All Your Summer Songs

Happy Blowing Up of Things Day. Putting up music seems too labor intensive, and the combination of heat and Smog (the band, not the weather phenomenon) has reduced me to a heap on the couch, waiting for his pie to bake. Question put forth: what are the truly awesome summer albums? Not of this year, but in general. Off the top of my head, I'm thinking of Liz Phair's Exile in Guyville, Jefferson Airplane's Volunteers, The Dirtbombs' Ultraglide in Black and The Sea & Cake's The Biz. Tiajuana Moods by Mingus is in there as well. Sound off, what rocks in July?

Incidentally, a compromise has been reached in the legs vs. cabinet debate. Detente!
