The Official Summer Beats Thread!

In this thread I will compile a list of summer beats from all our summers and will update everytime I remember one (seeing as I deffinately can't remember them all right now) and will update once '11 summer comes and we are rocking out to bluelightning.

Songs in italics were common summer beats and should be listened to in the future for nastalgia rushes.

While Cass was driving me home tonight The Middle came on the radio, finished right when I got home. It was scary movie. So I added it to the '12 list.

That shits the best when that happens

Here's Master Passion Greed by Nightwish. About one minute in, the main guitar riff starts playing.


Now here's Storytime. The main riff is right at the beginning.


Anybody else think they sound similar?

Okay, here's one that I think has a stronger relation. The riff I'm talking about is about 3:00 in.


Now go to 3:16 on Storytime. The melody is different, but the rhythm feels incredibly similar?

i can see why your roommate didn't like your music...

I like metal as long as its not screamo. Nightwish is actually pretty good.
Sahara is freaking tight.

And yeah, those melodies are all mad similar lol, but theres only so many riffs on a guitar that sound good for metal.

Actually, Abdel has claimed to enjoy several of the songs I listen to.
Oh, and he hasn't listened to Master Passion Greed or Sahara.

Lol, I love how our last summer just about recollecting on old times and old beats.. it's so... sad almost.

Can't wait for Summer 13; The Year of the Shark

started summa 13 :3
so far it is mainly inspired by our roadtrip to impulse, as you can see they are nearly all songs that were played a lot on that trip lol. GET HYPED

Any one remember tunes from previous summers that haven't been updated? I'll edit with tunes for this summer that have gotten steam, and i'll post what beats from last years summer i remember

Update: '15 and 16'. still need to add more though; and '16 is obviously a work in progress.

Also formatted wrong, so i'll have to change that later.



Prep yourself for the new RH album, comes out physically June 17 (and i still haven't heard anything but the singles!!)

ill add some shit. also weezer in july in tranna?

how much is it? i'm very very likely down. like sounds like a swell old time.

A few updates, list is really comin' together.

Do all the summa beats have to be uplifting? Like....partyin/just havin a good time?

Hey! Who here likes jazz/orchestra blended with copious amounts of dubstep?

generally if it's something that i associate with a certain even that was super summery (like our road trip last year, or the bbq we had this summer [see: kendrick lamar - alright])

another criteria matched by some of the tunes is that they are played a lot through out the summer, which is kinda silly cuz i don't chill with u guys daily so we're not always listening to the same tunes

big juicy saucey update

early summer is absolutely amazing

added california kids, frankie sinatra, and gettin jiggy wit it by will smith.

ty what would be a good shaka ponk song for this summer?

Plz consider these two sick beats

these are FIRE.

man i want to make a mix for the first one and then throw a rager solely so i can witness it blasting out over a huge crowd

which one do you prefer? second one is a little more summery to me, but first one bangs a bit harder

second one would be sick for a molly combo video

man the full killer instinct ost ins't on yt in 1piece i was gonna add it to my playlist of albums

Yo, I'm glad to hear you like it I'm having a hard time choosing between the two of them but I think you're right on the second one being more summery.

I think the actual album only has 15 songs on it, here's the entire album on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL36A3C974F63815B1
