Summer song list
Summer songs are often like summer movies–a lot of flash but not much substance. “Hollaback Girl”? That’s in “Pearl Harbor” and “Armageddon” territory. Anything beyond sounding good in your car with the sunroof open is a bonus when it comes to the sounds of summer. With that in mind, these two playlists should have you set for an hour of cruising on LSD … or getting stuck in traffic near Grant Park.
