What's the best SUMMER CVH album?

[Vinnie Velvet]

Yesterday, I was having a barbecue, chugging down a nice cold brew and playing some CVH!!

I played 1984, from beginning to end.

And I gotta say, the songs from that album really bring out some good summertime fun!

Soaking up the rays, having some good food, drinking, chicks, etc.

To me, 1984 is the perfect summer album.

So, what's your favorite CVH album to play in the summer, outdoors??

All of em except Fair Warning... Although FW is one of my favorites, it has a darker edge that doesn't exactly scream "summertime fun"...

VHII is a particular summertime favorite because Beautiful Girls exemplifies what the whole California/Surf/Beach life is about...

yes i agree there

1984 !!!!

and Diver Down as well

I'm putting together a CVH CD compilation of nothing but "Summertime songs".

The 1984 songs will be "Top Jimmy" "Drop Dead Legs" and "I'll Wait"

If I wanna hear Jump or Panama or HFT, I'll just turn on the radio!

I've said it before and I'll say it again...VHII is the only way to bring in summer. Eventually they all get played but on that first summer-like spring day when you can drive with the windows open and top down, turn the knob all the way to 11 so no one can hear you singing along, there's nothing that will put a smile on my face faster.

VHII is great too.

But I still gotta go with 1984.

I think Drop Dead Legs and Girl Gone Bad are great summer tunes.

"Lazy eyes in the summer heat...fresh from outta town..."

Awesome lyrics.

Dave rules.

Fuck...All of them rock the house!!!

[canadiandlrgirl]

for me VH(because it has icecream man on it) or WACF

[seenbad]

I've compiled a summertime (just recently actually) cvh cd that contains:

1. Unchained....just cuz. Not summertime"ish" but it's just a kickass way to get any cd going.

2. Panama

3. Top Jimmy

4. Girl Gone Bad

5. Beautiful Girls

6. Little Guitars

7. Hang em' High

8. Bottoms up

9. Feel your love tonight

10. Ice Cream man

11. Could this be magic

12. In a Simple Rhyme

13. Where have all the good times gone

14. Drop dead legs

15. Me Wise Magic

16. Eruption

Steaks should be done by now and I'm 3 beers deep.

Rinse, lather, repeat. Put the cd player to random. You're not gonna miss with that recipe.

For BBQ lounging purposes, VHII by a mile. Diver Down would be my next choice.

These are the most chick-friendly, and the others rock a little too hard and demand too much attention when you're trying to hook up, anyways.

Gotta go with Diver Down here...


Phukkin album just SCREAMS summertime to me!
