1. Beach Boys - Good Vibrations
2. Sublime - Bad Fish
3. Beach Boys - Sloop John B
4. Sublime - Summertime
5. Pearl Jam - Given To Fly
Four songs by my two favorite California bands that really just feel like summer, and a song from my favorite band that can lift you like very little else. Watch the crowd move with the band during a performance of Given to Fly and it feels like you're riding a wave with them.
Honorable Mention: Slayer - Angel of Death - Mainly because I think this song is so good it can be played anywhere, anytime and I'd be happy.
mine's more of a laid back/alternative beach mix:
1. "Girl"- Beck
2. "Bohemian Like You"- Dandy Warhols
3. "Guantanamera"- Buena Vista Social Club
4. "Happiness"- Elliot Smith
5. "Castles made of sand" -Jimi Hendrix
Okay I've given this a lot of thought, and I know you asked for five but I'm giving you my top ten.
Top Ten Summer Songs
1. Lust For Life - Iggy Pop
2. Brandy (You're a Fine Girl) - Looking Glass
3. Free Falling - Tom Petty
4. Boys of Summer - Don Henley
5. Red, Red Wine - UB40
6. True Believers - Bouncing Souls
7. Danger Zone - Kenny Loggins
8. Why Can't This Be Love - Van Halen
9. Faded - Soul Decision
10. Could You Be Loved - Bob Marley
These songs all conjure up that care-free, euphoric feeling that accompanies driving to the beach in my jeep, all four windows down, music up full-blast, belting out the lyrics. Happy Summer everyone! You're all invited to come to the beach with me whenever you want!! (And by "whenever" I mean Saturdays or Sundays - or both!!)
