Since it's finally getting warm in the Northwest I thought I'd make a list of my 5 Favorite Summer Albums. No matter when I listen to these records it always makes me feel like it's Mid-July.

1. Ben Harper - Fight For Your Mind
2. Jack Johnson - Brushfire Fairytales
3. Sublime - 40oz to Freedom
4. Common - Like Water For Chocolate
5. Red Hot Chili Peppers - Californication
NERDS!

    Hmm...interesting question

    marcy's playground
    californication (though there new album looks better)
    40oz to freedom
    13 songs
    matchbox 20
    The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

    And I won't make the same mistakes
    (Because I know)
    Because I know how much time that wastes
    (And function)
    Function is the key

    Interesting choices there. I'm with you on the Jack Johnson, Sublime (What I Got is one of the best Summer tunes!) and the Chilis!

    I don't think I could limit my choice to just 5 but I'd throw in:
    Reef - Glow (purely cos it takes me back to school and lazing about on the field when I should have been taking an exam, oops)
    Beck - Odelay
    Pixies - Death to the Pixies
    Jeff Buckley - Grace (for those summer nights when you're chilling with your mates.. ahhh)
    Green Day - Dookie (... again because it takes me back to a great Summer...)
    Foo Fighters - Colour and Shape


    ..god, this is too hard to limit to just 5!! :D
    PJ Virgin.. till the Astoria :)

    1) Incubus Make Yourself. Great cd in the summer. Stellar, The Warmth, Drive, and Pardon Me.

    2) Audioslave 1st album I like alot. Shadow of the Sun is a great song.

    3) Sublime cds are great for a summer vibe but I like there self titled more for the summer.

    4)Weezer the blue album I dont know why I listen to that cd alot in the summer. Say It Aint So is classic song to me.

    5) Queens of the Stone Age Songs for the Deaf I love jst listening to that whole cd thru. Honorable mention GNR Appetite for Destruction. Paradise City is the all time summer song for me.

    I tend to listen to albums I like all the time so these cds might not be what other people think are summer albums

    Yepp!!

    I love him, I noticed his name on the bill for the Jack Johnson show I went to like 2 years ago, and so I bought his cd the day it came out and listened to him like 3 or 4 months before the show!! I was hooked as soon as I heard it...

    He's got a new album coming out in June I believe :)
