[If you shout...]

The Wild, The Innocent, & The E Street Shuffle

 

[vaz02]

I find Pop - u2 my favourite summer album.

 

[FitzChivalry]

The Wild, The Innocent, & The E Street Shuffle

Legend by Bob Marley is also another great one mentioned.


The Bends? You people are on a serious LP7 anticipation high! An absolute masterpiece, but light, breezy, carefree, sunny??? These are not adjectives I would ever use to describe The Bends or Radiohead in general. I'm sorry my friends, but that's some pretty weighty shit there. summer bends.

 

[U2inUtah]

I was going to say Reveal too.

Listening to it takes me back to the summer of 2001 everytime.

Also as much as Reveal is a summer album, REM's previous release UP is a very winter album IMO.

 

[yertle-the-turtle]

Ash - Intergalactic Sonic Sevens

 

[MsMofoGone]

Any 1 of the first 3 Journey albums with Perry ... 'Infinity', 'Evolution' or 'Departure'.

These are definitely albums to hear during the summer than any other time of the year !!

 

[Saracene]

Lily Allen's "Alright, Still" was a perfect summer album for me this year.

 

[Tarvark]

Wilco is working for me now, Elvis Costello (Blood and Chocolate) as did Cream (Gears), and of course the Shins (anything).

 

[Salome]

probably something Funkadelic or Sly and the Family Stone
maybe Beach Boys

 

[LemonMelon]

[LMP]

My current favorite summer albums:

Standout Tracks: Heavy Metal Drummer, Kamera, I Am Trying to Break Your Heart

Standout Tracks: The Yeah Yeah Yeah Song, It Overtakes Me, Free Radicals

Standout Tracks: Sleeping Lessons, Phantom Limb, A Comet Appears

 

[LemonMelon]

That's indietastic, LMP.

I still stick by these:

 

[Zoots]

I'm surprised there haven't been more RHCP picks! Their whole sound is summer-y IMO.

 

[impy13]

Their whole sound is summer-y IMO.

Because every song sounds the same.

Here's one that pretty much defined summer 05 for me:

 

[Zoots]

Because every song sounds the same.

I don't know. That's pretty much like the generalization people make when they say U2 always sounds the same with Edge's chiming guitar. But we know it's not so always.

What album cover did you post there?

Btw, your elephant is cracking me up!

 

[LMP]

That's indietastic, LMP.

But I'm still 79% mainstream

 

[Canadiens1131]

AU-






TO















BAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHN

 

[impy13]

to Iron & Wine + Calexico

 

[Salome]

Creedence Clearwater Revival is a good shout
most of John Foggerty's work smells like summer

 

[I'm Ready]

Summerteeth by Wilco

besides having the name, it has the feel

 

[Lemonchick]

I second this.

 

[Tarvark]

 

[AtomicBoy]

what about the red hot chili peppers -Californication-? my fav.

 

[bayou12780]

to me, nothing says summer like the cars...
maybe because you just get the urge to go drivin' with the tunes blastin'

 

[Bonochick]

^ Nice choice...love that album.

 

[LemonMelon]

But I'm still 79% mainstream

Don't feel too bad LMP, you're only mainstream among the music nerds at last.fm.

A few more:

 

[Canadiens1131]

It might end up being this

If only I knew how to do the "iPod info on Last.fm" thing, my mainstream meter would be down about 5666778.97%

 

[Lancemc]

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...

I echo this very sentiment.

For some obscure reason, The Bends has always defined summer for me.

 

[nightninja56]

It might end up being this

we can only hope!
