Jump on the bike and burn up some miles!

It varies each summer, depending on what strikes my wife and I! We saw Dave Matthews Band a few weeks ago and they blew the roof off the place with a cover of David Bowie’s “Let’s Dance”, complete with the horn parts and Dave’s lead guitarist Tim Reynolds doing the Stevie Ray Vaughan lead parts. This has since become our official 2024 summer song!

Rob Thomas and Santana takes me back

 

[BingBong]

1980, man. I was 23, on the road and high. Ah, the optimism and energy of youth.

 

[fireground_piper]

Mine would change based on the year. I’d say a given album could define a particular year’s summer in my case.

 

[Cracklin' Tobaccy]

Anything by ABBA. Ah, summer in the 70's...

 

[TakeThisCobAndStuffIt]

I will second ABBA generally sounding of summer!

 

[Sig]

Pretty much anything from Lynyrd Skynyrd.

 

[PaulRVA]

Fleetwood Mac
“TUSK”

 

[FurCoat]

Pretty much anything from Lynyrd Skynyrd.

The first thing that popped in my head when I read the thread title was Free Bird.

 

[jpmcwjr]

Good selections. Oddly, the theme from "A Summer Place" popped into my brain when read the title, though I hadn't heard it for ages.

So there you are!

Fleetwood Mac
“TUSK”

I've always loved that song, even though at times the long lead in makes me uneasy.
Also thought the drum intro was machine driven, still think so in spite of USC's marching band and Trojan helmets and costumes.

 

[Rossi320]

Honestly I just love smooth it takes me back...where is she now

 

[Rossi320]

This is something stupid I wanted to post...but they don't want me to able delete it .....keeping it music related try a bar song tipsy by shaboozy

 

[Chasing Embers]

Anything by this guy.

 

[kcghost]

I think I would be happy with the Beach Boys and any up-tempo thing they did,

 

[jpmcwjr]

Oh, yeah, Surfin' Safari!

 

[jpmcwjr]

Anything by this guy.
