Not finding a topic devoted to summer music (incredible!) I decided to launch one myself. Okay, it's already August but better late than never.  Grin

This is my favourite right now: "Her Face Forms In Summertime" by The Future Sound of London. That guitar sound is to die for! Roll Eyes

Great to see this topic taking off.  Smiley

Here's another I consider to be a quintessential summer song, "Summer Breeze" by The Isley Brothers:
