Malakin Posted June 4, 2004 Report Posted June 4, 2004 One song always sticks out in my mind when people say summer songs.. It always makes me feel like going for a drive with the top down and just singing along... Dreams by the Cranberries
Ken Posted June 4, 2004 Report Posted June 4, 2004 For whatever reasons, I have always considered these to be great summer songs: Pointer Sisters: "Slow Hand" and "Fire".

Tenacious_Peaches Posted June 4, 2004 Report Posted June 4, 2004 Here is a link to another similar thread... Summer Songs. As far as artists that sound like Avril or Michelle, the only one I can think of is Vanessa Carlton. Sara, words cannot describe how much I love "Chains of Love" by Erasure. Remember "Oh, L'amour"? Oh, my teenage years...so long ago...
jippers Posted June 5, 2004 Report Posted June 5, 2004 I have just a couple: Sparky's Dream - Teenage Fanclub Great Southern Land - Icehouse Roll On Summer - Paul Kelly
DashRipRock Posted June 5, 2004 Report Posted June 5, 2004 The Beach Boys album "Endless Summer." - You can't go wrong. Best songs? Off the top of my head, "Hot Fun In the Summertime" Sly and the Family Stone, "All Summer Long" by The Beach Boys and "Boys of Summer" by Don Henley.

audioslave Posted June 12, 2004 Report Posted June 12, 2004 Hi guys, I'm trying to make a tape up of summer songs and i wondered if anyone knows any cool old or new songs that i can use. Also does anyone know the names of any american pop stars whose music sounds like Avril lavigne or michelle branch. If anyone can help it wud be real great My favorite is "SUmmer in the CIty " really can't remember who sings it though.
MuzikTyme Posted June 12, 2004 Report Posted June 12, 2004 First song that came to mind for me was Seals and Crofts' Summer Breeze. The two part harmony on the word "mind" and the lead riff that followed made the song IMO. Audioslave, good song and I believe the version you're referring to is by the Lovin' Spoonful.
audioslave Posted June 13, 2004 Report Posted June 13, 2004 thankyou Muziktyme - that's it. And you're right about Summer breeze - it feels like summer -- blowing through the jasmine in my mind indeed.
