Favourite Summer Songs ? (1 Viewer)

[bringbackrattles]

Just sent off to Planet Rock a new Rockblock. 20 favourite tracks. I selected tracks with a link to summer. Not easy, but finally chose songs that rock fans hopefully like to listen to.
A few of my favourites are : Holidays In The Sun - Sex Pistols. Summer In The City - Lovin Spoonful. Feeling Good - Muse. Schools Out - Alice Cooper. Black Hole Sun - Soundgarden. Sunny Afternoon - Kinks. Anymore suggestions ?

Great track. Not sure why I never explored them more as I love their epic 'He's simple, he's dumb, he's the pilot '
