"Summer Breeze" - The Isley Brothers
so basically, 30 songs got by typing "sun" or "summer" into itunes, 15 got by asking Francis what that song was he heard at Reading in 2005 and 5 cheesy oddities.

FASCINATING.

But yeah, feel free to reply with your own (not 50, that would be silly and/or admirable)

Never Too Much - Luther Vandross always gives me a summery feeling, but yeah there are some pretty shocking choices on that list.

I coincidentally have a summer playlist I made last year... and I was thinking of making a new one for this year but I rarely listened to the other one :/

-finds it and posts some of it-

"Digsy's Dinner" - Oasis
"For What It's Worth" - Buffalo Springfield
"Brown Sugar" - The Rolling Stones
"Come Together" - Primal Scream
"September" - Earth, Wind & Fire
"Let's Go Crazy" - Prince
"Steal My Sunshine" - Len (OKAY I DID THE ITUNES SEARCH THING TOO but it genuinely does remind me of summer LOL)
"The Bucket" - Kings of Leon
"Reelin' in the Years" - Steely Dan
"5 Years Time" - Noah and the Whale
"Shark in the Water" - VV Brown
"Living For the City" - Stevie Wonder
"In My Life" - The Beatles
"(Love Is Like A) Heat Wave" - Martha and the Vandellas
"Ashes to Ashes" - David Bowie

there's others but they're either generic, appear on that list LOL, or are a bit embarrassing / not very summery at all to others I guess

NME have gone down in their opinions since about 6 years ago, they need to stop now.

What a bollocks list, honestly.

Only two good ones on there, Sweet Disposition and the one you put in Bold.
Wankers.

Dunno about best but these songs remind me of summer...

Groove Armada - Song 4 Mutya
Javine - Surrender (Your Love)
VV Brown - Shark In The Water
Bob Sinclar - La La Song
Agent X - Fallin'
Armand Van Helden - My My My


I'll try think of more.
