Cool The sun is here(ish)!

Hey all. It looks like summer is trying it's best to start. As such, it's time for the warm weather tunes to come out. What are you favourites to drive to in the sun? Preferably upbeat songs, and if they make you dance around in the car even better . Even if they're horrendously cheesy (like the ones below), let's hear them...

If you don't like any suggestions here, no worries, but don't hate- appreciate .

YouTube - 2Pac - How Do U Want It

And before anyone else says it....

YouTube - Will Smith Summertime

Re: The sun is here(ish)!

Yeah I agree Will Smith - Summertime has to be a classic "cruising" tune, but I usually go for
Chicane - best of album
Rob Dougan - Furious Angels album
Anything by the Prodigy (good on quiet, open back roads for "making progress" to)
Various "Ibiza" compilation albums
And believe it or not, anything by :- Peter Gabriel, Erasure or Annie Lennox.

Graham.

Re: The sun is here(ish)!

As soon as the weather warmed up and the Sun came out, I put on some Beach Boys. Quality tunes

I had on The Cult's Sonic Temple whilst driving in the sun the other day - that was pretty cool.
