Reno, Lifting, She Just Wants.. and Disappear. From what I've heard, it is indeed very summer-y! Not to mention that cover!

Do You Feel Loved

If You Wear That Velvet Dress

It's too summery for its own good. I bought it July 4, 2002 (I was 11), so my memories of it are all summer-based.

 

[intedomine]

Summer Breeze - Seals & Croft

Without doubt the most Summer-y song ever written.

POP MUZZZIK

Pearl Jam's VS has an open-air, driving-down-the-highway feel with Rearviewmirror, etc.

Neil Young's Harvest Moon is another.

I probably would have chosen The Bends at some point. It now reminds me of the early spring--it was the album playing in my earphones when my dog and I had a close encounter with a mother Black Bear and her two baby cubs while hiking...memories
