Music that means "summer" to you

two albums from my first summer in DC immediately come to mind--

Poco - Pickin' Up The Pieces
The Buffalo Springfield - Again

i also tend to listen to a LOT of country rock during the summer, it hasn't kicked in yet but it will.
 
Hellogoodbye's album Zombies, Aliens, Vampires, Dinosaurs always reminds me of summer. Mmmm I can just feel the long days and firefly laden nights.

you son of a bitch, it's gonna take a week to get that out of my head.
 
For me summer will always = When I Come Around / Green Day + Island in the Sun / Weezer + Brown Eyed Girl / Van Morrison
 
As a proud metalhead, my rotation stays pretty packed with metal year round. However, I do notice that my choices in what i listen to do lighten a bit as summer arrives. A lot less extreme metal, more power and traditional metal. To be fair, I never listen to a lot of the extreme stuff but it shrinks even more as the weather warms. Doesn't seem to fit as well.

Also, I'll listen to more straight up rock when in the car.

Len - Steal my Sunshine

I remember hearing that song over and over again with people from my team when I worked as a painter for a summer job. Everytime we would finish and drive off, that song would be on a radio station for some reason :lol

I came in here to post this, and it never fails... some station will play this Memorial Day weekend and each year.
 
Phoenix - It's Never Been Like That has been my perpetual summer album for the last 3 years.

Luna - Bewitched is another Summer favorite.

Tough Alliance - A New Chance too.

Def. some gotta have some Creedence playing too like when you're outside drinking some beers and grilling shit up.

Lotta funk too.....gotta have some nice grooves in the heat so you play a lotta P-Funk.

Then you when you get in the car to go to a party/bbq you put Return of the Mack on repeat 1 until you arrive at said party and hopefully it's playing at the party too.
 
And how the fuck could I forget T. Rex. Just put Electric Warrior, The Slider and Tanx on repeat and you're set for summer.

Impossible to listen to this song unless it a sunny summer day.

"Hot Night" by Laura Branigan

There's a song on Death Cab for Cutie's 2005 album Plans called "Summer Skin," and yet the song "I Will Follow You into the Dark" reminds me of one particular summer for whatever reason:
