Roll the windows down, turn the music up

For those who love to drive, windows down, music blaring - a playlist for the summer. (Sad part about Florida, too hot to have the windows down. Major bummer.)


"My Life Would Suck Without You" -- Kelly Clarkson
*Have to admit, when I first heard the title of the song I laughed a little. Really, Kelly how innovative are we? Yet, it's a catchy song and fun to sing (or in my case, scream) along to. Plus, I also know a few people my life would suck without.

"Everything" -- Michael Buble
*Much calmer than Kelly's tune, but just as catchy. Most of Michael's songs just have a summer swing to them. Also, despite most of them being covers, he does a good job in rejuvenating oldies. And this one's an original, written by Buble, making it even better.

"Rockaway Beach" -- The Ramones
*The Ramones are my band choice of the summer, every summer. Their tunes are fun and catchy, and of course, punk. But not too hardcore. These NYC boys just make you want to sing and bounce along. The Ramones are really at their best when listened to on a warm sunny day.

"Days Go By" -- Keith Urban
*I'm admitting it, unabashedly, I love country music. And Keith is at the top of my country loves list. The best part of this song is when he sings "like a hand out the window in the wind," cause I always have to do just what he says. (Also, check out his newest hit "Sweet Thing," it's very summery.)

"Summer Nights" -- Grease Soundtrack
*A summer staple. I need not say more.

"Why Do You Let Me Stay Here" -- She & Him
*A light, airy and fun song. Plus, Zoey Deschanel is the epitome of adorable when she sings.

"Massive Nights" -- The Hold Steady
*Great to listen to before a night out on the town. A song about crazy nights you'll never forget.
"Never Let This Go" -- Paramore
*Not quite as happy a song, but still catchy. But especially good if you've got a little steam to let off. Another fun one to scream along to.

So break out your MP3 player, roll down the windows and rock out under the summer sun!
