Studio albums, live albums, compilations, soundtracks, eps...all up for grabs this month!
Oh, I have all types of albums ready to post this month. Being 72, I'm probably going to be leaning towards much older albums (spoiler alert; Chuck Berry is my pick for tomorrow).
Should be good this month. Great choice Pete. The Stones well I got into them around in getting albums Aftermath and Big Hits High Tide and Green Grass albums back in 67-68 and kept on getting and filling along getting their albums. And would eventually see them in 97 at Columbus. Ohio Stadium. And yet my brother saw them 4-5 times. Different periods. He was with me when I saw them along with cousin so that accounts' for the one time I saw them..
The Doobie Brothers - 'The Captain & Me'(1973) is a total summer/beach album to me & is my pick for day 1.
Great choice! Busted Down Around OâConnelly Corners is an instrumental gem and the rest of the songs are made for the sun.
Great choice! Clear as the Driven Snow a favourite track, well l do live in the UK đą
Total classic
Wonder if Pete will include this album? Won't be surprised if he does!!
Bob Marley : Legend đŽ đ¶
And even more so in the long Winter.
âïž đŽ âïž đ”
Little Feat "Waiting For Columbus". Relaxing in a lounge chair with an adult beverage. Smooth!!!
Great pick. I have another Little Feat album on my list, they're all great summer listening though.
Great pick johnny love the TOP horns on Spanish Moon.
Excellent pick Johnny.
I think the Grateful Dead is a great summer band. A live album such as the 'Sunshine Daydream' set from Oregon in 1972, played in over 100 degree heat, is the one I'd pick. Awesome Sugar Magnolia and China Cat on that LP. Fire on the Mountain/Scarlet Begonias is another fantastic summertime tune.
Don't forget the Dark Star>El Paso!
The Dead is a perfect Summertime choice. Europe of '72 start to finish.
In no particular order. Day 1: ZZ Top- Tres Hombres. Their third album with, Waitinâ For The Bus, Jesus Just Left Chicago, Beer Drinkers & Hell Raisers, La Grange.
@@howardmackenzie4365 Hi Howard. Itâs great to see you back on.

One of the best debuts ever Gary. Love it
@@logancollins7097 / absolutely
Great pick Gary.
Led Zeppelin's Houses of the Holy for me. It's so upbeat and fun.
Hi Tom. Awesome pick
"It is the summer of my smiles - flee from me, keepers of the gloom..." (The Rain Song). Yeah, I had HOTH on my 'feel good albums' list.
@@melaniethurber5117Thank you Melanie. You obviously have good taste in music.
Nice pick Tom, an honourable mention for me.
@@askoholli9306 It's definitely an uplifting album.
Van Halen -- "5150"
I bought this in May '86, a week after landing stateside. Spun it all summer long, their first with Sammy. "Get Up," "Summer Nights" and "Why Can't This Be Love." I did miss DLR, but in my eyes Sammy did a terrific job.
He absolutely did, nice choice Gadget!
Hi Gadget. Excellent pick
@@yokerecords803 Thanks Yoke.
@@melaniethurber5117 Thanks Mel.
@@gadgettheratboy9051 your welcome Gadget
My pick for today is Alice Cooper - School's Out. This one is the first that came to mind. First day of the school holidays and you feel free and exhilarated. 'School's out for summer' when you're sixteen years old, that line sounds very appealing. Other bangers are 'Public Animal No.9' 'Luney Tune' and 'My Stars'.
Nice!!..love Luney Tune:)
@@gaznathemoon1128 Thanks Gazn.
Great pick!
@@razor7394 Thanks.
Fantastic pick Danny. Love the early 70's Alice albums with the original band. "Luney Tune" is a blast.
Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band - "Live Bullet". From Nutbush City Limits to Let It Rock, all killer and no filler!
Day 1. Beach Boys - Pet Sounds One of the greatest pop records ever made is this one. Brian Wilson's masterpiece just oozes summertime with the arrangements and the vocal harmonies here. Carl Wilson's voice is outstanding here especially on Oh Caroline.
@@Brother_MarkG Hi Mark. Awesome pick
Great pick Mark.
Great choice Mark. Beach Boys and such a good album a masterful one indeed. I do have the vinyl of it. I saw Sal picked it too. I may include it later or have as great honorable. So many summertime albums to use.
Nice pick, Mark. BBs will be on my list too, but haven't decided which one.
War - Greatest hits. Great outdoor summer music. All day Music for sure!
Most of my albums will be from the 80s so I should get the older ones out of the way. I think I started with this band for 2014...
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Damn the Torpedoes (1979)
"Well, it was nearly summer, we sat on your roof
Yeah, we smoked cigarettes and we stared at the moon
And I showed you stars you never could see
Babe, it couldn't have been that easy to forget about me..."
Great Pick!
@@drewrose374 đž
Awesome pick
Jimmy Buffett âA1A.â The album your liver would sing during and after a great night of partying by the water.
Or driving, or chilling, you picked a good one in A1A. Driving the coast near Traverse City brings to mind.
The WHO Live at Leeds
I have lived in the Sunshine State for decades so everyday seems quite like summer to this Connecticut Yankee. âđŽđ
But for the late 1970s and the 1980s, I am forever a vinyl record obsessed tween and teen.
No. 1. Foreigner - Foreigner. đđ. Debut album released in March 1977. With this album, I am perpetually doing freestyle skateboard routines with my little sister to âCold As Ice.â "360-720-1080!" This entire album is excellent for summertime rockinâ with other great tracks such as âFeels Like The First Time,â âLong, Long Way from Home,â âI Need Youâ and âStarrider.â Just rock out and have fun. đ. Rock Always! - Heather
Awesome pick Heather.
@@christophercoles4401 Thanks, Christopher! đđâđ».
@@the80slivehere You're welcome.
Fabulous choice Heather. I have a different Foreigner album listed for my summer pick by the band, but this is also an awesome album.
@@jerryattwooll4864 Thanks, Jerry! đđââ.
My particular picks -
1) 1984 - Van Halen
Allman Brothers - Brothers and Sisters
I agree. That may make my list, too.
Excellent pick!
Great choice. My favorite studio album by the group, made to hear outside in the sun.
@@monte.olson58 Hi Monte. Fantastic pick
Great pick.
My occasional summer time listen, There is about 10 or so records that I listen to each summer, out of tradition. Todays pick is the fourteenth studio album from these British legends. Released on June 9th 1978. The Rolling Stones! Some girls.
Hi James. Awesome pick
Great pick. Matching picks today.
Manassas - Stephen Stills
Johnnyâs Garden - terrific Canyon evocation.
Awesome pick!!!
Hi Pete. Dave here. My first pick is the s/t debut by SANTANA. Brings back memories of a family summer holiday in Majorca in 1970, when this album was being played everywhere, and one track in particular, Carlos' sultry guitar of Jingo. Of course, another track Soul Sacrifice wowed Woodstock.
Hi Dave. Fantastic pick
Nice pick Dave, I chose Moonflower but this was a close second
Nice first pick Dave. I have a different early Santana pick coming up, any of those early albums are worthy contenders though.
Funny, as Smooth was a massive summer hit when I was in my early 20s. It makes me think of being in the rock/metal pub in my town in the summer holidays.
Great pick Dave.
I have so many memories of hanging out in the park behind the Tim Hortons in the summer, 20+ teenagers, drinking beer underage, laughing, talking, joking, just fuckin' around in small town Ontario, you know? And the soundtrack to those days was The Best of Nazareth. I can still hear it, "Shanghai'd in Shanghai!!!", while we were flipping Bubba's Hyundai on it's side when he went in for a piss!
My pick today will be The Cars âHeartbeat Cityâ. Heard this one all over in the summer of â84. A summertime classic ever since!
@@resistor27 Hi resistor. Awesome pick
AMERICA - HOLIDAY - 1974 - 33 minutes of a mixture of moods for when the suns out and when it dips behind the clouds.
@@shaunogle530 Hi Shaun. I was going to post this album but took them off. Fantastic pick
I listened to America for the very first time on a hot late July Sunday here in Germany. This band has been connected to that time of the year for me ever since.
My list will also not be in any order of preference, but just how I wrote them down. I also make no apologies for this feature for including a couple of compilations and even a multi artist compilation in my list. My pick today is RUMOURS by FLEETWOOD MAC Just a perfect summer album packed with such great songs. Yes, it's a soap opera of the band members lives and their unfolding relationships played out in these songs, but what great melodies and just that summery feel. Virtually every song is a radio classic, most of us know them all, Dreams, Don't Stop, Go Your Own Way, The Chain, You Make Loving Fun, but they're perfect songs to which to chill out, outside or in. Even the deep cuts are terrific. An ultimate summer album for me.
@@jerryattwooll4864 Hi Jerry Fantastic pick and article. I love that album.
â@@melaniethurber5117Thanks Melanie
@@jerryattwooll4864 your welcome Jerry
Great pick Jerry.
@@christophercoles4401 Thanks Chris.
1) Terry Reid - Seed Of Memory
The first thing I ever remember hearing about Terry Reid in the '70s was that he had turned down Jimmy Page's offer to be lead singer of Led Zeppelin, then suggested Robert Plant. I heard a similar story of him passing on a similar offer from Deep Purple for the spot eventually filled by Ian Gillan.
Those were intriguing stories, but I never really took an interest in Terry Reid musically until I heard the title song of this album.
Seed Of Memory is an eclectic, part acoustic, part electric album that jumps genres like a frog on a lily pad pond. It's a mellow album on the mind and ears, but songs like "To Be Treated Rite", "Seed Of Memory", and "Brave Awakening" carry weight in their lyrical subject matter, and melodies that stick in your head. This is a perfect album to listen to by a campfire in the moonlit woods on a warm summer's night.
Favorite Tracks:
"Seed Of Memory"
"To Be Treated Rite"
"Faith To Arise"
"Brave Awakening"
Nice pick and write up Chris, I had is album River way back when then just ignored his talent based on your right up I need to go and reacquaint myself with his music
@@mordrid11man15 Thanks Mordrid. For an artist who's relatively unknown he has an impressive body of work.
Hi Chris. Donât know your pick but your article is interesting.
@@melaniethurber5117 Thanks Melanie. You should check this album out. I think you'd like it.
Great pick Chris. Terry Reid And great music from Terry. What a great voice and artist. Know of him well.
My day one favorite summertime album is Beach Boys - Pet Sounds.
1. Beach Boys - Pet Sounds
Great way to kick off the month Sal. You can't do summer without The Beach Boys! đ
@@christophercoles4401 I agree as I picked it too.
Classic pick, Sal.
@@sdrandazzo Hi Sal. Awesome pick
Cat Stevens - Teaser and the Firecat - October 1971
His fifth studio album of mellow Folk Pop, perfect for chilling in the sunshine (if we ever get any, here in the UK) favourite tracks include "How Can I tell You" "Moonshadow" and "Peace Train"
Hi Andrew. Awesome pick
@@melaniethurber5117 Thanks Melanie, you can't go wrong with any of his albums from this period.
@@andrewcarr5923 your welcome Andrew
Great choice of album there! For me Teaser and the Firecat beats Tea for the Tillerman by a Cat's whisker! đ A couple of my favourites are If l Laugh and Rubylove.
Hi everyone, happy July, and off we go with our summer selections. Just at random for me this month, a mixture of albums that bring to mind a particular summer or albums that just sound good in the sunshine: warning - there will be a fair bit of AOR on offer over the next few weeks!!!
Also, I probably won't be writing as much as usual, unless I pick something really obscure or there's a reason for the choice that requires a bit of a back story. Today, though, I'm just going to with a name we should all know and an album we will all have heard of, at least.
BRYAN ADAMS "Reckless"
Big hits, big choruses, nothing deep or meaningful, just those big earworms like Run To You, Heaven, Summer of 69, Somebody, It's Only Love...
...and that's all!!
Hey Iain. Cool pick. Reckless definitely has a summertime feel about it.
Awesome pick Iain! Definitely a terrific summertime album, will certainly make my list
Nice pick Iain did not quite make my list
Hi Iain interesting article. Donât know your pick
Excellent choice Iain. Like my own choice today, virtually every track here is a staple of classic rock radio.
Day 1 pick is The Very Best Of The Beach Boys Sounds Of Summer. Released in 2003 on Capital. They were at the beginning of this new genre called surf music. This cd covers hits from 1962 Surfin Safari to 1985 Kokomo and a whole lot of hits in between. Such as California Girls. Fun Fun Fun. Little Deuce Coupe. Help Me Rhonda. Do It Again and Good Vibrations. A total of 30 summer like hits from Brian Carl Dennis Wilson. Mike Love. Al Jardine Bruce Johnston. And David Marks. The Beach Boys.
@@dennisstratton6508 Hi Dennis. Fantastic pick and article
@@melaniethurber5117 thanks Melanie i had to start this off with a band that bleeds summer.
@@dennisstratton6508 It certainly does that. Itâs an awesome album
@@melaniethurber5117 thanks again.
Great Pick!
This will be an interesting month as all I normally do is lighten the blues and metal I listen too a little bit in the summer. However, I will start with a live album (yes I dont normally nominate live albums but this evokes so many memories of working off the coast of Africa with just one album playing all day everyday for six weeks (I knew every word and every note!!!!, and it was hot and sunny) So my pick is Day 1 Moonflower - Santana
Hi Mordrid. Nice to see you back on. Fantastic pick and article
@@melaniethurber5117 Thanks Mel, been really busy so fingers crossed I can contribute this month
@@mordrid11man15 your welcome Mordrid
Terrific pick and write up Mordrid. I haven't heard this in years. High time to dig it out.
Nice pick Mordrid.
Thank you, Pete, for your pick.
All the damn time.
My Day 1 Pick: Cheap Trick- In Another World
đ€đžđ”đčđ„
Life is better with music
Aerosmith-Rocks
For me the best songs to listen to in the summertime would be old classic rock music from the 60's and 70's especially Southern oriented rock bands such as the Marshall Tucker Band, Molly Hatchet and other southern rock bands like them thank you Pete.đ”đŒđ¶đ¶đŒđ”
38 Special - Wild Eyed Southern Boys
Hi Zachary. Awesome pick
Great choice Zachary. I'll be choosing a different. 38 Special album in the coming days, but I could have picked this one too.
Great album!
Great pick! Absolutely! Completely forgot about this one! Will be in my honourable mentions, love this album!
my pick today is
the beach boys
"pet sounds"
1966
Excellent choice, bengal. You will see this album on my list for this month. đ¶đđ
thanx debđđ
@@bengalgangster You're welcome, bengal. đ¶đđ
@@bengalgangster Hi Bengal. Marvelous pick
Great choice buddy. If I was contributing all month, this would definitely have been on my list. Cheers.
Status Quo "12 Gold Bars" (1980). Fantastic greatest hits, good time music.
Hey Ramon, I usually veto live and compilation albums from these things but I think I'll be picking at least one of both this month. This is a great example, but not one of mine- although The Quo will be making an appearance later!
1 - Boston S/T
Great choice Mark, the perfect "driving with the top down" album.
Superb! My number one summertime album for sure!
Had to be there, seminal album!
Hi Pete, I have usually struggled with the Stones but will give this another go having listened to your take. My faves are a bit Fuzak as Andy Edwards would say, but I go to Catching The Sun by Spyro Gyra and Beyond Silence by the unheard of English guitarist Jerry Playle.
for day 1 my pick is max webster, high class in borrowed shoes
My #1: Queen - Greatest Hits (Any Version)
Cheap Trick Live At Budokan
Good morning (afternoon, evening or night), Pete. Going to be away for a few days so leaving the first six choices for the month. No particular order this month and limiting myself to one album per band or artist. Looking forward to coming back to review what you and other commentators choose. Since six listed, not a lot of details offered today.
7/1 - Toulouse Street - The Doobie Brother: Not my favorite album by the band but starts with the single Listen To The Music and a great beginning for the month.
7/2 - Green River - Creedence Clearwater Reval - Again, not my favorite album of the band but likely #2. A summertime constant.
7/3 - Boston eponymous debut. Stadium rock great for playing outdoors or damn near anytime, anyday. (Almost) everyone knows this album.
7/4 - Happy Independence Day to all U.S. folks. Pick any of the first five studio Lynyrd Skynyrd albums. Guaranteed to be played down here in north central Florida and at any beach or lake gathering up and down the coast. Perhaps the live album is a better choice. Pick your favorite. I'd probably go with the debut.
7/5 - Christopher Cross eponymous debut. Yacht rock? Perhaps. But great on or near the water or for road trips
7/6 - Volcano by Jimmy Buffett. Again, maybe not my favorite album by Jimmy but down here in Florida, Buffett is heard year-round. This is one the strikes a particular summer feel for me.
Thanks as always, Pete. Looking forward to coming back to see you choice(s) and what everyone else chooses.
@@johnmichaelwilliams6694 Hi John. Fantastic picks and articles.
LS Live for sure!
I have to say that summer time has no influence on my listening even though it is my favorite season. So I will just pick great albums and the first one does reference summer. Today's pick is Blue Oysrer Cult-Agents Of Fortune. The first cut is monumental, "This Ain't The Summer Of Love". Other great cuts include "E.T.I. (Extra Terrestrial Intelligence)", "The Revenge Of Vera Gemini", "Sinful Love", "Tattoo Vampire" and "Tenderloin". This album is not in the same class as their iconic first 3 records, but it is not that far behind either. Lie back in the warm summer grass and crank this one out.
I am like you Yorke, music taste really does not change that much and BOC will be on my list later

My Pick fr Day#1 is Van Halen - Diver Down
The first of two entries by Van Halen, summer of 1982 and (oh) Pretty Woman was all over the radio and MTV and while on a family vacation
in Wildwood NJ I had my first summer fling! met a girl at the hotel pool and asked her to the boardwalk that evening and she said yes! So later
that night I won a wheel game and the prize she chose Diver Down! the rest of the week we were inseparable and Diver Down was the Soundtrack!
I love this album! It's not my favorite, but it is definitely special to me and will always remind me of summer! Where Have All The Good Times Gone,
Hang 'Em High, Little Guitars, Dancin' In The Streets, The Full Bug all the instrumental bits, Just a fun summer party record!
Be warned! There are more surprises like this coming up in my list! LOL!!!

@@gadgettheratboy9051 LOL! Thanks Gadget!

First pick: Boston debut
Day # 1 - The Rolling Stones - Some Girls (released June 9, 1978)
Some bands are synonymous with summertime. The Rolling Stones are that for me. Many Stones classics to choose for this pick: Sticky Fingers, Exile on Main Street, Some Girls, and even the latest Hackney Diamonds. This one has the fun, bouncy element for summer and is a collision of late 70's sounds with punk, disco, and old-fashioned rock and roll. Born during the summer of '78. Many songs remain prominent in their set-list today.
@@guarddl9522 Excellent choice and write up.

@@tomp8463 Thanks. Got motivated from the Soldier Field show last night. They played 3 from Some Girls: Miss You, Shattered, and the Keith Richards tune Before They Make Me Run.
Love these. It was the daily bands in that start with a letter in the order of the alphabet that led me to discover this channel.
Exile is my fav stones album. Being a metalhead. My pick is alittle surprising . Jimmy buffett . Boats. Beaches. Bars and ballads.a ton of great summer stuff here
In no order ! I'm going to start with Live & Dangerous by Thin Lizzy. This is the album that converted me from a casual fan to a full on devotee.
Day 1. Danzig - III: How the Gods Kill (1992)
"...Dirty Black Summer...uuhh!" Somebody has to wear black socks to the beach.
Nice pick Kevin.
Awesome album from Glenn and co
Great topic this month Pete so many albums to choose and lots of honorable mentions at the end of the month. Today my pick day 1 is The Beatles Abbey Road. Definitely an album that I can listen to from start to finish anywhere I go. Favorite tracks are Something, come together, here comes the sun, I want you sheâs so heavy, the three song medley at the end but every song is amazing

Day 1
Crossroads Guitar Festival
Hosted by Eric Clapton
2004,2007,2010,2013,and 2019.
These Crossroads concerts are worth watching or just listening to. Each of them run about 4 hours long and have a lot of famous musicians on them. The only one I donât have yet is the 2023 concert. They play a lot of blues music on theses. Here are some of the names of the people who play on theses Crossroads concerts.

Hi Mark N Mandy Fantastic pick

Brilliant pick Mark & Mandy "...Take the highway to the end of the night / Take a journey to the bright midnight..." It really can't get much better than this. Glad you two are back. Hope you have a spectacular, cool, no-humidity, cloudless Pennsylvania Monday morning.
Yes. Terrific album, no matter the time of year.
1. KISS- Hotter Than Hell
Don't Disturb This Groove by The System, 4th album by the US R&B/synth-pop duo. The title track is an almost perfect summer song with its cool laid back groove & memorable chorus, and the rest of the album is a great collection of soulful dance-pop.
Great topic Pete , love your choice too.
Seen so many albums in the comments i could choose. SoI will pick something i haven't seen yet. I'm going for a mellower summer day n picking Even in the quietest moments , Supertramp.
The Dead Europe of '72 or a good blues variety will get you through the longest Summer days.
Definitely one of my favorites of their's!! My Day 1: Going with the first solo album from a guy who's made great music since the mid 70s. He's sadly no longer with us, but his music will live on, and this particular album is a summertime listen for sure!! Talking about Tom Petty - Full Moon Fever
The Sound of Summer Running, Pat Metheny and Bill Frisell in glorious laidback mood.
All right we'll come back for this one I could get a list together
I'm going to kick it off

I didn't really do much last month I was off and on with some of the other streams here and there and some of the other videos but I really didn't have a list made for last month đđ
1. Mungo Jerry : self-titled
This may be low-hanging fruit for some, but how many people who know the hit song actually know what a great album this is? I got this album in the summer of 1971, a year after it's release. I still think it's brilliant.
Tim Curry ... Simplicity
When given this assignment by Pete for albums specifically for the summer season, this Tim Curry album came to the top of my mind.
The leadoff track, "Working On My Tan," with its reggae beat, sax, ocean waves, laughing children, and Curry's lilting phrase of "Sunshine," embodies a beautiful summer day.
This mood never breaks throughout this album.
Let go of your enduring image of Tim Curry as Dr. Frank-N-Furter in the Rocky Horror Picture Show or his many other roles. This was his third and last major label rock album. There should have been many more.
Beware the CD bonus tracks on the reissue. "Alan" is a nice song, but it breaks the mood of the original record.
Fans of guitarist Earl Slick from David Bowie's mid-seventies period and much more may like to check out his playing on this album.
Looking forward to your pick in the morning, Pete.
Niiiicçcceeee pick with the Stones, Pete.
The aforementioned Mac Rebennac is Dr John from New Orleans, remember Right Place, Wrong Time!
Donald Fagen - Kamakiriad
I will classify my picks into categories: 1. Albums released or aired in the summer. 2. Albums with a summer vibe; 3. Perfect albums that work for any season; 4. albums that have a party vibe, regardless.
So, I am going with The Motels ALL FOUR ONE for my 'albums that were released in the summer and had airplay category. During the summer of 1982, one could not turn on the radio without hearing the lovely ONLY THE LONELY. Besides, the album kicks off with a banger - MISSION OF MERCY - a great tune to begin a party.
good pick , love the song "mission of mercy"
@@bengalgangster Thank you!
My picks rarely get love on this page:)))
My first pick Cry of Love self titled.
Groovin rock for the summer
I'm pulling a Catino today. My first pick is the ten cd ZZ Top box set called The Studio Albums 1970-1990. It starts at First Album and goes to 1990's Recycler. I remember buying this at a cd store in Vegas called Zia Records when I went to visit my dad. That day, my dad let me play some stuff when we were by the pool. I dig the variety of Exile.
Atlantis- Cats In Space
Hooray, some love for The Cats! Excellent pick
1. Van Halen - Van Halen II
Welcome to July, everyone!
I have always associated The first 7 albums by Chicago with summer. V with Saturday in the Park !
Day 1: Enya - Watermark
One of the reasons I love your channel is you come up with themes I've never given thought to. There have to be albums that I listen to more in the summer. Have to give it thought. Anyway, Exile could very well be on the list.
I tried to come up with some albums, but then just concluded that my listening habits don't seem to depend on the time of the year at all. It would've been just all clichés à la (Best of) The Beach Boys etc. Maybe next time.
For my first pick I'm going with Thin Lizzy - Jailbreak
@@razor7394 Excellent choice.
@@dannyhoeykens thanks Danny
@@razor7394 Hi razor. Awesome pick

@@melaniethurber5117 Thank you Melanie!
Not the usual SOT fare but I love this jazz flavoured album
Language of Life Everything But The Girl
Bob Marley - Legend
Looking forward to this new series!
Exile is not just my favorite Stones album, but a top 5 overall. Such an epic classic.
Peter Tosh; Wanted; Dread or Alive. I love Peter's voice... not sure why this particular album tickled my fancy so much, but it did. And it's the first album I think of for summertime.
The Cars: âHeartbeat Cityâ
Excellent choice Pete.
