Great Beach Music

[Mermaid]

I thought I would burn some CDs (legally, from Rhapsody). I want to build up my collection of music to have at the beach.

Your favorites? All kinds!

Coldplay? Sorry, I hear enough whining in my every day life without listing to the whiniest band on earth when I'm trying to relax.

I usually just put the radio on the Seabreeze and let those Silver Bullets rip.

I might pop in a little Drive By Truckers if I'm feeling special sporty.

I like Jimmy Buffet too, but man, I had a terrible time at his concert years ago. The Parrotheads were out of control.
People were falling down drunk from tailgate parties in the parking lot, it was Barfarama stepping through there, and by the time the show started the crowd was so obnoxious. The couple next to us hassled each other the whole night, then got taken away by security after the husband began choking the wife.
Of course it wasn't Jimmy's fault!

Favorite beach-type mix:

School's Out for Summer - Alice Cooper

Surf's Up Tonight - Midnight Oil

Vacation - the Go Gos

Fight for Your Right To Party - Beastie Boys

The Roots - The Seed

Good Vibrations - Beach Boys

Groovin' - The Rascals

Summer Song - Chad and Jeremy

Three Little Birds - Bob Marley

Sailing - Christopher Cross

A Pirate Looks At Forty - Jimmy Buffet

We're Going to Be Friends - White Stripes

Riders on the Storm - the Doors

My sixteen-year old daughter saw Coldplay earlier this week in concert. She was actually more interested in the start-up band than them, but said they were surprisingly good, that they really knew how to work the crowd.

There are some bands like that, that are much better in person than on radio. And the converse is true, too.

[Suncat]

Sheryl Crowe - Wanna Soak up the Sun
All I Wanna Do is Have Some Fun

Any Jimmy Buffett will do.

If you are just wanting to relax with calm, soothing instrumentals, go to Magnolia House in Grayton and buy any of Nancy Veldman's CD's.

Pink - Get This Party Started

[Donna]

Anything by Bob Marley and the Wailers. Also, there is a two-disc CD entitled "Beach Music" that contains tunes from the 60s and we play it constantly when at the beach. It makes the kids stick their fingers down their throats, but we make them go out and sit on the steps at Zoo Gallery waiting for a glimpse of a current rock star.

[Jdarg]

REM
Bob Marley
Neil Young
Peter Gabriel
Old Crow Medicine Show
Soundtrack to "50 First Dates" (all of the songs, not just on the released CD)

[Bdarg]

My wife caught most of my beach favorites, but I can add UB40 to the list. ...and she is daring me to add one of my favorites, Tom Waits, who's music goes anywhere.

[Johnrudy]

"The Red Walls" are a new, young band. Reminiscent of the Beatles.
The Chemical Brothers
the "Run, Lola, Run" soundtrack.
The Gipsy Kings

All of the above can be found on Rhapsody.

[Bob]

Kinks-"Lost and found" contains a reference to a hurricane

[Smiling JOe]

I like the songs of the frogs and the waves. They beat man made music, which I truly enjoy, any day.

[wishly]

The Beach Boys!

[sarahj]

Bob Seger-Jimmy Buffet

[Beachlover2]

Love most of the usual - Marley - Buffett - but also like Jack Johnson - what beautiful lyrics - he is a surfer dude from Hawaii.

Mahalo Jack - love your music.

Good suggestion! My brother recently gave me one of his CDs. I had never heard of him but instantly got hooked on the music.

[katie blue]

Perfect for a misty morning with waves crashing in the background, or for a quiet, smoky sunset:

"Veedon Fleece" album by Van Morrison.

Must be listened to in its entirety as a single piece of work. If this album doesn't move you, you got a hole in your soul. This is Van at his deepest. Not a beach party album, this one is for times when it's just you and the sea, or maybe just one other special someone along.

[Beach Runner]

Bob Marley!

[Mermaid]

Wow! Excellent suggestions, all of them, and what a variety!

[Santiago]

Absolute best beach music out and probably my favorite of any kind of music. I keep his CD playing in my jeep constantly. Another really good band if you have not checked them out yet is Wilco.

[katie blue]

Ditto Jack Johnson.

[Mermaid]

Ditto Jack Johnson.

My teenage daughter is in LOVE with Jack Johnson. She saw him in concert--talk about one happy little girl!

See my avatar? That's her, with her arm outstretched saying, "Here Jack Johnson, sing to me, Jack Johnson..."

[ladybug8876]

Ya'll have some great suggestions, but my favorite to have on the beach is Country Cutie himself Kenny Chesney . His last three albums have some great beach songs on it. Especially his latest Old Blue Chair, check him out you won't be dissappointed.

[Wastin Away]

There is an awsome band out of Destin, don't know if they are together anymore, called the Salty Dogs. If you can find their CD it is truly awsome and they are from the area. Similar music as Buffet.

[DD]

Wastin Away...love your handle!

I bought the Salty Dogs CD a few years ago at Collaberations (that store that stuff doesn't match the couch) but I noticed it was closed (or closing) this past summer. There is lots of great music, local and otherwise above the Sundog Book Store.

Here Come The Mummies (more of a party at the beach beach music )

[RiverOtter]

John Mayer

[kathydwells]

Little River Band

[katie blue]

On the reggae tip, don't forget about Toots and the Maytals and Peter Tosh--especially live Tosh, if you can get your hands on it.

[RiverOtter]

How about Sheryl Crow... since she is a local gal

[Landlocked]

Anyone here ever listen to Robert Earl Keen?

[Cil]

Love both. Saw Tosh live years ago with Jimmy Cliff.
I like Robert Earl Keen as well.

Donna the Buffalo (really great, a combination of country/bluegrass/progressive zydeco), Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Vic Chestnutt, Neko Case, Old 97's. There's tons and tons more or this alternative country.

[hutch]

What no bad boy country music like Travis Tritt

[GraytonBound]

Pul EEEZ
Don't give him any country music songs to download....I can't take it

[RiverOtter]

What no bad boy country music like Travis Tritt

Good point, I was looking more for the "Outlaw" stuff. Didn't really like the alternative stuff.

[CastlesOfSand]

John Mayer

Love John Mayer!!

[hutch]

Love Miles Davis "Summertime"

[RiverOtter]

Hit me with something cool. Not something ya hear on the radio

[Mermaid]

Try Buddha Bar. Go on to www.amazon.com and you can listen to cuts. Definitely cool and definitely not what you'd hear here. (Now if you were in Paris, that would be a different story!) It's cool.

Listened to Fabulous Thunderbirds today and they were plenty rowdy and fun!
