What are the songs (and albums) that sound like summer to you?

The masses have the Beach Boys, Bob Marley Legend, J**** B******, and a few dozen tunes by Kenny Chesney. But considering Tiki Centralites wide tastes and higher than average musical awareness (knowledge of music and awareness of the importance of having the right music for a particular situation) there's got to be dozens of swell summer sounds to include on a list.

There's nothing wrong with the obvious ones (It's a Beautiful Morning by the Rascals, In the Summertime by Mungo Jerry, Summer by War) and ideally the suggestions will be tunes anyone should be able to find fairly easily. (Feel free to wax poetic about a rare B side, but there's no need to reach for the obscure. We know we're all cool.)

And since summer nights are another season themselves think about great summer night songs.

Also suggest full albums that nail the summer feeling for you.

And songs for the summer lounge would be also be good.

Anyone can use Google to just come up with a list of songs with "summer" in the title, and there are lots of songs about summer which probably leave you cold. These lists will hopefully be made of music you actually want to hear in the summertime.

Add your songs and master lists will be kept in the post below this one.
