Rock music and summer-time go together perfectly. Those long carefree days and hot nights provide the perfect setting for the youthful energy and romantic possibilities that fuel the spirit for these anthems.
Whether you first heard a hot new summer hit on a friend’s record player, a transistor radio at the beach, the jukebox at the local diner or car radio while cruising downtown, you likely have one special song that stands out – usually because it’s tied to a magical summer moment.
Starting in 1963, when the Beach Boys introduced the world to their intoxicating summer sound, this week’s trivia challenge takes you on a year-by-year nostalgic trip back through the summer soundtracks of your youth. Although the songs weren’t necessarily released in the summer, they each found their way onto the hot-weather soundtrack.
So test your knowledge of the singers, all-time groups and one-hit wonders that rocked our summers past and relive their memorable tunes that will forever play in our heads. Good luck!
