If you had the choice, what 10 songs would comprise a CD that best sums up summer, driving along the beachfront and enjoying the day? The songs that automatically put you in the mood to turn it up and enjoy the day.

Mine:

Boys Of Summer - Don Henley
All The Small Things - Blink 182
Things Don't Seem - Australian Crawl
Don't Change - INXS
Just Like Paradise - David Lee Roth
California Girls - Beach Boys
One Summer - Daryl Braithwaite (I know, but it does sum it up well)
Happy Together - The Turtles
Saturday Nights (All Right For Fighting) - Elton John
Young Years - Dragon

Check out this one:
Thursday- "Standing on the edge of summer"

And Billy Idol "Hot in the City" used to be a staple on summer radio in the day...

No surpise that Aussie music reminds me of an Aussie summer, so I went with a few 'classics':

Ammonia - Drugs
Frenzal Rhomb - Let's Drink A Beer
Grinspoon - Just Ace
Spiderbait - Calypso
Regurgitator - ! (The Song Formerly Known As)
TISM - Greg! The Stop Sign!
The Avalanches - Radio
PNAU - Wild Strawberries
Pendulum - Hold Your Colour
Sonic Animation - Love Lies Bleeding


Could have fit a whole lot more, but I like how this flows :D
