Ah! Summer! It’s everyone’s favorite time of year. The kids have gone from the books to the sprinklers, the teenage girls from mini skirts and uggs to mini skirts and flip flops. Everywhere around the world, everyone rejoices – well, except maybe Australia.
There’s no summer without a proper summer playlist. Everyone needs a new jam or two for those trips to the beach or nightly cruises to nowhere. And yes, you can just turn on the radio and listen to the latest from Ashlee Simpson’s man, or you can take the advice of your friends here at Rock.com and check out these tracks. We guarantee to make you look a little more cultured in front of your friends – promise!
