"Good 'Summer' Music?"

I've been asked by a mate if I could get him some summer music for him to play when he is on holiday and sitting around the garden drinking a few cans.

But he failed to describe properly what he meant by decent summer tunes... I've got a summer album which I'll give him but he wants some more.
Anyone give some recommendations on what they see as being 'Summer' tunes.

Thanks

Hey I dunno if you'd be into this but I bought this CD a while ago. It's got a big mix of pop, r&b, trance etc etc. It's really cool summer album if you ask me

Glad you realised. So we don't have to resort to insults. :P

Heh.

Looks good.

But information is vital these days, so I'd be wary about giving my address away to some random site.

This sounds fairly interesting, I'll be giving it a go: [URL]http://www.funjunkie.co.uk/the_summer_burn.cfm[/URL]

Definatly Maybe is my favourite summer album.

Cant think of anything better to listen to in the car, sunny day, windows down and a car full of mates.

Y'know what that was?

Unneccessary.

I won't do it again...

I'll show you why Supergrass = summer music, just look at these lyrics

Sun Hits The Sky
I know a place where the sun hits the sky,
Everything ages and blows out the night,
Everyone knows why my time can't be tied,
Cos I want to be where the sun meets the sky!

I am a doctor,
I'll be your doctor,
I'm on my way,
And you won't come down today,
Live by the rat race,
Been with the rat ones,
And they hold you down,
We'll turn the world around!

Well I just don't know why the sun hits the sky,
Everyone's dreams get to turn out the light,
Living is easy,
When time's on my side,
Cos I want to live where the sun meets the sky!

I am a doctor,
I'll be your doctor,
I'm on my way,
You won't come down today,
Live by the rat race,
Been with the rat ones,
They hold you down,
We'll turn the world around!

I am a doctor,
I'll be your doctor,
I'm on my way,
And you won't come down today,
Live by the rat race,
Been with the rat ones,
They hold you down,
We'll turn the world around!

Well we jumped all night on the trampoline
and when you kissed the sky it made your sister scream
you ate our chips
and you drank our coke
then you showed me mars through your telescope

and when the stars came out your mother called your name
but when the morning comes we'll get together again

Alright
We are young, we run green, keep our teeth, nice and clean,
See our friends, see the sights, feel alright.
We wake up, we go out, smoke a fag, put it out,
See our friends, see the sights, feel alright.
Are we like you? I can't be sure,
Of the scene, as she turns, we are strange in our worlds.

But we are young, we get by, can't go mad, ain't got time,
Sleep around, if we like, but we're alright.
Got some cash, bought some wheels, took it out, cross the fields,
Lost control, hit a wall, but we're alright.
Are we like you? I can't be sure,
Of the scene, as she turns, we are strange in our worlds.

But we are young, we run green, keep our teeth, nice and clean,
See our friends, see the sights, feel alright.
Are we like you? I can't be sure,
Of the scene, as she turns, we are strange in our world.
But we are young, we run green, keep our teeth, nice and clean,
See our friends, see the sights, feel alright

Yeah, Bob Marley's 'Babylon By Bus' live album. Any reggae or ska is great ona hot day.

Or chilled-out electronica like Air, William Orbit, Underworld, Thievery Corporation, Massive Attack.

I'm getting in to Caribou's new album, top tunes for the summer, just need some sun now.
