Here are a few songs for the heat of the summer:
- “Starless and Bible Black” by King Crimson — Thank you to James Hageman for the suggestion (from many years back)! This is an exceptional rock song.
- “Summertime Blues” by The Who
- “Thinking About You” by Calvin Harris feat. Ayah Marar
- “Making Memories” by Rush
- “Believer” by Imagine Dragons
- “Panama” by Van Halen
- “Wipe Out” by Surfaris
Finally, this is an artist you should explore when you get the chance:
- Buddy Rich — The greatest drummer of all time. If you doubt it, ask the best drummers alive. Serious drummers look to Buddy as the pinnacle of drumming. If you ask them about Buddy Rich, they’ll all something along the lines of, “Buddy could do what I do but twice as fast and precisely.” Buddy Rich belongs in the pantheon of all-time greatest musicians.
I release a new suggestions list every other Tuesday. Please leave your suggestions in the comments. If I pick your song, artist, or album, I’ll give you credit for it up above.
