10 Summer Songs You Will Enjoy

I can make this list very simple. All I would have to do is write down Sublime, Bob Marley, Goo Goo Dolls and this would be a perfect list. In fact, there are artists on this list that may sound like those. Those artists set the bar high in creating chill, relaxing, summer music. My attempt here is not to top them. I don't have that kind of power nor do I have that many people who read this. So this is simply for those people who want to experience some new (and older) music that will get them relaxing by the pool and enjoying their summer. This may even spark a blunt or two. Mid July - Summer Music. Here You Go:

10) Miike Snow – Animal

Although this could be filled by same song title by Neon Trees, Miike Snow takes this. Check out his self-titled album.

9) The Bravery – Time Won’t Let Me Go

Typically I would fill this spot with The Killers. The Bravery has a very similar sound and has a great CD entitled "The Sun and the Moon". Check it.

8) The Expendables – Bowl For 2

If I smoked weed this song would be number 1.

5) Matt Nathanson – Faster

Cute would be a good word to describe this song. But I love it.

4) Long Beach Dub All Stars – Sunny Hours

This song is from 2001 and reminds me of Crazytown - Butterflies for some reason. Maybe it's the same idiot singer. All in all its a chill song and has old school Will.I.Am in it.

3) Pepper – Point and Shoot

I could have put any song by Pepper on here. They are all reminiscent of Bob Marley + Sublime + Hawaii. Can't go wrong here. Check out the songs "Boot", "Rent", and "Freeze".

2) Shwayze – Love Letter

If you remember the song "Corona and Lime" you know Shwayze. They are easily my favorite summer music. This is from the singer Aaron Smith's solo album titled "Love Stoned".

Mix of Pepper and Sublime. Extremely Chill. Actually features Sublimes new singer Rome. Also listen to "Stand Tall", "Believe", "Driftin" and "Easy".
