    I know that summer's almost over, but I've been thinkin' about the songs that remind me of summer. So I was wondering, what are people favorite summer tunes?

    Here's a few of mine:

    "Summertime Girls" - Y&T
    "Surfwax America" - Weezer
    "Hot Nights, Wild Crazy Days" - Judas Priest
    "Wouldn't It Be Nice" - The Beach Boys (perfectly captures that late-summer melancholy)

    Anybody else got any?

    For summer cruisin', I like:

    Van Halen - Dreams, Panama
    Def Leppard - Switch 625, Die Hard The Hunter
    Poison - Nothin' But A Good Time, Ride the Wind
    Great White - Once Bitten, Twice Shy, Highway Nights
    Steppenwolf - Born To Be Wild
    Bon Jovi - Runaway
    Judas Priest - You've got Another Thing Comin', Turbo Lover

    'Course, these songs are better for cruisin' in my Talon, not the minivan... :(

    How 'bout Summertime Blues by Eddie Cochrane! Or the Stray Cats version would work too.
