My pick is The Beatles - Revolver. My favorite Beatles album. First time hearing ´Tomorrow Never Knows´ as a sixteen year old in the eighties was a mindblowing listening experience. I can only imagine how a sixteen year old would react when he or she hears this innovative masterpiece for the first time in 1966. The whole album is of a constantly high level and despite rhe diversity it sounds like an inseperable whole. A summer without Beatles seems impossible.
Good pick Danny, I'm torn between three Beatles albums this month Abbey Road, Rubber Soul or Revolver, I'll make my mind up somewhere down the line.
Hi Danny. Fantastic pick
@@dannyhoeykens , great choice.
I'm listening to it right now. "For No One" is such an underrated song. Underrated when it comes to The Beatles, I mean.
@@dannyhoeykens Great pick Danny, it's my favourite Beatles album as well and I'll be picking it in the near future as well.
Steely Dan - Can't Buy a Thrill
@@michaelbenz8092 Great pick Michael. Picked it myself on day 3.
Day 8 - Tom Petty - Full Moon Fever (1989)
Another summertime friendly artist here with many records to choose from. I went with this one for nostalgia reasons. I remember the hits blaring all over the radio in '89...Free Fallin', I Won't Back Down, Runnin' Down a Dream, Yer So Bad, and my favorite cover of Feel a Whole Lot Better. Also, I was lucky to catch an outdoor show of this tour with my best friend and cousin and our significant others. It was great that this one fully rejuvenated Petty's career, which he would ride to the end.
Day 7 1991 Armored Saint Symbol of Salvation
Day 6 1980 Dire Straits Making Movies
Day 5 1976 Eagles Hotel California
Day 4 1973 Lynyrd Skynyrd Pronounced Leh-Nerd Skin-Nerd
Day 3 1999 Black Crowes By Your Side
Day 2 1969 Creedence Clearwater Revival Willy and the Poor Boys
Day 1 1978 Rolling Stones Some Girls

8) Chuck Berry - The Great Twenty-Eight
Chuck Berry! So effing cool. Every time I hear a Chuck Berry song I'm immediately in a better mood than I was before. Never mind that the songwriting is fabulous....the SOUND. CHUCK'S SOUND! It's not easy to pinpoint. It can easily come off sounding like a lot of early Rock 'N' Roll, but Chuck has something more, and I can't quite explain it. It's just cool.
This guy could make you go crazy in three notes, and he'd always cut loose with a solo. In many ways he was the first complete Rock 'N' Roll frontman. Not to mention that he MASSIVELY influenced everyone from Bob Dylan to The Beatles to The Rolling Stones to The Beach Boys to Run-D.M.C. .
I don't think it's exaggerating to say that listening to Chuck Berry is essential to understanding American music. Not to mention that it's a helluva lot of fun!
Favorite Tracks:
They're called The GREAT Twenty-Eight for a reason!
1) Terry Reid - Seed Of Memory
2) The B-52s - S/T
3) Boz Scaggs - Silk Degrees
4) American Graffiti Soundtrack
5) Weezer - White Album
6) Eagles - Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975
7) Squeeze - Argybargy
8) Chuck Berry - The Great Twenty-Eight

Gotta go for a swim in the "river!"
Today is Evolution by Journey. My fav album by them. Overlooked in their catalog, to me its the last great album before they started to sell out. I saw them at cleveland stadium in the summer of 79 and they toured this great album. Always reminds me of summer. City of the angels, lovin you is easy, just the same way, when your alone it aint easy, ect. Definitely a summer album !
Day 8: Paul McCarthy and Wings- Band On The Run. The third album by Sir Paul and Wings, released in 1973. With songs like ... Band On The Run, Jet, Mrs. Vandebilt, Let Me Roll It, and Nineteen Hundred and Eight-Five.

8. John Hartford -- "Mark Twang" (1976)
"...I sure do love the Tennessee River
The Ohio and the Illinois,
And I love the old Mississippi River
It's a good old place for any boy.
Just step onboard a steamboat
Ride all the way to the sea,
Where else but a muddy old river

Hi Gadget. Interesting pick and article
@@melaniethurber5117 Thanks Mel.
Great pick gadget. John Hartford was a great banjo player and songwriter. I remember him from the Glen Campbell show. I also got to see him once at my jr high got a cd signed by him too.
@@dennisstratton6508 Thanks Dennis -- that's great you got to see him -- how cool is that?! I never had the chance but I love his music and songwriting, deep Americana with a bit of humor tossed in (he wrote Glen's "Gentle On My Mind, but I bet you knew that). I've got a bunch of his CD's that I listen to often.
@@gadgettheratboy9051 Hi Gadget, another one I've never heard of, you won't be surprised to hear!
Meat Loaf - Bat out of Hell, just had to be in my list, so many days drinking and singing along with every song in the sun!
@@RustyfaetheShire One of the first 3 rock albums I ever heard, so probably the main reason I now like what I like: it was a hot summer night...
@iainhead9898 It's definitely one of those albums that has been a big part of my listening pleasures over the years Saw the great man at both the Glasgow Apollo and Edinburgh Playhouse back in the day. Magical memories!
Sticking with my theme of albums that have a mixture of 'top down' crank it up loud, hard rock with more traditionally sounding laid back summer sounds my selection today is THE CAPTAIN AND ME by THE DOOBIE BROTHERS. There is arguably a case for selecting just about any Doobies album of any era and perhaps the predecesdor to this has what many would consider a more summer type sounding album. This, my favourite by the band is the one I still reach for at this time of year. At school this was always the Doobies album the headbangers and proto metal guys were inclined to like, not surprising as it contains the cranked up proto metal of Without You and Evil Woman as well as the crunching riff rock of China Grove. As well as this we get the glorious rnb tinged rock staple Long Train Runnin', the laid back west coastish vibes of Natural Thing, Ukiah and the title track with its different sections. There's the touching gentle country tinged balladry of South City Midnight Lady, the almost prog tinged folk rock of Clear As The Driven Snow with its blistering guitar climax and the beautiful smoky blues of Dark Eyed Cajun Woman with its sympathetic orchestral accompaniment. With two distinctive but very different sounding singers in Tom Johnston and Pat Simmons, who are also a dynamic and versatile twin guitar pair, this varied selection of great songs always reminds me of summer or is the perfect way to unwind on a summer day.
Hi Jerry. Fantastic pick and article
Great Pick!
@@jerryattwooll4864 great pick Jerry!
Awesome! Doobies mean summertime music, and this is their finest album!
@@melaniethurber5117 Thanks Melanie.
The Harder They Come (1972)
The movie is a pretty grade-C Jamaican gangster flick, but the soundtrack is amazing, with Jimmy Cliff, Toots & the Maytals, the Melodians and Desmond Dekker, paving the way for Bob Marley's crossover to the mainstream.
@@Fastnbulbous1969 Outstanding choice!
Day 8. Rubén Blades - Nothing But The Truth. 😀👍. First English-language album released in 1988 on Elektra Records. I played this cassette non-stop after I moved to Miami. Today, I have the CD. The participation of Sting, Lou Reed and Elvis Costello made this a relatively accessible album for the USA. “The Hit” tells a story as compelling as a song by The Boss. 🔥. This album is not your typical summer music fare due to the social and political subject matters, but it may be appreciated on a quiet summer night outdoors. From here, I got into Salsa which is frequently hot, Latin Jazz which is always cool, and Spanish Guitar which is forever beautiful. Viva Miami! Rock Always! - Heather
@@the80slivehere Very cool pick Heather.

Hi Pete - I have everything Woodstock LOL. Monterey was great but Woodstock - that was for me the ultimate festival. Hendrix at Woodstock, just an unbelievable performance. Like you, every time I hear Star Spangled Banner it still sends chills down my spine, I think the single greatest guitar instrumental of all time - and it was live. Just watching him play - and those beautiful long fingers, no wonder he could wrap his thumb round the neck lol. His jamming and rhythm playing was just sublime. I have "Back To The Garden" 10CD set. Every act, but not their full sets, apparently there is a 30+ CD set of every acts full set. There are lots of great guitar players who I love, but Hendrix will always be No1 for me. Love your video.

Hi Pete. Dave here. Excellent pick of yours. The Star-Spangled Banner & Purple Haze from the Woodstock 3 LP set takes me back to my teens. My pick is from the 80s. It's THE SEA OF LOVE by THE ADVENTURES. A real summer feel to the music - there's even a track called The Sound Of Summer - but there is also a dark undercurrent to the lyrics as the band lived through the Troubles in their native Northern Ireland. Favourite tracks Broken Land and One Step From Heaven
A 👍 from me!
@@gaiaeternal5131 hi Dave. Awesome pick and article
@@keithjones7390 Thanks, Keith.
@@melaniethurber5117 Thanks, Melanie.
@@gaiaeternal5131 Hey Dave. I'm not familiar with this band, but your write-up makes me want to check them out asap.
Hi everyone, well, the weekend is over and it's back to work we go. Hey-ho... Still, my pick today never fails to put a smile on my face, at any time of the year really, but especially in the summer when I can pop it on in the car (mercifully, Pete, my car still has a CD player!), and tap along with its infectious, slightly Southern, totally rock & roll groove...
GEORGIA SATELLITES S/T (Elektra 1986)
Opening with their only hit of any note, Keep Your Hands To Yourself, following it up with Railroad Steel abd then completing the hat trick with the wonderfully infectious Battleship Chains is as good a way to start an album as you can imagine.
In fact, next song, Red Light, makes it 4 in s row (it, and Keep Your Hands... both survivors of the band's first 6-track mini album, Keep The Faith, by the way) and although, if I'm very honest, the middle part of the album dips very slightly in quality, before the whole thing ends with the rather good Nights of Mystery and a fun run through of Rod Stewart's Every Picture Tells A Story, nothing actually makes you reach for the skip button, and the whole album rattles by...
The performances are great Dan Baird's twinkle-eyed vocal delivery ably backed by his own rhythm guitar, alongside lead guitarist and co-vocalist Rick Richards, and the more than capable rhythm section of Rick Price on bass and Mauro Magellan on drums.
This remains, for me, their best effort as a band but I also love Dan Baird's solo album Love Songs For The Hearing Impaired which could easily have made its way onto this list - maybe someone else could save me the trouble...?
Not heard this in a long time Iain may be I will go searching and as for Dans solo album I have never heard that so another to look out especially as I am hard of hearing due to a lifetime of LOUD rock music
Hi Iain. Interesting article
Fantastic choice! I haven't spun this in ages!
Never listened to Dan Baird solo albums, but I own the first three Satellites releases, and they're awesome! Great pick! Real good time rock'n'roll! I remember Mtv playing the videos from "Keep Your Hands to Yourself" and "Battleship chains" all the time...
Great pick today Iain!
“Dazed And Confused”, movie soundtrack
Songs like “Slow Ride”, “School’s Out”, “Tush” and “Low Rider” were made for summertime!
No question about this one. Coming soon on my list. Always identified with Mitch in this movie. I was a pitcher with long hair and older , cool friends too
Great Pick! Love that Hendrix at Woodstock set!

Day #8 - Bow Wow Wow's WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH, THE TOUGH GET GOING. IMO - these guys brought a summer vibe, especially the track DO YOU WANNA HOLD ME?... It would take me a thousand years to get tired of that song. I could listen to it every day for the rest of my life, and still love it!

Level 42 - Standing In The Light, their 4th album. Produced by Larry Dunn and Verdine White of Earth, Wind & Fire. Whilst not as overtly poppy as some later albums, it is more accessible than the earlier albums with some very catchy songs including Micro-Kid and The Sun Goes Down, and no jazz-funk-fusion instrumentals.
Good to see funksters Level 42 get a mention although I’d go for World Machine
Great pick, love this one.
My pick for today is Made In Japan-Deep Purple. Some of the co-ĥosts of the various SOT shows say They ain't got time for long solos. They just grew up at the wrong time. Listening to the great musicianship demonstrated on this album is worth the time
@@stevemcnary7963 great pick!
Stained Class. Nothing like that guitar tone. When I'm delivering, its 105 degrees, no shade, no AC, just me and my water, nothing like White Heat Red Hot, self-titled track, and Better By You Better Than Me melting my face like the stained glass in the album cover was.
Rob also shamelessly wearing his 70s female singer-songwriter influences, sounding like he is unabashedly singing to Carole King and that diamond and rust girl (Joan something) is probably metal's most unexploited dead end. Truly some of the best songwriting that gelled prog and instantly gratifying speed metal. Probably the most daring album that could have possibly defined a genre among genres.
I'll keep going but also for thise late May esrly June days when its "the calm before the summer", that 1-2 punch of Friends and Celebration Day and the majesty of the B-sides on Sgt Pepper's just come in, annihilate their competition, and leave.

Incidentally, not a bad start at all. Those guys and gals totally brought it. 55th anniversary baby! I'm listening to all that sh*t this summer man!!
Absolute banger. You’ve just established my playlist for today.
Good one, Pete! I recently listened to the 38 CD Woodstock box set. My 24th favorite summertime album is The Queers - Don't Back Down (1996). Lots of songs about surfing and sunshine on this one.

31) Fu Manchu - The Action Is Go (1997)
30) Jimi Hendrix - Are You Experienced (1967)
29) Beach Boys - Surf's Up (1971)
28) Diamond Rexx - Land Of The Damned (1986)

25) Y&T - Contaigious (1987)
24) The Queers - Don't Back Down (1996)
Today's pick is Don Henley-Building The Perfect Beast. Picking Henley is a little out of character for me, but damn, there is something about his songs and performances. He sits firmly in the top tier of this kind of music. Very enjoyable with tons of great songs especially across his first 3 albums. This one, his 2nd, features "Boys Of Summer", "Sunset Grill" and "All She Wants To Do Is Dance". Great music for summer or anytime else for that matter.

@@melaniethurber5117 thank you Melanie
What a coincidence, Pete. My pick is also from Jimi Hendrix, and isn't a proper album either.
My Day 8 Pick:
Jimi Hendrix - The Ultimate Experience
I've since added all three Jimi Hendrix Experience albums to my collection, as well as his posthumous solo album The Cry of Love and the live Band of Gypsys album. However, this 1993 best-of compilation from MCA Records is what got me started.
I got it in the mail from BMG, which used to be Columbia House's rival, on the Memorial Day weekend in 1995 - just a couple of weeks left of sixth grade. Listened to it non-stop, graduated from elementary school a couple of weeks later, and continued listening to it non-stop throughout the summer break. Then, I got Electric Ladyland for my thirteenth birthday and started junior high.
I'm not participating with a daily choice here, but had to comment with an album that I just listened to: Come Taste The Band. by Deep Purple. Full of that wonderful 70s haze, warm sound, funky and groovy songs... Drifter, Love Child and especially the last track, You Keep On Moving, absolutely perfect music to be enjoyed on a lazy, sunny summer day - or on a summer evening while enjoying the sunset.
@@Fritha71 excellent choice!

lynyrd skynyrd - gimme back my bullets
Hi green. Awesome pick
Cool pick. Now I've seen all five first Skynyrd albums picked.
@@greensombrero3641 Southern rock and summer, the perfect combination, complementing each other.
Great pick green. No filler on this one.
8 is The Car's debut.
A 4 CD set on Rhino Records . The history of Surf Music 1960 / 95 , " COWABUNGA".
#1 " Ground Swells #2 Big Waves
#3 Ebb Tide #4 New Waves... Every major Surf hit by all the big names. The last disc carries on the spirit + tradition of the genre. There is a new all female band out of Canada , The SURFRAJETTES . Check them out. Lots of U tube videos.
Primo summertime listening for me? Any of the first 3 James Gang records and the live one too. Beer (non alcoholic for me these days), BBQ, and Joe Walsh with a view of Lake Erie from my deck is a perfect summer day.
An album I associate with the summer is Van Morrison's Inarticulate Speech of The Heart. First heard it in the South Of France. Another great chillout album.
Hi Pete I'm with you about the fascination of Woodstock I was only 9 when it took place I would have loved to have been there, my choice of album to play in the summer is Moonflower by the fantastic Santana.
Definitely a killer album!! Can't go wrong with Hendrix!! My #8: Also going with a live album today from of the biggest Country Stars around. This guy has a ton of songs & albums that scream the Summertime, and his live shows always take place during the Summer!! Talking about Kenny Chesney - Live In No Shoes Nation
Pretty Things - Parachute June 1970
This is their 5th studio album and as usual its full of great melodies/harmonies, there isn't a bad track on here and the best track "Summer Time" (a bonus track on the reissue) sums this album up perfectly.
Hi Andrew. Excellent pick
@@melaniethurber5117 Thanks Melanie, they deserved a lot more recognition than they got, a great English band right up there with the Kinks and the Stones.
@@andrewcarr5923 Wow Andrew that´s an awesome album. I´ve picked it during the seventies serie. Cool pick.
@@dannyhoeykens Thanks Danny.

The Corrs--"In Blue"
Thin Lizzy-Jailbreak. The 1976 U.S breakthrough from this band originally formed in Ireland. This was Thin Lizzy's sixth album, but third with the lineup of bassist/vocalist Phil Lynott, guitarists Scott Gorham and Brian Robertson, and drummer Brian Downey. Lynott and Downey were the Irishmen, Gorham was American, and Robertson was from Scotland. This was produced by John Alcock, who also worked with Genesis guitarist Steve Hackett. It was recorded at the Who's Ramport Studios. Another one that i got when i was with my dad's family. Got it the same time as Machine Head. It includes barn burners like the title track, Boys Are Back In Town, Emerald, and Warriors. It also includes melodic tracks like Romero And The Lonely Girl and Running Back. The former includes acoustic guitar from Phil.
My #8: Kansas - Point Of Know Return

@@ericdinse5047 excellent choice
Definitely on my list later in the month. My last several will be my favorites
My Pick for Day #8 The Donnas - Get Skintight (1999)
I remember buying a KISS Tribute CD on the Lookout Records label called KISS THIS! and it was 24 deep covers by garage punk bands I never heard of! COOL!
One band piqued my interest, The Donnas cover of Ace Frehley's Speeding Back To My Baby and it kinda reminded me of the Runaways, that energy. So I went
to the CD store and picked up their second album American Teenage Rock N' Roll Machine and the just released Get Skintight! and it was a windows down volume
up type of record! A great party record too with killer anthems like Skintight, Hyperactive, Hook It Up, Doin' Donuts, Party Action, Get Outta My Room and a punk-y
cover of Motley Crue's Too Fast For Love! Such a fun record! as are all their records, sadly after seven solid albums they disbanded in 2012.
I haven't heard their name in ages and I think Mark poated an album by them the other day. Are they still active?
Yes! Great one! Discovered The Donnas on the Detroit Rock City Soundtrack playing a cover of "Strutter". Great energetic band!
Hi Drew must admit never heard of this band and if its punky then it wont be for me but sounds good if you like that sound
@@tomp8463 Yes! Mark stole my thunder! LOL! sadly they broke up in 2012
@@ramonace4770 Thanks Ramon! yes they are! Strutter is a killer cover!
I go with E.L.O. You can choose every good compilation, but i will take "Discovery". 🐈
My pick today will be Meatloaf ‘Bat Out Of Hell’ cranked this one all summer long when I was 17. Life was a party!
@@resistor27 Hi resistor. Excellent pick
My choice for today is the debut album on RCA by The Youngbloods. Get Together is a great gathering song and the album is filled with lively rock n' roll and blues covers to get the party started. Statesboro Blues is a personal favorite and Jesse Colin Young's bass is stellar throughout the album.
@@keithulrich1235 hi Keith. Awesome pick and article
@@melaniethurber5117 Thanks Melanie.
Bachman-Turner Overdrive 2 1973 - Let it Ride is a summertime anthem that must be played outdoors or in the car.. really any of their first 5 albums could be picked.
Well had a busy weekend so no post so here are my picks for Day 6 and Day 7
Day 6 Battleborn The Killers
Day 7 Sax-a-go-go Candy Dulfer
If your from Canada you already know this. If your not do yourself a favour. Trooper- hot shots.
It reminds me of hot weather, beer and women in jean shorts that are a just a little too small. Summer
Great Pick! My Pick today is Hardlines first album. Double Eclipse!!
Great Pick! Saw them live with Mr Big and Electric Boys!
The Cars - Self Titled Debut
Great choice, absolutely amazing set! My choice today...
Levellers - Levelling the Land
An excellent choice for this month's topic - so I am thinking "albums I'd play in the car with the windows wound down or at a summer BBQ or party".
Here goes:
01 - George Thorogood And The Destroyers - Bad To The Bone (1982)
02 - The Doobie Brothers - The Captain And Me (1973)
03 - Electric Light Orchestra - Out Of The Blue (1977)
04 - 10cc - The Original Soundtrack (1975)
05 - The Blues Brothers Band - Red, White And Blues (1992)
06 - Spirit - The Adventures Of Kaptain Kopter And Commander Cassidy In Potatoland (1981)
07 - Sparks - Indiscreet (1975)
08 - The Dead South - Good Company (2014)
#08. Bachman Turner Overdrive ll. Their second album 1973. A great album that cemented my ears to this great band. Favourite song is Stonegates. This album does contain Takin Care Of Business. Other favourites include Give It Time, Blown and I Dont Have Hide. The entire album is great in my humble opinion. Let It Ride is another classic from this one.

Excellent pick pete I'm going to purchase the album you picked after hearing your review !
It's a must album! You'll be glad you bought it for certain!

It would have been a mind blowing first concert for you.
Kool and The Gang Best Of

The Rolling Stones - Exile on Main Street

Day 8
Marvelous pick Pete
25 Anniversary of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. This is on a DVD.
This was a concert that was done in October 2009. It was held at Madison Square Garden in New York. This concert has been called the best ever. The DVD shows more parts of the concert than HBO did. Eric Clapton was supposed to attend this concert but was unable to because of problems he was having and Jeff Beck was asked to fill in for him. This concert is worth watching if you haven’t seen it yet. It has many different musicians on this. These are some of the musicians. U2, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, Paul Simon, Jeff Beck Band, Metallica, Simon and Garfunkel, Crosby Stills and Nash.
Here are some of the special guest: Mick Jagger, Billy Joel, Sting, Dion, Billy Gibbons, Jackson Browne, Ray Davies, John Fogerty, Buddy Guy, Black Eyed Peas, and many others.
That's some line up Melanie, I'll check it out.
@@andrewcarr5923 thanks Andrew. That’s not all the special guests either.
Great choice melanie it must have been an allnighter with all those acts.
