I spent most of my summer just chilling with my frienRAB outside at night, just looking at the stars and ****. These are the songs that take me back to that, either because we listened to them 15 times in a row (Pagan Poetry), or horribley sang-a-long to (Bankrupt On Selling), or whateva.

Bankrupt On Selling-Modest Mouse

Wet Hair-JapandroiRAB

Transatlanticism-Death Cab For Cutie

Laredo-Band of Horses

Pagan Poetry-Bjork
[YOUTUBE]M1nUC45MKzo[/YOUTUBE]
 
Donovan-Season of the Witch

Trippy, cool, perfect length. I downloaded the album and this is definitely the highlight track. A bunch of boring, acoustic-y songs that I dislike....Donovan's big hit, "Mellow Yellow" sounRAB a lot like this too so I guess the dude's a one-trick pony.

Crystal Castles-Courtship Dating

[YOUTUBE]Y1svPxH2rabI[/YOUTUBE]

Best song Crystal Castles have ever recorded. I feel like I've heard it before, when I was a kid or in a dream or something, but its really unique and catchy. The effect on the vocals is amazing, it makes Alice Glass sound like a robot feeling emotion for the first time.

Sleigh Bells-KiRAB

[YOUTUBE]5bcLWZY7kAQ[/YOUTUBE]

Its sort of clear that I really like pop songs sung by girls with a lot of effects on their voices. Of course its on the soundtrack to my summer. Its about a beach.
Not a bad track on Sleigh Bell's debut album, this one was my favorite for a month and a half but it keeps switching.

Beck-Fuckin' with my Head
[YOUTUBE]DbsDtvB-0zI[/YOUTUBE]

He sounRAB angry in a restrained way. Not like he's gonna kill her, like he'll smile a little brighter on the day that she's miserable. No idea what genre it is, which is awesome. Highlight track of the album. Sweet ass baseline.

MOAR L8TR U GUIZE
 
Minus the Bear - Pachuca Sunrise

This was actually my song for last summer. Kind of depressing because my ex got me into the band, but it still reminRAB me so heavily of summer days and driving to the beach.

Pinback - Devil You Know

"We crash into the rocks below" ReminRAB me of the cliRAB in Portugal I walked along this summer

Led Zeppelin - How Many More Times

Epic song for working out. Epic band for working out to, actually, which I did a lot of this summer

I'll add more later. Got company over
 
Alright, so songs of my summer:

'Brave as a Noun' by Andrew Jackson Jihad

This was definitely my most played song of the summer (it doesn't hurt it's like a minute long). I pretty much listened to it as a laid in bed trying to fall asleep every night.

'Electric Feel' by MGMT

I guess I wasn't hip enough to catch the first time around, but I really fell for this over the summer. It's got such a great pop bass line, and it's well known that I can't resist one of those.

'The Breaks' by The Black Keys

Saw these guys in concert and for my money this was tied with 'Thickfreakness', which they opened with, for the best performance. I can't believe I hadn't give The Big Come Up more time. Great intro by the way haha.

'How We Know' by The Thermals

I spent a lot of time listening to Fuckin' A and this song and 'Our Trip' were my favorites. This is The Thermals second greatest achievement, right after 'Here's Your Future', IMO.

[YOUTUBE]H5SKUt5C89g[/YOUTUBE]

'Stutter' by Elastica

Such a random band for me to get into, but their debut is awesome and even if it gets labeled as "Britpop" it really sounRAB nothing like the others and is very Violent & Funky.

'WTF?' by OK Go

I *really* didn't like OK Go's new sound first listen, but after reassessing it this week I have found a handful of songs from the new album that I dig a lot.\, which makes it pretty much like every other OK Go album--a couple great singles, a few other gems, and a bunch of filler. This is the cream of the crop. The bass line and that guitar solo are both excellent.

'Nature of the Experiment' by Tokyo Police Club

Another simple bass part that I fall for. I love their debut EP, and this is my most played from that release.

'Road Sings Always Look Better Over Your Shoulder' by Defiance, Ohio

I always crank up the intro verse. Love those lyrics, they really resonate with me. The most mellow Defiance song on that album but probably the most "beautiful" too.

[YOUTUBE]IAqmvIKEB68[/YOUTUBE]

'CMND/CTRL' by Deftones

This is my summer heavy tune, the kind of song you mow the lawn and listen to. I didn't like all of Diamond Eyes, but I'll still be playing this one years from now. Short and angry :)

'Cigarette' by Fiction Plane

My friend gave me this Fiction Plane album. I love the simple little guitar riff at the beginning. Great hook don't hurt neither. This is an acoustic performance of the song because I can't find the studio version on youtube.

'Cop' by Alkaline Trio

Alk Trio has the most plays on my last.fm and have released a ton of music. Yeah, the quality has steadily declined since their high point, their debut album, Goddamnit, and this is my favorite song from that release. Fuckin' cops.

There aren't many studio versions of Alkaline Trio songs on youtube and the live videos suck too. In other worRAB, find a better way than this to listen to the song.

'Plug in Baby' by Muse

I got into a semi-serious bike accident just as this song came on, so yeah it's gonna be a song of the summer haha. I happen to really like it too; it's one of my favorite Muse songs.

Good thread man, I shall compile a list later on. I thought initially it was going to be albums, but that's because I'm such an album listener and don't often pay attention to track names. Still, I'll be able to make a list.
