Eyewear loves music, as you probably know, and loves a good list. Given the London BBQ moment, here are ten songs - arguably the greatest in the rock/pop canon - that go with hot times. I should add that I am of the opinion that rock/pop has two key themes: sex and love. Here then 10 recommended blistering summer songs, G & T optional:
1. '99.9 F' - Suzanne Vega
2. 'Mesopotamia' - The B-52's
3. 'Sex On Fire' - Kings Of Leon
4. 'Blister In The Sun' - Violent Femmes
5. 'Summer of 69' - Bryan Adams
6. 'Summer's Cauldron' - XTC
7. 'Whole Lotta Love' - Led Zep
8. 'Real Cool Time' - The Stooges
9. 'L.A. Woman' - The Doors
10. 'Sister Havana' - Urge Overkill
1. '99.9 F' - Suzanne Vega
2. 'Mesopotamia' - The B-52's

Good choice! I couldn't have done much better myself but you forgot to mention Engelbert. It's taken me forty years to realise that the guy has one of the best voices since Roy Orbison. And Lord Bragg agrees with me on that!
