The 60 Greatest Summer Songs of All Time According to Timeout

"It takes more than repeating the season's name to become one of the all-time great summer songs... otherwise, we'd all be stuck listing to the Grease soundtrack on repeat for eternity. True summer songs can be a lot of things, from slow jams perfectly calibrated for a summer BBQ to surf-rock classics, sun-drenched psychedelia or shamelessly nostalgic pop songs. The songs on this list cover multiple generations of sun-soaked summer songs, from the classic '50s sound all the way up to 'Hot Girl Summer'. You'll find indie-rock gems and classic soul. But what you won't find, with respect to Bryan Adams and John Travolta, are songs that constantly sneak onto summer playlists by virtue of their titles. Summer's short. We've only got time for bangers." - timeout.com
