Now that summer's in full swing, let's all share a list of albums which are best enjoyed on a typical summer day.

Jorge Ben's "Africa Brasil" is one of my personal favourites, though anything along that tropical Brazilian line always works well.

Most cheery stuff by the Beach Boys, definitely.

More albums to add, when they come to mind.
