Seeing as the weather is crap, what songs make you think summer, BBQ, beer garden in the evening etc.
Any Chili Peppers record IMO. Although I'm not a fan, any Beach Boys record. Just another day- John Secada La Isla Bonita- Madonna errrrr .... Bay City Rollers records ONLY BECAUSE MY YOUNGER SISTER PLAYED THEM CONSTANTLY ONE SUMMER IN THE EARLY SEVENTIES !!!! I was into the 'cool' stuff... Floyd, Zeppelin, Purple ... tum ti tum...and they sang shang a lang and they ran... AARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH nearly forty years of therapy and it still comes back to haunt me !
Mungo Jerry - In the Summer Time Complete with slightly non-PC lyrics with drink-driving and sexist overtones.
The first Stone Roses album , released in 89 but i bought it in April 90 and played it solid all summer in 1990 till i joined the navy in October... great summer that was.

Black Grape - England's Irie The Boo Radleys - Wake Up Boo Dodgy - Staying Out For The Summer REM - I Took Your Name (opened all their summer gigs on the Monster tour with that) Anything off Supergrass's first album. Edit - that list should allow anyone to guess my age within a year
Don't look back into the sun- the libertines By the way- Red Hot Chili Peppers Wait for me- Pigeon Detectives For the Girl- The Fratelli's Ocean Avenue- Yellowcard Everytime I look for you- Blink 182 Hello- Martin Solveig
Schools Out- Alice Cooper Summer in the City- Lovin` Spoonful I saw the light- Todd Rungren Long Cool Woman in a black dress- Hollies Take it Easy- The Eagles Summertime Girls- Y & T Happy Hour - Housemartins Mexico- James Taylor In the Summertime- Shaggy Rockaway Beach -Ramones
Summer Breeze is an absolute classic, I never get tired of hearing that played, great singing with an awesome guitar sound.
