There is also a really nice cover of Summer breeze by Type o negative and it is quite different to the original performed by Original Seals and Crofts and this version by Isley Brothers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNo7ZZryuSQ

Dave Brockis

I have no idea why Rock Lobster has been categorised as a summer song, but I'm voting for it anyway.

David Swearingen

Summer song with out the Beach Boys? Really?

Slew

Hey Doug you forgot one.. Saturday in the park - Chicago

Matthew Hackbert

If you don't see something on the FF poll this time that you wish was there, be sure to join the discord so you can submit you nominations next time around! All of these choices come from the discord voting...

BRIAN MILLER

it seems to only let me vote for 1, not 5

Mikael Forsström

I miss the ultimate song on the list - Summertime with Janis Joplin

Mark Brennan

If you haven't seen/heard the live version of Pink Floyd's Grantchester Meadows from their live 1 hour special on KCET public television in 1970, then check it out. Many other wonderful performances, such as Green Is The Colour and Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun. https://youtu.be/jecI7xlrrmg

The Kinks concept album ("Arthur: or the Decline and Fall") should be included in a future segment. They were just as creative as the Beatles and XTC. . .

Ray Sincere

I recommended "Jets at Dawn". Oh well. I knew Be-Bop Deluxe would have a harder time.

Christopher Arters (relative timeworx - Mr.A)

I recommended "Only You Can Rock Me" by UFO... I guess not many of the community were in attendance at Teen Nights at Brookhaven Swim Club in suburban Philly during the summer of 1978, hard as that is to believe.

Vei Hei

M Ungo Jerry is the ultimate summer song.. vote it up

Dave Cohen

Hot Summer Day - It's A Beautiful Day

Mark Brennan

The first to break 100 votes: School's Out; Summer In The City; Lakeside Park; Grantchester Meadows; and it looks like Sunny Afternoon. I know all of them like the back of my hands except Lakeside Park, which I've never heard, although I've listened to most of Rush's earlier albums, I didn't tarry too long on Caress Of Steel, so if this wins, it'll be the only one that isn't already permanently etched into my brain.
