So, so, so many. Too many to get to, in fact, in one season. You know that first day of the year when it's warm enough you can put all the windows down when you're driving to work? Get the sun and the wind at the same time? That's the day, out of all the days, when I have the worst time deciding what music to listen to. And then there's the distinction between hot summer nights and warm summer days, both of which require a different set of albums. And the further distinction between straight up summer albums and summery-feeling road trip albums. I don't even know where to start here. Opening iTunes. EDIT: I started a list, got as far as Animal Collective's Merriweather Post Pavilion, became overwhelmed, and retreated. I'll leave it to someone else to expound upon the Beach Boys.
