I realized the other day that while I have a ton of songs on my computer, I don't have much "summer music" - you know, stuff you may listen to on a beach or driving down the road with your windows down (PJ certainly has plenty of stuff good for this, but I'm trying to branch out). Anyone have any ideas that aren't Jimmy Buffet, Dave Mathews, or Sublime? I have tried to get into Jack Johnson, and like a few songs, but for whatever reason most of it doesn't seem to stick. Bonus points if it is on emusic.com.

Hope everyone is having a great day.

    2Pac's "All Eyez On Me" is a great summer time album. The first Doors album sounds great in the summer also.

    First thing that comes to mind is The Scottish Enlightment. "Eyes" have all the stuff to qualify as a "summersong" imo.
    As far as I know they have only released this one single so far, but it's fucking great! Will be watching them closely.

    Oh fuck yeah. Most definitely. And I'll add Guster (any CD), but mainly "Ganging Up On the Sun"... and also Citizen Cope.
    If I could, think I would give in.
