Here comes the sun. Long summer evenings spent with friends in beer gardens drinking large bottles of bulmers ( with ice, please ) But what bands/artists, albums/songs would you pick to soundtrack it? Personally i'd have Teenage Fanclubs - Grand Prix folowed by Forever Changes by Love with a smigen of The Shins ..... What would you choose ?????

needless to say the Polyphonic Spree have to get a mention in this category. Sunshine, Glastonbury, mushrooms, the Spree. need I say more...

Blind Melon - No Rain I am the resurrection - Stone Roses

oh my god i haven't hear that Blind Melon track in years but i think i have a video for it somewhere. very good choice

Long Live The Poly's Jesus i'd love a large bottle

Some of Blind melons earlier stuff is really great

pity he couldn't take it all in the long run

here you go Klootsie. only got this on real player http://music.deadbeatclub.com/videos/BlindMelonNoRain.rm

cheers obrienian..

another one i really like is Today by Smashing Pupmkins but maybe it's got something to with the video having an ice-cream van in it.

Desmond Dekker - 007 Lali Puna - 40 Days (Slowdive Cover) Annie - Me Plus One All Girl Summer Fun Band - Grass Skirt (when else are you gonna play it?) The Avalanches - Since I left you (and just let the rest of the album play through too) The Beach Boys - Little Honda Jimmy Cliff - Miss Jamaica The Paragons - The Tide is High (or the Blondie flavoured one if you're feeling a little more energetic) The Clash - Revolution Rock

you thought long and hard about those Binokular. fair dues

Only Happy When It Rains-Garbage Rain- The Cult Here Comes The Rain Again-Eurythmics Black Sheets Of Rain- Bob Mould You're The Storm-The Cardigans This is Ireland. We don't have summers.

I'll think I download all suggestions and make a summer album. Summer might just finally be here. I spent Friday afternoon drinking beer in the sunshine at the Pav in trinity, possibly ireland's finest beer garden. And you don't need to be a trinners student. Anyhooo Smashing Pumpkins 1979 Supergrass Alright The Rapture House of jealous lovers Kraftwerk The Model Stardust Music sounds better with you Ash Oh Yeah Moloko sing it back Jimmy Hendrix all along the watch tower

Maroon - Summer People

We Didn't Start The Fire is a good summary song isn't it? I'm so glad someone mentioned the All Girl Summer Fun Band :D

Bob Marley Staple Singers Portishead Donavon Frankenreiter

Naff in a way, but oh so right ... Summertime, Fresh Prince & Jazzy Jeff.

Grandaddy - Summer Here Kids!
