Sounds of the Summer

[teejay]

After working all summer last year doing our network upgrade, I've carried over some holiday and am taking a month off over summer:cool:

Sooo, off touring with the Mrs to France and wherever takes our fancy next week for 4 weeks, have an empty 32Gb SD card which fits into the car stereo and need to fill it with music.

Not going to say what music I like, want to broaden the horizons and find our Sounds of the Summer 2011, so over to you lot:rockon:

you're going to be doing a lot of driving, so add some The Who and Deep Purple to that...

..I could do this all day...

[Hightower]

You need a bit of daft punk - that is seriously good sunny driving music. Also, any Muse album, any Foo Fighters album, any Biffy Clyro album, and any Queens of the Stone Age album should be a good start.

[Disaster]

Rancid - Life Wont Wait, lots of reggae/ska influenced punk

"..and out come the wolves" surely?

You'll be wanting some easy acoustic in there as well then.

 

Obvious example is Jack Johnson and his general Hawaiiness, but I'd also fervently recommend Iron & Wine -The Creek Drank The Cradle is as fine a place as any to start. You can probably expand out from there on your own as I can't for the life of me think what else I need to recommend without my MP3s handy to check, I'm afraid!

[Pyroman]

No Doubt - Tragic kingdom

Foo fighters - Wasting light or Greatest hits

Thin lizzy - Greatest hits or live and dangerous

Pixies - Greatest hits

Hugh Laurie - Let them talk

In the reply box where you have the world icon and the envelope next to it, just click the button at the end (the one that looks like a film) to embed a video.

Tower of Power! I love this track so much by the time I get to work my ears are normally bleeding as I can't listen to it quietly......
